overing the years 1897 to 1965, “The Space Between: The Modern in Korean Art” focused on the period following the traditional Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910) and spanning the Japanese colonial period between 1910–45, the Korean War of 1950–53, and early contemporary nationhood. The exhibition unfurled to reveal decades of experimentation, ingenuity, and creativity from Korean artists, despite being a time of turmoil and a source of continued trauma, which, (1965) by Choi Man Lin, greeted visitors at the entrance.
