Kathy Clark
Kathy Clark is an artist and curator who has lived and worked in Reykjavík since 2005. Her sculptures and mixed-media installations draw upon fantasy, storytelling, and symbolism to explore the invisible worlds that intersect with our inner and outer landscapes. Through immersive and narrative-driven works, she invites viewers into spaces where memory, imagination, and lived experience converge.
Her recent work examines personal and intergenerational histories, addressing the hardships, displacement, and discrimination experienced by her Korean grandmother, mother, and herself. Through this lens, Clark reconsiders family narratives from a contemporary perspective. While engaging with complex and often difficult subject matter, her work embraces poetic, hopeful, and at times playful approaches that reveal resilience, connection, and transformation.
Clark has exhibited extensively in Iceland and abroad, with solo and group exhibitions at institutions including the Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarborg Centre of Culture and Fine Art, Gerðarsafn Art Museum, and the Reykjavík Arts Festival, as well as galleries and cultural venues in California, where she previously lived. Her work is held in private collections throughout Iceland and the United States.
In addition to her artistic practice, Clark was the curator and founder of Wind and Weather Window Gallery in Reykjavík from 2012 to 2021. The gallery presented site-specific installations by local artists, transforming a street-facing window into an accessible exhibition space for contemporary art.
