Connected as Kim Holleman (1208 friends)

Kim Holleman is a Brooklyn-based Interdisciplinary artist who attended The Cooper Union for The Advancement of Science and Art in New York and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, Holland.

Because of Kim’s unique blending of art, architecture and nature, she has gained recognition across disciplines. Her award-winning work, Trailer Park: A Mobile Public Park debuted at The Storefront for Art and Architecture on Lt. Petrosino Square (‘06), Foley Square-The Supreme Court The Living Room (‘08) and The Cooper Union, Rites of Passage (‘10), as well as multiple galleries, events and conference locations in New York. Holleman was a finalist in the international ONE Prize interdisciplinary architectural competition and has recently had the honor of presenting her work at the recent TEDx conference at The Cooper Union.

Holleman’s first solo show in NY, Law of the Land was chosen Best In Show by R.C. Baker in The Village Voice and was reviewed again in further depth in The Village Voice’s art section by Alan Gilbert. Holleman won the first Artist’s Wanted Competition that same year. The opening event for Holleman’s second solo show in NY, Circa: 2012 recorded a record breaking 1,000 people in attendance and was selected by Papermag as the Word of Mouth show to see that week along with After Nature at The New Museum for Contemporary Art.

Holleman’s work has been featured in The NY Times, The Metro, Next American City Magazine and L-Magazine, to name a few. Kim opened two solo shows in 2011 at Work and SLC Gallery. Her upcoming projects for the summer of 2012 include a large-scale work of public art for FIGMENT on Governor’s Island.

Kim is also entering two passion projects for Bushwick Open Studios 2012. Holleman is organizing the first opening of Myrtle Avenue Studios that she helped develop, and where she maintains her studio. Also debuting at BOS2012 is Holleman’s recent creative alliance with North Brooklyn Collective located at Flushing and Knickerbocker Avenues in Bushwick, where the Trailer Park has been re-contextualized as an indoor work of public art, now residing inside the storefront at North Brooklyn Collective’s main-space.
