Gallery Talks
Join The Korea Society and The Architectural League of New York for an opening reception and a panel discussion on emerging architecture and urbanism in Korea. Moderated by Jinhee Park and John Hong, curators of the show and partners of Single speed Design, the panel will include Felipe Correa, Assistant Professor and Program Director, Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design; Soo-In Yang, Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Columbia University and founding partner of The Living; Taewook Cha, Director of Design/Associate Principal AECOM; and Mark Ratakansky, Adjunct Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, Columbia University and principal of Mark Rakatansky Studio.
Do all your holiday shopping at The Korea Society as we present young New York-based designers at a special Pre-Holiday Design Market. In celebration of World Design Capital Seoul 2010, artisans from Etsy.com will offer hand-made jewelry, winter woolens, travel purses, and caps—perfect gifts for the world traveler. Etsy, the worldwide online marketplace for artisans and craftspeople, seeks to reconnect “makers with buyers.” Sellers from Etsy will be on hand to provide insights into their crafts and answer questions for holiday shoppers. 
Learn traditional Korean hatmaking from Chung Young-Yang, a master embroiderer and renowned textile scholar whose embroidery graces the presidential palaces of Korea, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian Institution. Participants in this four-session workshop will learn to make a chobawi, a traditional Korean women’s hat with ear flaps of silk and fur. The class size limited, so register early.
Professor Kendall Brown compares painted and printed images of Korea by Elizabeth Keith with work by western contemporaries—including Paul Jacoulet, and Lilian Miller—to explain Keith's "classical" approach to Korean culture. Professor Brown will also present Keith's written descriptions of her Korean subjects, which, along with her visual depictions, reveal an empathy with Koreans and their culture and poetic take on a "vanishing Korea." Professor Brown recently served as Curator of Collections, Exhibitions and Programs, at the Pacific Asia Museum, and is currently working on several projects, including one on western female artists in Japan and Korea in the early twentieth century that will include works by Keith, Helen Hyde, Nertha Lum, and Lilian Miller.
