Yuni Kim Lang

Born in Seoul, Korea, in 1986, Yuni Kim Lang received an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA from Parsons School of Design. Lang is a Michigan-based visual artist who creates sculptures, photographs, and wearable art that explores themes of weight, mass, accumulation, hair, and cultural identity. She creates sculptures out of rope and synthetic materials which transcend their materiality. She is fascinated by what people give power and meaning to, along with our obsession with adornment.

In 2018, Lang will had a two-person show at the Curfman gallery at Colorado State University. She has had solo exhibitions at the Frost Art Museum in Miami, FL, and at Sienna Gallery in Lenox, MA. She has shown at the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Sheboygan, WI; Collective 2 Design Art Fair in New York, NY; and internationally at Galerie Marzee, Nijmegen, Netherlands. Lang will be at John Michael Kohler Arts Center for the Arts/Industry residency program in 2018. She completed a residency at Red Gate Gallery, Beijing, China, and received a Meritbased Scholarship for her residency at the Vermont Studio Center, Johnson, VT.
