2021 KF Assembly for Overseas Museums

In November, to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its founding, the KF will hold the 2021 KF Assembly for Overseas Museums, inviting to Korea the directors and curators of renowned museums around the world and prominent university professors who actively promote Korean art abroad.

Among the invited participants will be representatives from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Art (US), the Victoria and Albert Museum (UK), and the San Franciso Museum of Modern Art, SFMOMA(US).

During the assembly, participants will discuss the current status of Korean art at their respective institutions and how to further promote modern and contemporary Korean art. They will also visit Korean national, public, and private museums, as well as artists’ studios, to view modern and contemporary Korean artwork.

Alongside the assembly, 2021 Workshop for Next-Gen Curators of Korean Arts will be held for Korean undergraduate students, graduate students, and emerging curators planning to work abroad, providing them with an opportunity to network and share career information with curators from around the globe. By promoting exchange between museum professionals at home and abroad, and by involving next-generation curators, the assembly aims to boost Korean art overseas and enhance Korea’s image as a culture-oriented nation.
