Asia Week

​On Asia Week New York 2026, Space 776 presents Genealogies of Time: Korean Modern and Contemporary Art, an exhibition that examines the present condition of South Korean contemporary art through the coexistence of multiple temporal layers. Rather than following a chronological narrative, the exhibition brings together works from different generations to reveal how artistic questions persist, shift, and reemerge over time.

​The exhibition foregrounds the practices of Jeoung Keun Chan (b. 1965, South Korea), Hyeongsoo Kim (b. 1961, South Korea), and Hak Il Kim (b. 1965, South Korea). Working across distinct formal and conceptual approaches, these artists articulate current positions within South Korean contemporary art, engaging with enduring concerns related to form, materiality, perception, and structure. Their works reflect how inherited artistic sensibilities are tested and reconfigured under present-day conditions.
