Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s

Sep 8, 2023

Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s, will examine the groundbreaking and genre-defying body of artistic production from an era of remarkable transformation in South Korea. Created by young artists who came of age in the decades immediately following the Korean War, the artworks reflect and respond to the changing socio-economic and material conditions that were shaped by a tumultuous political landscape at home and a globalizing world beyond. This will be the first North American museum exhibition dedicated to Korean Experimental art (silheom misul) and its artists, whose radical approach to materials and processes resulted in some of the most significant avant-garde practices of the twentieth century.

구겐하임미술관 뉴욕에서 열린 기획전 《Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s》은 한국의 혁신적이고 장르를 뛰어넘는 예술 작품들을 조명한다. 한국전쟁 이후 성년이 된 젊은 예술가들에 의해 창작된 이 작품들은 격동하는 한국 내 정치적 상황과 글로벌화되는 세계에 의해 형성된 변화하는 경제 및 물질적 조건을 반영하고 이에 대응한다. 물질과 과정에 대한 급진적인 접근으로 20세기의 가장 중요한 아방가르드 예술의 일환으로 나타난 한국 실험미술과 그 예술가들에게 집중된 북미의 첫 번째 미술관 전시다.
