The series focus on the ways in which artists in South Korea have addressed the intrinsic conditions of cinema – namely duration and the collective viewing experience – and the changing social and political context that have defined the ways artists have been able to work. These screenings will attempt to map the continuities across various generations and the crucial role of artists organisations from the pioneering groups Avant-Garde (A.G.), The Fourth Group and Kaidu Group in the 1960s and 70s to the ongoing activities of the EXiS festival that continues to support artists practice with film and video in South Korea.

Curated by Hangjun Lee (EXiS), with Hyun Jin Cho (KCCUK) and George Clark (Tate Modern).

Organised in collaboration with the Korean Cultural Centre UK, EXiS and supported by LUX
