Ahn-Nyung | Hello
An Introduction to Korean Contemporary Art
Opening: January 22nd, 2011, 7-10pm
Curated by Jae Yang of Art Merge

'Ahn-Nyung | Hello' is an exhibition of multimedia works by four Korean artists exploring the conceptual and visual currents igniting the Korean contemporary art scene today. Curator Jae Yang mines the vanguard of South Korea's dynamic gallery scene to deliver the American audience an unprecedented survey of works that are as effusive in their naivete as they are expansive in their aesthetic achievement.

As a whole, 'Ahn-Nyung | Hello' uncovers a culture in transition in which memories are mutable, synthesis abuts tradition, and experience is subject to a regimen of creative re-envisioning.

Featured artists include Hyung Kwan Kim, Seok Kim, Yeonju Sung, and Jin Young Yu.
