Rebirth of Place:
– Expansion & Conflict of the Korean Modern Architecture
<Rebirth of Place: Expansion & Conflict of the Korean Modern Architecture> is an exhibition that critically examines contemporary Korean modern architecture in light of “time and events.” Historically, the narrative structure of modernism has experienced ongoing conflict between Korea’s unique driving force and its existing values.
The works displayed in this exhibition are limited to Seoul and the metropolitan area. The exhibition does not seek to provide answers to the questions posed by modern architecture. The important thing is to engage in discussion and examine what buildings connect the past to the present in the course of such dramatic changes to Seoul, a place defined by upheaval, modernity and tradition. Moreover, by describing the values that have won the most respect, this exhibition aims to show the changes in the perspectives shown toward modern architecture, as well as cast light on the present state of modern architecture.
Pondering over the aforementioned ideas, This exhibition consists of the following sub-themes: ‘Representation of Landscape’, ‘Recalling the Subject’ and ‘Transfer of Power’. These are the values that secure the sustainability of modern architecture. The values revealed here are flexibly intertwined with one another and thus cannot be clearly distinguished.
