Editor: Here we have an untitled work by Kim Lim. The simple star-like form is quite minimal, almost hesitant. What do you see in this piece? Curator: Lim's work often challenges the Western art historical narrative. Here, the delicate lines and the subtle shifts invite a slower, more contemplative viewing experience, characteristic of Eastern philosophies that shaped her practice. How does the scale affect your perception? Editor: It feels intimate, like a private thought. I guess it's about challenging the idea of what is considered important or grand in art. Curator: Precisely! This subversion of expectations is key to understanding Lim’s contribution to art history, pushing against established norms and power structures. Editor: I see it so differently now!
