Opening Thursday, May 7 | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
I am happy to share my upcoming solo show at METHOD Gallery in Seattle, opening on May 7, and I would love for you to come if you are free.
Artist Kyung-jin Kim repurposes industrial sirens and beacons, silencing and slowing them, to create a psychological mirror of “insidious exclusion” and the microaggressions faced by immigrant communities.
This project was supported in part by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant @foundationforcontemporaryarts and by the 4Culture @kc4culture Public Free Access and Sustained Support grants.

Using custom DMX-controlled tube lights as the core material, here's how we turned an invisible force into an immersive experience for our exhibition, Undercurrent.

& a special thanks to @rossmonroe for the lights!
Big thanks to everyone who made the opening of “Shifting Fields” at Steve Gilbert Studio @gilbertphoto888 so special! It was incredible to share these “invisible structures” and atmospheric layers with you all.
If you missed the reception or want a closer look at the “stormy and lyrical” details recently highlighted by the Seattle Times @seattletimes , please join me tomorrow:
✨ Gallery Hours: Saturday, March 21 | 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM at 1418 Broadway, Seattle
I’ll be there to walk you through the collection—from the microscopic notations of the COV ISOLATION series to the expansive “waves of orange dots” in my latest mixed-media screen prints.
Many of these small and medium framed works on paper are still available for purchase. I’d love to see you there!
Thanks to Method Gallery for hosting our immersive installation “Terra Solarium,” and to the 600 visitors who came out for opening night. Come by on Saturdays between noon-4:00pm to experience the skin-crawling euphoria of our subterranean baptism. Also open for Pioneer Square Artwalk on Thursday April 2 5:00-8:00pm, and by appointment.
Starting March in Pioneer Square the right way: art, jazz, live music, and a little thrifting along the way. Art Walk nights in Seattle just hit different 🎨🎷✨

Some of our favorite moments from the recent dance activation with Undercurrent. It’s incredible to see different forms of art interact with the space, turning it into a hub for local creative communities. Huge thanks to the talented @niaaminam , @ms.plus.a , and @wigglyboy420 for such a powerful performance.
If you missed it, stop by @methodgallery this Thursday from 5–8 PM to see the installation during @pioneersquare ’s First Thursday Art Walk.
