The Movement of Herstory: Korean
The Movement of Herstory: Korean Embroidery
The Life and Artworks of Young Yang Chung
Thursday, March 2nd to Thursday April 27th 2017
www.koreanculture.org
Korean embroidery and its technical, aesthetic excellence has been brought to light by the artist, pioneer, and historian, Young Yang Chung as she proved embroidery to be a creative outlet as well as a means of viable vocation for Korean modern women. Embroidery, rooted in the long history marginalization as utilitarian “women’s work,” has evolved over the past years to a higher form of textile arts.
Boldly crossing the threshold of the women’s quarters (gyubang), Korean women have created a movement by breaking boundaries - both physically and metaphorically - through embroidery.
Chung’s ability to “paint with needles” has garnered worldwide attention as she has advanced an art form conceived as women’s work to an important part of textile arts and history. This exhibition is a look into the legacy of Korean embroidery through the life and artworks of Chung, now an indelible part of Korean herstory.
This exhibition is presented as a part of Asia Week New York and in celebration of International Women's Day 2017.
