Young artists of the era were not immune to these unprecedented socioeconomic, political and material conditions, responding with a groundbreaking and genredefying body of avantgarde art known broadly as Experimental art (silheom misul). Both as individuals and in collectives, these artists broke definitively with their predecessors, redefining the boundaries of traditional painting and sculpture while embracing innovativeand often provocativeapproaches to materials and process through performance, installation, photography and video.Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s1970s accompanies the first exhibition in North America to examine this influential but understudied period. Featuring incisive new scholarship and lavish photography of works drawn from public and private collections across the globe, the volume also brings together translations of articles, artist manifestos and other primary sources that offer a firsthand perspective on the ideas and discourses then shaping Korean art. What emerges is the story of how this generation of young Korean artists harnessed the power of art to confront and reimagine an evershifting present.Artists include: Choi Boonghyun, Choi Byungso, Chung Chanseung, Ha ChongHyun, Han Youngsup, Jung Kangja, Kang Kukjin, Kim Hanyong, Kim Kulim, Kim Tchahsup, Kim Youngjin, Lee Hyangmi, Lee Hyeonjae, Lee KangSo, Lee KunYong, Lee Seungjio, Lee Seungtaek, Lee Taehyun, Limb Eungsik, Moon Bokcheol, Nam Sanggyun, Park Hyunki, Shim Moonseup, Shin Hakchul, Song Burnsoo, Suh Seungwon, Sung Neungkyung and Yeo Un.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Guggenheim Museum Publications","offers":[{"title":"An, Kyung \/ hardcover","offer_id":47842437038325,"sku":"SONG0892075619","price":63.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71ERR-MtOYL_85692942-69f2-4569-8780-64252fa3de08.jpg?v=1773779375","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/only-the-young-experimental-art-in-korea-1960s1970s","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
