Kim Dickey
Arts/Industry: Foundry, 2005
Kim Dickey explores how we construct environments, both physically and psychologically, while responding to what is natural versus cultural, interior versus exterior. The artist’s intensely assembled, glazed terracotta and porcelain works consist of many thousands of unique, yet seemingly uniform elements.
Dickey’s work has been exhibited in museums such as MASS MoCA (MA), the Everson Museum of Art (NY), the Museum of Arts and Design (NY), and the Contemporary Art Museum, Honolulu (HI), among others. Dickey has created permanent installations at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver (CO), The Lab at Belmar (CO), for the Danish Ministry of Culture (DK), and a commission for the Denver International Airport (CO), in addition to many private site-specific commissions. She has also participated in invitationals in Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. She has had solo shows in New York, Los Angeles, Kansas City, and Denver and has shown with galleries such as Garth Clark, Jack Tilton, Pierogi, White Columns, and Sherry Leedy. Dickey is a professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from Alfred University. Dickey is represented by Robischon Gallery (CO).
