Kim Kim Gallery is a contemporary art gallery run by Gregory Maass & Nayoungim, a German-Korean artist duo. The Gallery was founded at the Market Gallery[1] in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2008.[2] It describes itself as "a non-profit organization, locative art,[3] an art dealership based on unconventional marketing, a curatorial approach, an exhibition design firm,[4] and editor of rare artist books,[5] depending on the situation it adapts to; in short, it does not fit the format imposed by the term Gallery".Clemens Krümmel[6] writes, "This begins with the excess of dis-identificatory self-reference in creative dialogue with the institution Kim Kim Gallery, along with corporate identity and advertising products and a mania borrowed from Martin Kippenberger for 'great' work or exhibition titles".[7]

KKG has gained international recognition through their projects, including, among others: Douglasism[8] at the international Art Fair, Art:Gwangju:12 in Korea[9] the solo exhibition "Apple vs. Banana"[10] of Chung Seo-young, voted one of the best shows in 2011 by the Art in Culture Magazine; and "More of the Best of Firmin Graf Salawàr dej Striës" by Jeff Gabel, exhibiting new large scale site-specific drawings on canvas rendered in pencil. KKG contributed as exhibition designer to the Daegu Photo Biennial special exhibition in 2012.[11]

"Douglasism",[12] [13] [14] [15] a festival which took place in Seoul in October–November 2013, centered on the works of British artist Douglas Park[16] [17] [18] [19] [20] ,[21] in collaboration with Komplot Brussels,[22] Trinity ∴[23] and FLACC.[24]
