SEOUL, April 7 — The Amorepacific Museum of Art (APMA) has launched a major contemporary art exhibition titled APMA, CHAPTER FIVE – FROM THE APMA COLLECTION, featuring works by more than 40 Korean and international artists. Running from April 1 to August 2, the exhibition brings together around 80 works spanning painting, photography, sculpture and installation, offering a broad survey of contemporary artistic practices across different cultural and historical contexts. Among the internationally acclaimed artists featured are Kiki Smith, Rose Wylie, Carol Bove, Gala Porras-Kim, David Hockney and Donald Judd, whose works explore themes ranging from mythology and nature to material experimentation and reinterpretations of visual language. The exhibition also highlights leading figures in Korean contemporary art, including Nam June Paik, Lee Bul, Haegue Yang and Lee Ufan. Key works on display include Paik’s landmark installation Kon-Tiki, which helped establish video art as an independent genre, and TV Vertical Flower, presented in a museum setting for the first time in over two decades. New and significant works are also featured, such as Stacked Corners – Ventilated Square of Orange and Blue by Haegue Yang, alongside Lee Bul’s The Secret Sharer, known for its exploration of modern societal anxieties. According to the museum, the exhibition traces the evolution of Korean contemporary art—from the monochromatic Dansaekhwa movement to its expansion into diverse media and themes—while also examining broader global shifts in artistic experimentation. In conjunction with the exhibition, APMA will host a series of public programs, including curator-led tours and in-depth professional sessions, aimed at enhancing visitor engagement and understanding of the collection. /PRNewswire/
