This book seeks to help readers overseas gain a comprehensive understanding of Korean contemporary art by examining its various features and movements. Featured are the artists who have come to represent Korea since the modern concept of art was accepted, especially those active since the major expansion of Korean art overseas in the 2000s. The book also discusses the works of artists preceding that time, and finally the various spaces for Korean contemporary art, including exhibition halls, biennales, and art markets.
Remarkably, while accommodating major religions and traditions of other Asian regions, the country has developed a truly distinct culture and left a lot of treasures recognized by UNESCO.
This book offers an exploration of the lesser-known aspects of this dynamically changing field, starting with a look at the paradigmatic forms of traditional architecture before moving on to examining the issues and currents that have unfolded in architecture as it developed on Korean soil in the era of postmodernism—and began to find its way into the world. By taking a historical approach with the more noteworthy developments in Korean architecture, it seeks to support a new understanding, a rediscovery, of a field in full flux.
