이화여자대학교박물관

By restoring the subjectivity of female artists and spectators in a history of art that has been heretofore dominated by the male perspective, this exhibition simultaneously facilitated examining the possibilities for rewriting the history of Korean art, and viewing our modern and contemporary history from the female perspective. The exhibition was composed of two sections--the first was titled "The Images and Spaces of Women" and the second "Feminine Subjects and Techniques"--and presented 71 works by 63 artists ranging from Lee Jong-u's "Portrait of a Certain Lady" (1927), an acknowledged masterpiece from the earliest period of Western art in Korea, to Lee Bul's "Cyborg" (2000), a search for the face of a new humanity in the 21st century.
