Road to Utopia: Threshold KCCoC Gallery Invitational Exhibition

Road to Utopia: Threshold KCCoC Gallery Invitational Exhibition

Hosted by the Korean Cultural Center of Chicago and curated by SAIC (School of Art Institute of Chicago) KSA (Korean Student Association) Curating team, the invitational exhibition asks each artist what their Utopia looks like. In this exhibition, we invite you to explore the concept of Utopia through the lens of ten rising Korean artists. Each artist presents their unique vision of utopia, which is shaped not only by their aspirations as artists, but also by their cultural identity. By pushing the boundaries of their creativity and striving towards their own personal Utopias, the ten artists, inspire us to imagine utopia for ourselves and for the world we share. We hope that you will join us in experiencing the diverse stories and perspectives of these talented individuals throughout the exhibition space.
