Haines Gallery congratulates Won Ju Lim, who has been named a 2024 Fellow by the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship.
Chosen through a rigorous application and peer review process from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants, the Class of 2024 Guggenheim Fellows was tapped on the basis of prior career achievement and exceptional promise. As established in 1925 by founder Senator Simon Guggenheim, each fellow receives a monetary stipend to pursue independent work at the highest level under “the freest possible conditions.”
Lim's multimedia practice is grounded in the interactions of sculpture and architecture, and revolves around the play of real and fictional spaces in the construction of memory, longing, and fantasy. Recently, Lim has expanded her practice to include filmmaking, combining various avenues of interest — in material objects and immaterial images, in cinema and literature — to a singular point of convergence. Her work was most recently the subject of Castings, a 2023 solo exhibition at Sacramento State University' Lim's work is collected by institutions including the San Jose Museum of Art, CA; Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, Davis, CA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CA; M+ Museum, Hong Kong; and Vancouver Art Gallery, Canada, among others.
