Gallery Talk: Collecting art in North Korea w/ Katherine Zellweger

2012 06 07 gallery-opening iconFeast or Famine features 23 original posters from the Katharina Zellweger Collection. Zellweger collected over 100 posters during her tenure as the director of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation program in Pyongyang from 2006 to 2011. This selection, rarely seen outside of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, centers around issues related to agriculture, animal husbandry, and food production. Created for a domestic audience and produced by government-run studios, the posters were designed to rally the population behind nationally promoted, food-related projects. The posters are original, hand-painted watercolors created to be copied and distributed in public campaigns.
