South Korea exhibit traces 80 years of art ties with Japan
The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, in Gwacheon is hosting "Road movie: Art between Korea and Japan since 1945," an exhibition marking the 60th anniversary of normalized diplomatic relations between South Korea and Japan. Featuring about 200 works by 43 artists and artist teams, the show traces 80 years of artistic exchange since Korea's liberation in 1945, including pieces by Nam June Paik, Lee Ufan, Lee Bul, Takashi Murakami, and others. Jointly organized with the Yokohama Museum of Art, the exhibition first opened in Yokohama late last year, drawing about 37,000 visitors before traveling to South Korea.
