Lucy Kim is an interdisciplinary artist who works across painting, sculpture, and biological media. In her hybrid works, she embraces distortion as a tool to deconstruct how we see what we see: the relationship between our evolved vision-centricity, constructed socio-cultural systems, and personal desires.

Kim is a recipient of the 2024 Howard Foundation Fellowship, 2022 Creative Capital Award, 2019 Mass Cultural Council Grant, 2017 ICA Boston James and Audrey Foster Prize, 2014 Artadia Award, and the MacDowell Fellowship. She was an artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and at the Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University. Kim has exhibited her work at the Henry Art Gallery - University of Washington, Seattle, WA; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, MA; Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, New York, NY; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA; Tufts University Art Gallery, Medford, MA; Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore, Saratoga Springs, NY among others. Kim is Associate Professor of Art at Boston University and is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
