Introducing Haeju Kim: Curatorial Team of the 9th Asian Art Biennial
Continuing our introduction of the curatorial team for the 9th Asian Art Biennial, we now highlight Haeju Kim, a Senior Curator at the Singapore Art Museum whose work delves into themes of memory, migration, and coexistence.
Kim’s curatorial approach emphasizes the consideration of the body, time, and memory as key elements. She is currently pursuing research and curatorial projects that explore diverse topics such as migration, archives, language, ecological perspectives, and the interplay between locality and its global connections.
Prior to joining SAM, Kim served as the Artistic Director of the Busan Biennale 2022, “We, on the Rising Wave,” and was the Deputy Director at Art Sonje Center from 2017 to 2021. At Art Sonje Center, Kim curated exhibitions including “Dust, Clay, Stone” (2020), “Night Turns to Day” (2020), and “The Island of the Colorblind” (2019), as well as solo exhibitions of Koki Tanaka (2020), Hwayeon Nam (2020), Donghee Koo (2019), and Lee Kit (2019).
In 2022, she curated two solo exhibitions by Shitamichi Motoyuki and Manon de Boer at Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark. Her other projects include “Moving / Image,” a three-chapter exhibition and performance program presented at Seoul Art Space Mullae (2016), Arko Art Center (2017), and SeMA ‘This Event’ (2020).
Join the Conversation
To have the possibility to hear and discuss with the individuals behind biennials has been a key component of what we believe IBA can offer to our members and the wider public and we value your participation through our live streams. As always IBA Stage events are meant as a moment to hear about a project through its makers and have the opportunity to participate in a Q&A session at the end of the presentation.
