Step into NEW GEN: The Emerging Voices, where eight emerging Korean artists reimagine what it means to make and experience art today. Through painting, sculpture, moving image, and installation, the exhibition unfolds as a landscape of ideas—fluid, layered, and deeply attuned to the rhythms of contemporary life.
From mythic memory to digital sensation, each artist transforms personal and collective experience into new visual languages. Their works reveal how stories, materials, and technologies continue to shape how we see and feel the world. Together, they form an evolving constellation of perspectives—bold, experimental, and unapologetically present.
Presented by the Korean Cultural Centre UK (KCCUK) as part of its annual open call programme, NEW GEN celebrates the vitality of Korean artists working across the UK today. With insights from curators Daphne Chu (Ikon Gallery), Alvin Li (Tate Modern), and Yung Ma (Hayward Gallery), the exhibition offers a glimpse into the new energy driving Korea’s contemporary art scene.
Please note that the opening requires an RSVP, and the link is available on the official KCCUK website.
