Exhibits We Love :: Miru Kim @ Doosan Gallery
Miru Kim’s solo exhibit, The Pig That Therefore I Am, opens this Thursday, March 24, 2011 at the Doosan Gallery in New York City. This powerful collection of self portraits taken in industrial sow farms around the US raises thoughts of our relationship and treatment of other sentient beings. Please watch Kim’s recent performance in Poland inspired by this series and read her poetic and provocative artist statement.
