Dawn Kim

Dawn Kim is an artist who uses image and text to examine invisible systems of power in the mundane. Raised in a religious household, she understood early the gravity of visual storytelling, which she applied to her advertising career as an art director. Printed Matter Inc. published her first artist book through the Emerging Artists Publication grant titled “The New York Testament.” Her work is in the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Yale University Art Gallery, the MoMA Library, the New York Public Library, and the Beinecke Library. She has been an artist resident at MacDowell, Vermont Studio Center, and ACRE. She currently resides in Austin, Texas as the 2020-21 St. Elmo Arts Fellow with the University of Texas. She received her MFA from Yale in 2020.
