Biography

Gala Porras-Kim is the daughter of academics. Her father, a literature professor from Colombia, met her mother, who is South Korean, while she was studying literature in Bogotá. As a child, they often brought her with them to museums, archives, and research sites.

Gala Porras-Kim's research-based practice spans drawing, sculpture, and installation. Through research and art-making, she often questions the role of museums and heritage institutions in defining and assigning meaning to cultural artefacts. She is especially interested in why and how the definitions of art and objects change when they enter different spaces, as well as how objects have the potential to change the spaces they inhabit. Much of her work deals with time, and the way the perception of objects changes over time, while considering the original sacred function of cultural artefacts and how they are represented in the present.

She uses a social and political context that influences the representation of language and history to create art objects through the learning process. In 2023, her work National Treasures was featured at Leeum.

As a scholar at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University, Porras-Kim researched objects from archeological sites in Mexico. Her work as artist-in-residence at the Getty Center investigates "social and political contexts that influence how language and history intersect with art." In March 2022, Porras-Kim was featured on the cover of Artforum for her work at Amant in New York.
