San Diego visual artist tackles waste and existential issues in her immersive, multi-disciplinary installation work
Heige Kim certainly sees the irony in being looked at as an “emerging artistic voice.” At 54 years of age and recently named one of seven local artists who will showcase work at the Institute of Contemporary Art’s annual NextGen exhibition, it’s difficult not to be amused.
But it could also just be that Kim’s work is simply too good to ignore and, what’s more, that it’s the result of decades of transforming her practice to find her true artistic voice.“For me, I have this little time left and I decided to spend that time really making this shift I wanted to make,” Kim says. “To communicate differently and to get more clarity on what it is I wanted to communicate with my art. To me, that’s the next step for me. So seeing a word like ‘NextGen,’ it made sense to me.
“I operate in the realm of the art world, and I am making art, but what’s happening in my work right now is that I’m not transforming the material,” says Kim. “I’m using it to become an art object.”Born Hee Jin Kim in South Korea, her parents participated in the democratic Gwangju Uprising in the country, which eventually forced them to immigrate to the San Fernando Valley in the early 1980s.
She went on to study art at University of California Los Angeles. However, she had to drop out for personal issues and, in 1996, eventually moved to New York City, where she thrived in the art scene, working as a curator and painter. But as rent prices continued to rise in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, she and her husband decided to move to upstate New York. There, she started Roos Arts, a visual art space in Rosendale, N.Y.
