Since 2015, Kyung-Me (b. 1991, lives and works in New York, NY) has explored the architectural structures of the subconscious and the ways in which images, objects and memory are intertwined to conjure complex and spiritual spaces. Working predominantly in ink, Kyung-Me creates drawings of labyrinthine spaces that trace the alluring and malevolent nature of entrapment frameworks. The invisible architecture of entrapment—from the familial and societal to the spiritual and psychological—piques her interest.
Kyung-Me graduated from the Yale School of Art with an MFA in 2018. Her work has been collected by the Whitney Museum of Art, Baltimore Museum of Art and Magasin III. Recent and upcoming shows include: “I, Sunflower”, Bureau, New York, NY (2026); “Sister”, Bureau, New York, NY (2022); “Introverse: Allegory Today”, 80WSE, New York, NY (2022); “Liminal Spaces”, Kraupa-Tuskany Zeidler, Berlin, 2019; “Coniunctio” with Harry Gould Harvey IV, Bureau, New York, NY (2019); “Poor Thing” with Sydney Shen, Hotel Art Pavilion, Brooklyn (2018); “Copy Kitty”, Selena Gallery, Brooklyn (2017); and “Bad Korean”, 17 Essex Gallery, New York, (2016).
She is the author of two books, Copy Kitty, published by 2dCloud (2020) and Bad Korean, published by Spaceface Books (2016). She also teaches undergraduate and graduate students at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Pacific Northwest College of the Arts.
