Healing becomes major topic this year
By Kwon Mee-yoo
Most creative industries are suffering unprecedented consequences caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the art world is no exception. Major thematic exhibitions this year will center on thoughts about the post-COVID-19 era or are designed to provide consolation for people suffering from the pandemic.
Hakgojae Gallery in central Seoul kicked off the year with new exhibition 38˚C, which refers to the temperature at which someone will be restricted from public spaces in the COVID-19 era. It features works from its collection including Anish Kapoor, Tim Eitel and Lee Woo-sung.
