Artist Talk with Dawn Kim

Presented on Zoom

The title of Dawn Kim’s artist talk, “If it ain’t the windmill, it’s the cows,” comes from an old farming idiom. It refers to the constancy of roving problems that arise in labor and living. This lecture will cover Kim’s failures as an artist, one after the other, some of which involved her cows, her windmill, and her work. This event is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition: Half Rest and Windows on Latimer installation Fourteen Freedoms.

Dawn Kim (born Seoul, South Korea; lives Austin, TX) examines invisible systems of power through text and image. She received a BFA from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, CA and an MFA in Photography from Yale University, New Haven, CT.
