Shifting Terrain: Korean Paintings from the Spencer Museum of Art Collection, 1800–2012
Exhibition Overview
Shifting Terrain traces how Korean artists navigated tumultuous periods of social and political transformation. A folding screen created for a royal wedding at the Joseon royal court in the late 19th century depicts a world that would soon disappear under the colonization of Korea by Imperial Japan (1910–1945). By contrast, contemporary artist Kim HwaHyun reimagines Joseon Korea through the lens of gender and sexuality.
