Lucy Kim

Lucy Kim is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture and biological media. In her hybrid works, she embraces distortion as a tool to deconstruct how we see what we see: the relationship between our evolved vision-centricity, constructed socio-cultural systems, and personal desires. Kim is a recipient of the 2023 Brother Thomas Fellowship, 2022 Creative Capital Award, 2019 Mass Cultural Council Grant, 2017 ICA Boston James and Audrey Foster Prize, 2014 Artadia Award, MacDowell Fellowship, Hermitage Fellowship, and Ellen Battell Stoeckel Fellowship. From 2018 to 2021, she was an artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Kim has exhibited her work at the ICA Boston; Broad Institute; Institute of Fine Arts at New York University; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum; Tufts University Art Gallery; Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore; and Brooklyn Academy of Music among others. She is based in Cambridge, MA, and teaches at Boston University.
