From winning gold at the Winter Olympics to hosting November's G-20 summit, Korea has emerged as a vibrant leader in sports, policy and the arts. The Korea Society celebrates the run-up to the G-20 by showcasing new artists from Northeast Asia in an exhibition of their latest works. New York residents all, these young visionaries share their images of the City, reflecting on the challenges of urbanization and the search for the contemplative. With styles distinctly Asian and cosmopolitan, Hao Chang, Maki Teshima, and Zola Nyambuu explore the image in modern society, recollecting the work of late contemporary great and Korean-born artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006), whom the exhibition honors.
