Public Programs

Kaili Chun is a sculptor and installation artist based in Hawaii. Her works address ideas of containment and exposure, agency and restraint.  Process and materials transform physical spaces into unique environments commenting on contemporary issues in her work.  She often constructs narratives through symbols and objects that address the impact of historical events on the present day.  Organic elements are sometimes included in her pieces, and the changes they undergo during the course of an exhibition metaphorically reference the nature of culture as an evolutionary process.
