Marking the finale of our series of the Yokohama Museum of Art Reopening Inaugural Season, Yokohama Museum of Art presents the exhibition, “Art between Japan and Korea since 1945,” co-curated and co-organized with the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA).
Japan and Korea, neighbors bound by geographical proximity and cultural affinity, have shared a long and complex history. This exhibition seeks to rediscover our mutual relationship——shaped by the complex and rich histories of both countries——through artworks produced since 1945.
In this exhibition, ideas and perspectives are thoughtfully juxtaposed through artworks, opening a dialogue between the two countries that share a longstanding relationship as neighbors——sometimes harmonious, sometimes fragile. Although political and historical divisions cannot be resolved overnight, art offers a different kind of encounter; one rooted in reflection, empathy, and complexity. By seeing the other, we begin to see ourselves more clearly, and perhaps find the insight and courage needed to continue living side by side into the future.
This exhibition coincides with the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea in 1965.
