Joeun Kim Aatchim (b. South Korea) is a painter and multimedia artist based in New York City. Wordsmith and multi-hyphenate artist Joeun Kim Aatchim is a prodigious diarist. For over a decade and across many seasons, she’s used iPhone memos and handwritten notes to catalog her adult life: familial traumas, reconciliations, developments in her English second language, and ongoing negotiations as a South Korean immigrant. Aatchim’s insistence upon play speaks to her reverence of drafts–the intermediate and indeterminate stages in her practice. Aatchim received her BFA from New York University, as well as her MFA from Columbia University. Recent solo exhibitions include François Ghebaly in New York (2022); Make Room in Los Angeles (2022); Harper’s in East Hampton (2021); and Vacation Gallery in New York (2019). Recent group exhibitions include Jeffrey Deitch, New York (2022); Harper’s, New York (2022); Make Room, Los Angeles (2021); and The Drawing Center, New York (2019). Aatchim has received fellowships at Yaddo (2023), Triangle Art Association (2021); Foundation for Contemporary Arts (2019); The Drawing Center (2018-20); Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture (2017). You can view more of her work at François Ghebaly Gallery or on her website.
