Kimberlee Koym-Murteira

Using water, video, and mason jars, Kimberlee creates studies of embodiment.  From small sculptures to large scale video projection machines she uses light, water, and movement to reflect people and energy.  They mark intersections with technology and the everyday, somatic resonance and connections between the virtual and physical; pathways between the environment and people.  Kimberlee grew up in San Antonio,Texas and has happily called Northern California home for most of the last 20 years. She earned her MFA from Mills College, Oakland, CA and MA in Scenography from Central St. Martins, London. She teaches new media art at Diablo Valley College and California College for the Arts.

In Northern California, she has shown her work at the Museums of Sonoma, Kala Art Institute, Jen Tough Gallery, Shoebox PR, Gearbox Gallery, the Zero 1 Bienniale, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Mission 17, Sonoma State University, Invisible Venue, and The Lab.  She has been awarded a residency grants by Lugar Comum in Lisbon, Portugal and Kala Institute in Berkeley, CA. Nationally she participated in shows at Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Arts in Florida and Beecher Center for Technology in the Arts in Ohio.  In Europe, her work has been shown at the Biennial of Mediterranean Young Artist in Saravejo, Bosnia, Porto 2000 Capital of Culture, Cultural Center Malaposta, Gallery ZDB, and ‘Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin.’
