The show, in media as diverse as collage, paintings, printmaking, drawing, film and installation, is an overview of contemporary art from two cultures. It draws on a starting point which is not defined by notions of cultural identity. Instead, it explores human, social and geographical experience in the context of a global culture.

Korean artists represented are

  • Kim Si-Yeon (김시연) (image above)
  • Park Hee-seop (박희섭)
  • Byun Jae-eon (변재언)
  • Lee Myoung-jin (이명진)
  • Lee Seung-ah (이승아)
  • Lee Joong-keun (이중근)
  • Jang Hee-Jeong (장희정) and
  • Hong Soon-Myeong (홍순명)
