2022 Online Public Lecture Series 1 <Park Seo-Bo: The Bridges>

Presented by the Korean Cultural Center New York and AHL Foundation

Lecturer: Andrew Russeth (International Art Critic)
Date: Wednesday, June 8, 2022

The lecture presents Park Seo-Bo, artist, teacher, and organizer, who has been an essential force in Korean contemporary art for well more than half a century. Now 90, he is seeing his stature continue to grow, with a panoply of major recent international exhibitions, an acclaimed 2019 retrospective at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul, and plans to open museums focused on his work. The art critic Andrew Russeth (formerly executive editor of ARTnews in New York) charts Park’s sui generis contributions to the Korean art scene, examining not only his bewitching, iconic Dansaekhwa innovations but some of his lesser-known artistic and curatorial activities, which can serve as fertile models for artists who are just starting out today.
