​​Lucy Kim is a visual artist and educator exploring the many naturalizing mechanisms that structure day-to-day visual experiences. Her practice is aesthetically and materially wide-ranging, where her focus is on developing forms that are visceral, tactile, and less vision-centric. Using a broad range of materials such as oil paint, silicone rubbers, resins, and live bacteria cells, she works as a way to understand and challenge photographic authority, and the many socio-cultural systems at work to produce visibility. Recent exhibitions were held at the ICA Boston; Institute of Fine Arts-NYU, New York; and Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore, Saratoga Springs. Kim is a recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, including the ICA Foster Prize, Artadia Award, Mass Cultural Council Grant, and she has been a resident artist at the Broad Institute, MacDowell, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Hermitage Artist Retreat, and Surf Point Foundation. Reviews and features on her work have been published in The New Yorker, Juxtapoz, Bomb Magazine, The Boston Globe, The Brooklyn Rail, Art Papers, ARTNews, and Artforum, and her work is in the collections of the Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, Kadist Foundation, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the New York Public Library. Kim is Associate Professor of Art at Boston University.
