== Biography ==
Kum was born in Auckland in 1968. She gained a BFA from the [[Elam School of Fine Arts]] in 1992. In the same year, Kum was a founding member of Teststrip, an artist-run gallery for contemporary and experimental art.<ref name=":0"></ref>
Teststrip, Auckland's first artist-run gallery, was founded by Lucy MacDonald, [[Merylyn Tweedie]], [[Giovanni Intra]], Malone, [[Judy Darragh]], Gail Haffern, Kirsty Cameron and Kum. The space was initially set up to provide the founding artists with a venue for showing their work. Teststrip recieved a small grant from [[Creative New Zealand]] in 1995, which enabled the move to a new space on [[Karangahape Road|Karangahape Rd]] and employment of a paid administrator. Teststrip began connecting with networks of similar galleries overseas, and their international advisory board included Lilian Budd, [[Kathy Temin]], [[Mikala Dwyer]] and [[Harmony Korine]]. The decision was made to close Teststrip in 1998 resulted from a desire to finish "cleanly and strongly, rather than peter out or recruit." Teststrips micrograph publishing project continued working after the gallery closed.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
