[Exhibition] Connecting Bodies: Asian Women Artists

This exhibition is one of the best this year, acclaimed by many art critics and experts who visited Korea for Frieze and Kiaf. I'm thrilled to organize an event before the year ends!

Let's explore the themes of body, women, and Asia.

“Connecting Bodies: Asian Women Artists attempts a new examination of the contemporary meaning of post‒1960s art by Asian women from the perspective of ‘corporeality.’ It was developed as part of an Asian art project by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA), which has carried out comparative research and exhibitions on Asian contemporary art beyond national borders. The body is a place where various ideologies and situations intersect, and it is also a locus that reveals difference and diversity. This exhibition assembles around 130 works by women artists from 11 Asian countries to explore this theme.

The exhibition also turns its attention to long-existing aspects of women’s culture, which has sought to understand thought/sensation and art/life in integrated ways. In this way, it attempts to discover artistic possibilities for encouraging ‘connections’ with those beyond us. At a historical moment when social sustainability is in doubt and a reappraisal of values is fundamentally needed, the feminist perspective‒transcending binary divisions of subject/object, culture/nature, and male/female‒can perhaps help us imagine an alternative world that embraces and connects a broader scope of being and identity.”
