Hoot & Bloom, an exhibition of works from ceramicist MyungJin Kim, highlights a new direction in the artist’s robust oeuvre. Featuring 20 new pieces, the exhibition situates this vital artist within a botanical and spiritual logic of her own. Featuring a foray into lighting (a previously unexplored avenue for her work), Hoot & Bloom seamlessly marries new impulses and examinations with Kim’s signature use of owls as a subject. Channeling Korean culture through traditional artistic practices, Hoot & Bloom represents a vision of ceramic sculpture that is harmonious, fluid, and rooted in historical reverence.
MyungJin Kim was born in South Korea and received her Master of Fine Arts degree at Seoul National University in 2002, after which she moved to Los Angeles and made her home and studio in San Pedro. Her ceramic art can be found in the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, OR, The Pizzuti Collection in the Columbus Museum of Art, The Resnick Collection in Los Angeles, The Archie Bray Foundation Collection in Helena, Montana. As well her work can be found in numerous private collections in the United States and Europe.

About
The Future Perfect
The Future Perfect was founded by David Alhadeff in 2003 and has become one of the world’s foremost contemporary design galleries. From its inception, The Future Perfect has been distinguished by its thoroughly creative and ebullient vision and strong curatorial focus, which showcases studio-created works alongside one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces. In its 17-year history, the gallery, as its name implies, has introduced some of the seminal design talents of our times, including highly-collectible works by Lindsey Adelman, Jason Miller, and Piet Hein Eek. Considered a catalyst as well as an industry authority, The Future Perfect has also forged relationships with some of the world’s most influential artists, designers, and craftspeople. Today, The Future Perfect’s prestigious gallery program is tailored to its unique locations in North America: The original flagship in New York’s NoHo, a new Casa on Manhattan’s West Side; The Complex, in San Francisco; and Casa Perfect, in Beverly Hills, CA. By design, each space offers a highly customized environment that includes exclusive exhibitions from cutting edge contemporary artists complemented by an eclectic mix of contemporary production and gallery pieces, all of which can be discovered under one roof.
