kindpieces

Kindpieces is a contemporary art collective based in New York City, founded in 2010 by artists and designers Emily Kame Kng and Michael Arrington. The collective is known for its interdisciplinary approach, blending elements of sculpture, installation, and performance art with digital media and technology. Kindpieces' work often explores themes of identity, community, and the intersection of the physical and digital worlds.

The collective's early works, such as "The Kindness Project" (2010), involved creating and distributing small, handmade sculptures to strangers in public spaces, encouraging acts of kindness and fostering a sense of community. This project gained significant attention and was featured in various art publications and exhibitions.

Kindpieces has since expanded its practice to include large-scale installations and public art projects. Their work often incorporates found objects, 3D printing, and custom software, creating unique and thought-provoking pieces that engage viewers in both the physical and digital realms. The collective has exhibited internationally, with notable shows at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and the Serpentine Galleries in London.

In addition to their artistic endeavors, Kindpieces is also committed to education and community engagement. They have conducted workshops and lectures at universities and art institutions, sharing their creative process and encouraging others to explore the intersection of art and technology. The collective continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art, creating thought-provoking and innovative works that resonate with audiences worldwide.
