KCCDC x Hillyer: Virtual K-Artist Talk Series #6

Yuni Kim Lang

Video Release: Friday, June 12 at 6:00 p.m.

“My work is about today. It’s concerned with materiality, process, and is strongly autobiographical... Through my work, I strive to find the voice that recognizes my roots and reveals my story.”

Yuni Kim Lang is a Michigan-based visual artist who creates sculptures, photographs, and wearable art that explores themes of weight, mass, accumulation, hair, and cultural identity. She creates sculptures out of rope and synthetic materials that transcend materiality to become bodily. She is fascinated by the things to which people give power and meaning, along with our human obsession with adornment. Lang has presented her work at numerous shows, including solo exhibitions at the Frost Art Museum in Miami, Fla. and at Sienna Gallery in Lenox, Mass., as well as at the Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan, Wis., Collective 2 Design Art Fair in New York, N.Y., Parsons Alumni Juried exhibition, New York, N.Y., Brooklyn Metal Works in Brooklyn, N.Y., Mercedes-Benz Financial Services in Farmington, Mich., and Galerie Marzee in Nijmegen, The Netherlands. She was an artist in residence at the Kohler Arts/Industry program in Kohler, Wis., Red Gate Gallery in Beijing, China, and received a merit-based scholarship for her residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vt). Lang received her MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and her BFA from Parsons School of Design. For more information, visit the artist's website at www.yunikimlang.com.
