Cambridge-based artist Lucy Kim’s work explores the sometimes uncomfortable spaces between the natural and artificial. In this conversation, learn about Kim’s piece Dr. Melissa Doft, Plastic Surgeon 1, featured in the exhibition Portraits from the ICA Collection. 

Kim will be joined by Erika Umali, ICA Curator of Collections and the curator of Portraits from the ICA Collection, for a discussion about Kim’s sculptural portraits and how they offer an unsettling meditation on our fragile, mutable physical states. 

Portraits from the ICA Collection is organized by Erika Umali, Curator of Collections.

This exhibition is funded, in part, with support from Leadership in Arts Museums, an initiative to create more racial equity in art museum leadership, supported by the Ford Foundation, Mellon Foundation, Pilot House Philanthropy, and Alice L. Walton Foundation.
