Kim Rice and Paul Rucker Critique American History Through
Materiality
From the article:
What conversations could occur, our team wondered, if we paired
the work of Kim Rice and Paul Rucker, two artists who use
specific historical events and documents to offer an unflinching
view of the reality of race in America? The result has been
Liberty and Injustice, a compact but dense exhibit that
examines gun violence, lynching, the role of police,
inheritance, redlining, and white privilage.

This summer, Alex Ebstein interviewed Kim Rice for Inertia.
Studio Visits. His review begins:
Kim Rice is an artist who transforms everyday materials and
personal imagery into intricate, often large-scale installations
that explore systemic racism as it has affected physical
geography and personal history. I met Kim through her residency
at Goucher College as the Unobskey Visiting Artist in Modern and
Contemporary Art and had the pleasure of learning more about her
work and process through conversations both in her studio and on
campus. Her labor-intensive pieces are impeccably crafted,
drawing viewers from across a space with their beauty, and
delivering their critical content on closer approach. I met up
with Kim in her studio at School 33 in Federal Hill to continue
our conversations for Inertia Studio Visits and check in on what
this prolific artist is up to next.

I want to explore whiteness in America because I see it as a missing
piece in the conversation on race. This matters because we cannot
reason about the role the white race plays in our lives until we can
collectively see that it exists. By deconstructing then weaving
ordinary materials my pieces depict the often-unseen impact whiteness
has on our everyday interactions and the ways we move through the
world.
To be white is to see oneself as an individual, normal, universal and
not linked to race. Media, through its oversaturation of the white
image perpetuates this idea of normality, creating a landscape where
the white race remains powerful but no longer visible.
