kimberly mayhorn

Selected by Essence magazine as "30 Women to Watch", Kimberly Mayhorn is an Emmy nominated editor and multi-disciplinary artist whose works encompasses installation, sculpture, video, sound and performance. Mayhorn's work attempts to extract and synthesize fragments of the physical, the uneasy movement of bodies through space to explore class, identity, racialization and economic polarization. Recently her artwork has moved towards assemblage and objected based sculptural work often charged with tension between objects and materials occupying the same space. Kimberly has participated in artist residences such as Atlantic Center for the Arts, with Master Artist Radcliffe Bailey; The University of Chicago CSRPC; Sculpture Space; Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts; HARP (HERE Artist Residency Program); AIM19, The Bronx Museum of the Arts and Emerge, Aljira. Based in Brooklyn, NY, Kimberly completed her B.A. in Radio, Television and Film at Howard University and is a Whitney Museum of American Art, Independent Study Fellow.
