Collections, Scenes of the Era

"Collection, Scenes of the Era" selects 70 works from the Arko Museum of Art's collection to shed light on the significance and value of the collection within the major currents of Korean contemporary art and the museum's exhibition history. Following the works of 60 artists who participated in Arko Museum exhibitions from the 1970s to the 2000s, the exhibition re-examines the diverse trends in Korean contemporary art and the artistic achievements of the artists during that period. Archival materials illustrating the artists' activities and the museum's exhibition history are displayed alongside the artworks. Furthermore, the findings of collection research conducted by external researchers specifically for this exhibition are added to unfold a multi-layered narrative of Korean contemporary art.
