Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong invites you to the opening reception of KITSCH & POP: Korean Pop Art Now, co-organized by the Seoul Museum of Art and the Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong.
The exhibition revisits Korean Pop Art—an important yet often under-recognized current in the history of Korean contemporary art—within the broader context of global contemporary art shaped by the worldwide rise of K-pop and K-culture. Following its presentation in Shanghai and traveling to Hong Kong, the exhibition brings together works by two generations of artists. Featured prominently are younger artists active in the post-internet era since the 2010s, including Sunpil Don, Mirim Chu, Sangho Noh, Raejung Sim, Sungsil Ryu, and Jeongsu Woo, alongside Kyoung Tack Hong, Donghyun Son, MeeNa Park, and Shinhye Kim, who began exploring Korean Pop Art in the early 2000s. This intergenerational dialogue highlights how the visual language of Pop has been reinterpreted and expanded in a Korean context.
Opening Reception: 2 Oct, 6-8 pm
Gallery address: 6-7/F, Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central
