Born in Quezon City, Philippines, and named after Jade’s mother’s beauty salon, they then grew up in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and immigrated to Vancouver, BC, Canada, which is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples. He currently lives in Chicago, IL, USA, which sits on the traditional unceded homelands of the Council of the Three Fires.
Jade is an Associate Professor in the Department of Fiber and Material Studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jade Yumang examines how queer optics permeate into a culture, and how that is absorbed, embodied, repeated, and eventually materialized into deviating forms through various techniques to convey notions of phenomenology, affect, and “queer” as a process. This strategy is usually executed through three-dimensional, site-specific installation, and performative work as a way to see how the body resists or submits through materiality and technique vis-à-vis obsessive acts, strict parameters, and discipline. They look at flickers of resistance by outlining historical amnesia, myths, scandal trials, obscenity laws, love, kinship, joy, film tropes, and pornography. He kindles these moments through meticulous techniques and creates abstract shapes that initially originate from a corporeal source. Typically, these ideas are tackled through a large series to tease out their formal qualities with the context that repetition creates differences and asserts a constant change. They primarily use fiber techniques because of their reliability on tension and force to create materials that are strong and resilient while being soft and pliable.
