This exhibition features the last artworks of UC Irvine Professor Emerita Yong Soon Min before her untimely passing on March 12, 2024. It includes Both Sides Now (2018), Still/Incessant (2018/2024), an artist book that revisits her longstanding interest in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)—the liminal space between North and South Korea—as well as research and notes for the unfinished artwork, KISSSSS.
This installation is co-sponsored by UC Irvine Jack and Shanaz Langson Institute and Museum of California Art and UC Irvine Claire Trevor School of the Arts with lead support generously provided by Center for Critical Korean Studies and Claire Trevor Society.
