MMCA presents the exhibition ‘Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s’ at MMCA Seoul from 26 May to 16 July. This exhibition focuses on the avantgarde experimental art practices of young artists during a remarkable era of modernization and industrialization in South Korean history. Co-organized by the MMCA and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, this exhibition is the result of an international collaboration and joint research since 2018. It is especially a significant occasion for introducing leading practitioners of Korean Experimental art (silheom misul), their work, and related archival materials to audiences in Korea and beyond. Following its presentation in Seoul, the exhibition opens at the Guggenheim Museum in New York this fall on 1 September, 2023 and at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles on 11 February, 2024.
