Kim surveys the struggle over the degree of individual and social control of the body through the technical limitations of two-dimensional visualization. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions at Helena Anrather, New York; Foxy Production, New York; François Ghebaly, Los Angeles; Interstate Projects, Brooklyn; Cooper Cole, Toronto; Antenna Space, Shanghai; Art Gallery of York University, Toronto; Bahamas Biennale, Detroit; and others.

She is Reader in Artists’ Moving Image at Chelsea College of Arts and co-convenes the Subjectivity and Feminisms research group. Her book Art and Psychoanalysis (2012) investigates the Surrealist engagement with psychoanalytic imagery and the contemporary use of psychoanalytic concepts to understand how meaning operates. Her most recent monograph publication Therapeutic Aesthetics: Performative Encounters in Moving Image Artworks, (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020) investigates the ‘screen’ as a critical site of therapeutic encounter.This event is free and open to the general public.
