KITTREDGE/WILSON LECTURE – FAY KU
Thursday, April 21
Fay Ku is a Taiwanese-born, Brooklyn-based artist whose surreal poetic works reference myths, fairytales, and cultural histories. With meticulous detail and impeccable draftsmanship, Ku creates fantastical worlds that recall dreams, nightmares, and childhood fears and fantasies. Ku is the recipient of a 2007 Louis Comfort Tiffany Grant and the 2009 New York Foundation for the Arts fellowship grant. She has exhibited extensively, including in solo exhibitions at the Honolulu Museum of Art, New Britain Museum of American Art, and the Snite Museum of Art. She received her MFA from Pratt Institute and has participated in several residencies at art institutions, including the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Lower East Side Printshop, and the Tamarind Institute. The Museum recently added Ku’s lithograph, Sea Change, to its collection.
