A lavishly illustrated overview of contemporary Korean art that
offers new insight into the country’s tumultuous modern history
and its multifaceted and vibrant art scene Focusing on the work of
33 artists, this volume examines the ways contemporary Korean art
reflects the dynamic changes in the country following the 1980
Gwangju Uprising and 1988 Seoul Olympics, when a newly democratic
South Korea opened up to the rest of the world and quickly became a
key player, both economically and culturally, on the global stage.
Among the works featured are complex installations by Do Ho Suh and
siren eun young jung; sculptures made from disparate materials by
Yeesookyung; embroideries that engage with fraught political issues
via covert transactions with embroiderers in North Korea by Kyungah
Ham; and paintings of contemporary pop figures made using
traditional East Asian techniques by Donghyun Son. Essays by a
diverse group of scholars position the works in their historical
and sociopolitical contexts within the accelerated timeline—and
resulting compression of past, present, and future—of what has
been called Korea’s long twenty-first century. With artist
biographies, an illustrated chronology, and a selected
bibliography, this study is the first English-language presentation
of this material and is a significant contribution to the
interpretation and understanding of contemporary Korean art and
culture. Â Distributed for the Philadelphia Museum of Art
