Looking Both Ways: Three Artists from Korea introduces artists Kisoo Kwon, Eun-ae Seo, and Seung Ho Yoo to America. With affection and irony, these members of a new generation reinterpret traditional Korean ink painting and the work of famous masters. They extract elements from historical Korean culture, recycling the old by means of visual puns and humor, in drawings, paintings, installation, and animation.

Looking Both Ways: Three Artists is one of four exhibitions on display from April 9 to May 8, 2005. Also on display are: a forest and a tree; Estranged Objects; and Fragments of Time
