Sandy Kim. "Untitled," 2015; archival digital photograph; 64 x 43 inches.
“I often think about my photography and what makes it special, what it is that connects my photos, what I do that makes my photos apart of me, what I do that makes me apart of my photos, and one thing kept coming up: I'm short. Height is one of the most important physical traits that shape who we are and how we shape the world. It's something we're born with, something that doesn't change, something we have no control over, yet it will forever define view of the world.”
Ever Gold Gallery is pleased to announce its 3rd solo exhibition with contemporary photographer Sandy Kim. How's The Weather Down There? is a body of new work presented in large scale photographic prints created over the last two years of the artist’s travels through dark, playful, sensual and emotionally charged personal situations of herself and her subjects. This new body of work stays true to her roots, that being influenced by Nan Goldin and Diane Arbus, yet moves towards a dream like state of an unique aesthetic of a jaded youth.
Immersed in San Francisco’s vibrant music scene, Kim gained international exposure for her intimate portraits of the band Girls. Her work has since been featured in publications such as Artforum, Purple Fashion, FADER, New Yorker, New York Times, Vogue Italia, Pitchfork, Nylon, Guardian, Elle,Wired, and Rolling Stone, among many others. She has exhibited at Salon 94, The Hole, Ever Gold Gallery, Mudd Guts, and New Image Art. Kim’s work has also been the subject for multiple books and zines. In 2014 she lectured at the Aperture Foundation, New York.
