The Korean Cultural Center Washington, DC (KCCDC) is set to begin the third installment of its Korean Art in the US by presenting a virtual tour of Rediscovering Korea s Past, starting on February 26, 6:00 p.m. local time.
This new opportunity from the KCCDC to revisit Korean artworks in US museums will take viewers across the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, the Smithsonian s National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, DC. The virtual tour in the Korean Gallery will definitely feature the culturally significant Korean celadon - ancient ceramic works from the Goryeo period, mostly defined by their greenish color, and are regarded as among the finest pieces in the world.
While some museums are closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Apollo’s usual weekly pick of exhibitions will include shows at institutions that are currently open as well as digital projects providing virtual access to art and culture.
Edward Steichen was hailed as ‘the greatest photographer that ever lived’ by none other than Alfred Stieglitz – but his early career as a painter is less well known. His most ambitious work in that medium, a seven-panel mural completed in 1913, is at the centre of this display, which arrives at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, Virginia, on the latest leg of a tour across the US (23 February–30 May).
Says the publisher: “Reading everything from 19th-century detective fiction and naturalist novels to contemporary performance art and memoir, Hsu takes up modernity’s differentiated atmospheres as a subject worth sniffing out. From the industrial revolution to current-day environmental crises, Hsu uses ecocriticism, geography, and critical race studies to, for example, explore Latinx communities exposed to freeway exhaust and pesticides, Asian diasporic artists’ response to racialized discourse about Asiatic odors, and the devastation settler colonialism has reaped on Indigenous smellscapes. In each instance, Hsu demonstrates the violence that air maintenance, control, and conditioning enacts on the poor and the marginalized.”
