Bio

Kim Faler’s interdisciplinary practice investigates everyday experience and the ways memory, routine, and trust unfold over time. Her work—spanning sculpture, installation, photography, and drawing—transform familiar materials and moments into experiences that ask us to slow down and consider how we inhabit the present. Faler has exhibited widely throughout the United States and internationally, with recent solo exhibitions at PALO Gallery in New York City, the David Winton Bell Gallery at Brown University (Providence, RI), the Beeler Gallery at the Columbus College of Art & Design (Columbus, OH), and Saint Kate Hotel (Milwaukee, WI). She has also realized two site-specific installations at MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA. Her work has garnered numerous awards and residencies, including the Joan Mitchell MFA Grant, a U.S. Fulbright Scholarship (to Brazil), the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Residency (Captiva, FL), the Artpace International Artist-in-Residence Program (San Antonio, TX), and the Kohler Artist/Industry Program (Sheboygan, WI). Faler holds a BFA from Ohio Wesleyan University and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art, and she is represented by PALO Gallery, NYC.
