Sharing “Contemplating Boundaries” at the Korean Cultural Center

September 29, 2023 By Debra Disman

A LAUNCH LA OPEN CALL GROUP EXHIBITION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE KOREAN CULTURAL CENTER, LOS ANGELES,

“CONTEMPLATING BOUNDARIES” was held

JULY 27th – AUGUST 18th, 2023

“Boundaries exist in all cultures-often as social constructs serving to regulate our actions, norms, taboos, and space. They may be codified laws, common societal traditions, or even self-imposed rules. 

“Contemplating Boundaries” brought together artists from across Southern California whose practices contemplate and reflect barriers, labels and limits- whatever their origin or purpose. These artists and their works- define our times, providing an authentic lens to view contemporary culture.

Please see a video of the exhibition!
