She has organized works for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, acted as a fellow at both the Rockefeller Foundation and the Getty Research Institute, and is the author of multiple publications. Los Angeles-based artist Kori Newkirk makes multimedia paintings, sculptural installations, and photographs that explore the formal properties of materials, the politics of identity, and the artist's personal history. Newkirk has had solo exhibitions at a number of museums, including the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York; the Pasadena Museum of California Art; LA
