Established in 2014 by Susan Baik and presented across its spaces in Los Angeles and Seoul, Baik Art displays an international roster of artists with works that mainly focus on individual hybridity, globalisation, and cultural diaspora. Reflective of this global outlook, the gallery has also established a nomadic residency program that nurtures the sharing of ideas and visual language between art world collaborators, with its many iterations taking place in cities such as Seoul, Jogja, Mexico City and Los Angeles.

Exhibitions and fairs
Artist talks and other conversational opportunities are regularly hosted by the gallery. The gallery also collaborates on exhibitions with other venues in Los Angeles and overseas.
