K-art everywhere
It was an exciting year for the Korean art scene, as several of the nation’s well-respected artists found themselves exhibiting their works abroad in prestigious settings.
Mire Lee, 36, was also the first Korean artist to exhibit their work at the Turbine Hall inside Tate Modern in London last October. She debuted a pink, grotesque kinetic installation called “Open Wound,” a representation of “shedding pain and trauma from the Industrial Age,” which will remain at the site until March 16, 2025.
