** EXHIBITION EXTENDED! CHRISTINE SUN KIM: ALL DAY ALL NIGHT NOW ON VIEW AT THE WHITNEY MUSEUM THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2025
————————————————————
New York, NY, June 11, 2025 — The Whitney Museum of American Art is pleased to announce the extension of Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=cf803bb28f&e=59415c6e7e), the artist’s first major museum survey. The exhibition will remain on view through September 2025, with closing dates for individual galleries listed below:
* Floor 8: Closes September 21, 2025
* Floor 3: Closes September 28, 2025
* Floor 1: Closes September 28, 2025
Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night is co-organized by the Whitney Museum and Walker Art Center, the exhibition foregrounds how Christine Sun Kim (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=2bb500dab4&e=59415c6e7e) (b. 1980, Orange County, California; lives and works in Berlin, Germany) utilizes sound, language, and the complexities of communication in her wide-ranging approach to artmaking. All Day All Night brings together over 90 artworks spanning 2011 to the present across three floors of the Museum and features drawings, site-specific murals, paintings, video installations, and sculptures.
Using musical notation, infographics, and language—both in her native American Sign Language (ASL) and written English—Kim has produced a perceptive, poetic, humorous, and political body of work. In her artwork, activism, and public voice, Kim confronts the systemic marginalization of the Deaf community and subordination of access while celebrating the importance of community and family. Inspired by similarly named works made at different moments in her career, the exhibition’s title, All Day All Night, points to the energy Kim brings to her artistic practice; she is relentlessly experimental, iterative, and dedicated to sharing her lived experiences with a broad spectrum of audiences.
This mid-career survey builds on the artist and the Whitney’s sustained relationship. Between 2007 and 2014, Kim was an educator, and later, a consultant, for the Museum, where she helped to establish Whitney Signs (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=d27fba48f2&e=59415c6e7e), an ongoing program that offers tours in ASL led by Deaf educators, and ASL-led vlogs. She returned to the Whitney in 2018 to present the public art installation Too Much Future (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=14b6d78494&e=59415c6e7e), her first large-scale mural, and in 2019, she was featured in the Whitney Biennial (https://whitney.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=387f59a72ae7b64ccae37d5c9&id=ae30186f47&e=59415c6e7e) .
“The exhibition invites viewers to reconsider the importance placed on sound,” said Jennie Goldstein, Jennifer Rubio Associate Curator of the Collection at the Whitney Museum. “It encourages us to consider the diversity and richness of Deaf culture and the complexities of identity more broadly, in relation to artistic collaboration, parenthood, immigration, or diasporic experience.”
“When you sign All Day All Night, you almost make a circle in the air,” Kim said. “For me, having started at the Whitney as an educator and coming back as an artist, it’s a full circle moment.”

** ABOUT THE WHITNEY
————————————————————
The Whitney Museum of American Art, founded in 1930 by the artist and philanthropist Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney (1875–1942), houses the foremost collection of American art from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Mrs. Whitney, an early and ardent supporter of modern American art, nurtured groundbreaking artists when audiences were still largely preoccupied with the Old Masters. From her vision arose the Whitney Museum of American Art, which has been championing the most innovative art of the United States for ninety years. The core of the Whitney’s mission is to collect, preserve, interpret, and exhibit American art of our time and serve a wide variety of audiences in celebration of the complexity and diversity of art and culture in the United States. Through this mission and a steadfast commitment to artists, the Whitney has long been a powerful force in support of modern and contemporary art and continues to help define what is innovative and influential in American art today.
Whitney Museum Land Acknowledgment
The Whitney is located in Lenapehoking, the ancestral homeland of the Lenape. The name Manhattan comes from their word Mannahatta, meaning “island of many hills.” The Museum’s current site is close to land that was a Lenape fishing and planting site called Sapponckanikan (“tobacco field”). The Whitney acknowledges the displacement of this region’s original inhabitants and the Lenape diaspora that exists today.
As a museum of American art in a city with vital and diverse communities of Indigenous people, the Whitney recognizes the historical exclusion of Indigenous artists from its collection and program. The Museum is committed to addressing these erasures and honoring the perspectives of Indigenous artists and communities as we work for a more equitable future.
