DeepPond Kim is originally from South Korea and obtained an MFA in painting from Pratt Institute, and a BFA from Sungshin Women’s University. She has an upcoming solo exhibition at Ki Smith Gallery, had a solo booth at the SPRING/BREAK Art Fair 2022 NYC, and group shows at Space 776 and Equity Gallery, LES, “B” Dry Goods, Brooklyn. Kim also participated in the Governor’s Island Art Fair 2019. She received the 1st AHL Foundation Artist Fellowship and was selected as one of the top 8 finalists worldwide for the MTV RE: DEFINE Award.

DeepPond’s work has an eerie disturbing quality that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, between humor and horror. All of her work awakens self-awareness and questions the authenticity and the limitations of established social structures. Her work reflects a subtle sense of anxiety, where she turns the world upside down, twisting what's familiar into a web of ironic, disturbing, and amusing emotions, inviting people into her alternate universe.

She has also presented performances at Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival, Gwangju International Performance Art Festival, Korea, OPEN SPACE “Survival” Festival Berlin, Gallery Stiftelsen 3,14 Bergen, Norway, L´MONO Bilbao, Spain, Platform Vaasa, Finland, and Livery Gallery, Marseilles, France.
