[News] Hammer brings Korean art to Westwood with ‘Only the Young’

The Hammer Museum at UCLA will present “Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s,” a groundbreaking exhibition dedicated to Korean experimental art (silheom misul) and its artists, whose radical approach to materials and process produced some of the most significant avant-garde practices of the twentieth century.

Only the Young examines artistic production from an era of remarkable transformation in South Korea, when young artists who came of age in the decades following the Korean War reflected and responded to the changing socioeconomic, political and material conditions that accompanied the nation’s rapid urbanization and modernization.
