Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night is the artist’s first major museum survey. Co-organized by the Walker Art Center and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, the exhibition foregrounds how Christine Sun Kim (US, b. 1980, Orange County, California; lives and works in Berlin) utilizes sound, language, and the complexities of communication in her wide-ranging approach to art-making. All Day All Night brings together works spanning 2011 to the present and features drawings, site-specific murals, paintings, video installations, and sculptures. Using musical notation, infographics, and language—both in her native American Sign Language (ASL) and written English—Kim has produced a body of work that is perceptive, poetic, humorous, and political. Inspired by similarly named works made at different moments in her career, the exhibition’s title points to the energy Kim brings to her artistic practice; she is relentlessly experimental, iterative, and dedicated to sharing her lived experiences with a broad spectrum of audiences.
