Good Evening, Ms. Jiyoon Lee!
11-Mar-08
Matthew Jackson reports from last Thursday's gallery talk at the KCC
I had assumed that the Nam June Paik talk by Jiyoon Lee would take the form of a tour around the gallery itself. The schedule of the evening was fuller than I had expected, and required the setting of the 'Sejong Room' on the basement level, newly fitted out with lecture-room tables and an LG flat screen TV of considerable proportions.

Lecture by Jim Hoare and Jiyoon Lee
Monday 11 December at Asia House 6.45-7.45pm
The current exhibition at Asia House is producing much food for thought. This is now the third post devoted to the exhibition and is unlikely to be the last. In an evening of two halves on Monday night, Jim Hoare, BAKS president and the UK's first chargé d'affaires in Pyongyang, gave a lucid overview of the history of the DPRK and engagement with the South; while Jiyoon Lee, curator of the exhibition, followed with a discussion of post-division South Korean art.
Hoare's presentation was compelling, and he held the audience's attention absolutely. He finished his talk with some photos from ...
