AUSTRIA-KOREA

Exchange project of contemporary art from Korea and Austria
1993

 

<…> Among the Austrian works there are pictures which have incorporated in their language the meditative qualities of the Far East and its restriction to clear lines. Among the Korean works there is surrealism in the Far Eastern variation. This could be the starting point for further investigations. Where does the concept of surrealism come from? Or is a clear line something Far Eastern? All those questions and their answers which can be found in these pictures as well as in cultural history convey information about a certain culture. Art can convey this kind of cultural information since it is a means of expression of great intensity. An exchange exhibition like the present one also reminds us of the fact that art is a wonderful communication machine which makes it possible to grasp long periods of time and to get to know distant continents.
