Tina Kim Gallery is pleased to present the group show Crow’s Eye View: The Korean Peninsula, at the gallery’s new Chelsea space from September 10 through October 17, 2015. First conceived by Minsuk Cho, commissioner and curator of the Korean Pavilion at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, Crow’s Eye View responds to the 2014 Biennale’s theme, Absorbing Modernity: 1914-2014. Inspired by a poem of the same name by Korean architect turned poet Yi Sang (1910-37), the exhibition explores the wide range of architectural interventions that have reflected and shaped the Korean Peninsula after World War II. Crow’s Eye View was awarded the Golden Lion for the Best National Participation at the 2014 Venice Biennale.
