Kyung An, with co-curators, Soojung Kang (Senior Curator, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul), and Joan Kee (Associate Professor of History of Art, University of Michigan), will explore the dynamic experimental artistic practices that emerged in South Korea in the late 1960s and early 1970s as well as the core groups of artists who spearheaded them in preparation for an exhibition in 2021/22.

“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
