<Contemporary Korean Art> marks the Korean Cultural Centre UK’s second exhibition since it’s opening in January 2008. As a platform for the promotion and development of the Republic of Korea’s unique visual and popular culture, and in keeping with the escalating international interest in Korean art, the exhibition aims to highlight the key movements, thematic concerns and stylistic explorations of Korea’s dynamic contemporary art scene.

The show addresses the impact of global warming on people around the world: from droughts to melting glaciers, from industry pollution to deforestation. The exhibition, hosted by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in London, offers different photographic perspectives from Korean and international photographers who have tried to convey the scale of the problem in dramatic visual form.
