South Korean artist Ayoung Kim is set to present her first major solo exhibition in the United States at MoMA PS1 in New York. Running from November 6, 2025, to March 16, 2026, the exhibition will feature a comprehensive selection of her most significant works, including her latest projects, highlighting her innovative approach to contemporary art.
MoMA PS1, renowned for showcasing experimental and boundary-pushing art, has previously hosted exhibitions by prominent figures such as Mike Kelly, Anne Imhof, and Niki de Saint Phalle. The upcoming exhibition, curated by Ruba Katrib, Senior Curator at MoMA PS1, will occupy the museum’s expansive third-floor galleries, a space dedicated to large-scale installations and groundbreaking solo exhibitions.
Kim has gained international recognition for her multidisciplinary practice, which integrates video, installation, and text-based works to explore themes of history, geopolitics, and technology. Her previous projects have been exhibited at prestigious institutions and biennales worldwide, earning her a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking artists of her generation.

This exhibition will provide an in-depth look at Kim’s artistic evolution, presenting key works that span her career. The selection includes her critically acclaimed series that investigate historical narratives through speculative fiction, as well as newly developed pieces that further push the boundaries of storytelling and visual language.
MoMA PS1’s commitment to fostering experimental artistic voices makes it a fitting venue for Kim’s first major U.S. exhibition. The museum has a long-standing history of introducing pioneering artists to broader audiences, and Kim’s practice aligns seamlessly with its mission of challenging conventional perspectives and redefining contemporary art discourse.
A key aspect of the exhibition is its immersive nature, where visitors will engage with Kim’s work through a combination of visual, auditory, and textual elements. The integration of cutting-edge digital media within her installations will offer an interactive experience, reflecting her ongoing exploration of technology’s role in shaping human perception and memory.
