Fresh

This is going to go down as Portland’s banner year for contemporary Asian art and visual culture. While for some time Katsu Tanaka has kept a steady flow of contemporary art from Japan to US and vice versa at his COMPOUND Gallery, this year sees Reed College’s Cooley Gallery China Urban show and the upcoming China Design Now exhibition show at the Portland Art Museum for which Wieden + Kennedy’s John Jay is apparently cooking up a number of ancilliary shows and/or programs.

Opening tonight at Gallery HOMELAND, Fresh is an exhibition of contemporary Korean painting and photography co-curated by Joowon Lee and Gallery HOMELAND’s Paul Middendorf and featuring work by Eun-young Cho, Sahm-kwon Kim, Jihee Kim, Yang-hee Kim, Duk Hwan Jo, Hyunmin Lee, Keum Aeng Seo, Jooahn Kwon, Ji Eun, and Lee. The show promises work that engages tradition as well as the pop now. Check it.

Tonight, July 10, is the opening reception from 6-9 PM.
