Published on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at MASI Lugano,
K-NOW! Korean Video Art Today invites readers to reflect on the role of video art as a tool for perception, memory, and the narration of the contemporary.
Featuring essays by Francesca Benini and Je Yun Moon (curators of the exhibition), as well as
Adeena Mey, the catalogue provides an overview of the history of video art in Korea, while also examining the video medium itself and the broader Korean art scene.
Interviews with the participating artists—Ayoung Kim, Chan-kyong Park,
Jane Jin Kaisen, Sungsil Ryu, Sojung Jun, Heecheon Kim, Onejoon Che, and 업체eobchae—offer further insight into the genesis and significance of the works presented in the exhibition.
