## Resource

On this episode of the Friday Heaters Podcast, we sit down with Kibum Kim, co-director of Commonwealth and Council in Koreatown, Los Angeles. Fresh off Art Basel Miami, Kibum reflected on the fair and larger questions in the contemporary art industry. We discussed the challenges of presenting complex artwork in today’s attention economy, the role of the gallerists as cultural gatekeepers, and why expanding the art world shouldn’t mean simplifying it. Alongside co-director Young Chung, Kibum has built Commonwealth and Council around community, solidarity, and equitable artist support — including the Council Fund, which redirects traditional collector discounts toward artist-driven support. Enjoy the heat🔥
