  • #Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa

    I just listened to the fabulous 2014 interview with Joan Kee on the history of contemporary art in Korea. Contemporary Korean Art: Tansaekhwa and the Urgency of Method (University of Minnesota Press, 2013). I collect Tansaekwa and yet has missed this until now. Excellent thank you!

  • Fascinating show

    Love this show. I particularly liked the interview with Jessica Helfand about her book. I agree that there is more to be said about the humanity of images of faces that we'd normally not look twice at like Instagram selfies and mugshots (and the encoded information you can glean about the people behind the camera!) I’m looking forward to more episodes!!
