About The Talk
Jiwon Kim maps an artistic evolution from the micro to the macro. She begins with her earlier inquiries into the relativity of identity as an outsider and female artist in Europe, before transitioning to her recent work: using family history as a catalyst to examine intergenerational issues of power, exclusion, and memory within the Korean contemporary experience. By weaving the personal into the historical, Kim explores how the heavy consciousness of the past can be unraveled through the light gestures of art.
