Mimi O Chun is an artist whose soft sculptures reveal the ironies and inequities inherent to a late-capitalist economy. She recasts and re-contextualizes iconography borrowed from consumerist culture to create works that vacillate between parody and pastiche. Mimi works primarily in fabric, incorporating finishing techniques such as appliqué and embroidery to render objects in painstaking detail.

Mimi earned her Bachelor of Fine Art from Carnegie Mellon University and her Master of Fine Art from Yale School of Art. Her work has been published by Fast Company, Bon Appétit, White Zinfandel, Gather Journal, Makeshift magazine, and Princeton Architectural Press. Her first solo museum exhibition, Mimi O Chun: It’s all cake, was held at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art from 2021-2022. Mimi lives and works in New York City.
