Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night
Tickets & Info
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.
This exhibition catalogue is available for free as a digital braille and an audio book with visual descriptions. Please use the buttons below to download copies of these versions.
The exhibition is accompanied by a major monograph copublished by the Walker Art Center and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Offering the most comprehensive overview of Christine Sun Kim’s work to date, the catalogue surveys her practice across painting, sculpture, drawing, moving image, performance, large-scale murals, and collaborations with other artists made between 2011 and 2024.
The volume includes an interview between Kim and exhibition curators Tom Finkelpearl (independent curator and writer), Jennie Goldstein (Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator of the Collection, Whitney Museum of American Art), and Pavel S. Pyś (Curator of Visual Arts and Collections Strategy, Walker Art Center); scholarly contributions by Seth Kim-Cohen (Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago), Jeffrey Yasuo Mansfield (Principal, MASS Design Group and Director of MASS Deaf Space and Disability Justice Lab), and Park McArthur (artist); and an intimate artist timeline compiled by Kim, with Brandon Eng (Curatorial Assistant, Walker Art Center) and Rose Pallone (Curatorial Assistant, Whitney Museum of American Art). A substantial plate section follows these enriching text contributions. Forthcoming in 2025.
