Kim Ye (all pronouns, b, 1984 Beijing, China) is a Chinese American multi-disciplinary artist whose research based practice encompasses performance, sculpture, video, installation, text, and social engagement. Her work interrogates gendered constructions around power, labor, and taboo by creating moments of authenticity, intimacy and exchange between artist and viewer. Remixing appropriated forms from mainstream culture with media from personal archives, the work seeks to describe the entanglement between private spaces of desire and fantasy, and collective movements in discourse and ideology. She is the instructor for this course.
