Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Kathleen King is a San Francisco Bay Area–based artist working in sculpture, assemblage, and installation, using materials gathered from the waste stream. Her practice draws from the ethos of urban streets—from construction sites to encampments—reflecting states of coexistence, contingency, and control. By repurposing what has been discarded, King agitates new meanings from the remnants of contemporary life. This work challenges viewers to consider abandonment as both a material and spiritual condition, and to reflect on the pursuit of satisfaction—its entanglement with consumption and its link to global climate catastrophe.
