Half Memory, Twice Remembered: Korean Artists from the Yale School of Art
July 9 – 24, 2026
Opening reception: Thursday, July 9, 6-8pm
525 West 21st Street, NYC

Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to present Half Memory, Twice Remembered: Korean Artists from the Yale School of Art, a group exhibition bringing together fourteen current students and recent alumni from the Yale School of Art. Featuring artists working across painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, and graphic design, the exhibition celebrates a self-organized community connected through shared cultural ties while reflecting the breadth of contemporary practice emerging from one of the leading MFA programs in the United States. Hosted at and co-organized with Tina Kim Gallery, the exhibition also recognizes the gallery’s longstanding commitment to supporting emerging artists from Korea and its diasporas.

The exhibition takes its title from a work by participating artist Su Ji Kim. Half Memory, Twice Remembered evokes the shifting, layered relationship between memory, language, and inheritance that quietly informs many of the practices on view. Moving between personal narrative and collective history, the works engage questions of identity, place, and belonging through both representation and material practice, tracing the ways cultural memory is carried, transformed, and reimagined across generations and geographies.

Participating artists include Claire Chey, Young Grace Cho, Yuna Cho, Grace Han, David Jung, Heejae Kim, Jeewon Kim, Namyoung Kim, Su Ji Kim, Haejin Park, Youngjin Park, Sok Song, Jam Yoo, and Allison Yoon.

They warmly welcome you to the opening reception on Thursday, July 9, from 6-8pm.
