People of the Otherworld: Ken Kiff in Dialogue

By Alfred Mac Adam

JULY/AUG 2023 | ArtSeen

Curated by Kathy Battista, People of the Otherworld introduces Ken Kiff’s work to a New York audience unaware of his existence. This it accomplishes in grand style by amassing twenty works produced between the 1960s and 1990s.
