Kiya Kim

Kiya Kim is an interdisciplinary artist, a cultural engineer and kind of an innovator.

Raised in South Korea and based in New York City since 2008, her work evolves through a dialogue between inner muses and outer phenomena. The urban setting predominating throughout her life path opened her eyes to a myriad of material fabrications. Her multi-faceted works take the form of: rhythmic site-specific installation, ethereal video, juxtaposed assemblage, whimsical jewelry, interactive performance, and festive fashion-based sculpture.

Kim grew up surrounded by literature thanks to her father and mother’s artistic perspectives. Her parents unstinting support nurtured Kim’s fearless sensitivity and continual efforts to expand her offbeat vision.

Invisible Things Were Turned Into Visible and Tangible

Indescribable emotions are edited and delivered through the interpretation of the three-dimensional structures with saturated colors. 
By intuitional manner,
I experiment how my sensations react to each different attribute on elements, whether materials, sounds,colors, sentences, and places,etc. 
There are interactions with my guts which can be worked on sincerity of presence or illogical layers and redefinition of norm. 
Meanwhile,I am like floating on a certain planet which can be generating inner metaphysical vocabulary, and then those words begin to translate throughout the assemblage from the incorporation which is in between inner muse and mediums. 
Although sensory in the abstract is such as seeing the sound and listening to the colors in my practice, this eccentric universe has become my personal sanctuary and expanding public vehicle to conveying visual representations. Those are regardless of places and times in the boundless which show up through white-cubes or regeneration of societies and to be medium myself in the socially engaged art practice.
