S(e)oul Scape: Towards a New Urbanity in Korea

S(E)OUL SCAPE is the exhibition that recounts the outcomes of the urban and architectural transformation that involved South Korea in the last years. After a long period of dictatorship, Korea is today at the center of a unique and unprecedented process of economic, social and cultural development which is characterizing the role of this country in the contemporary world. Curated by Francisco Sanin, the S(E)OUL SCAPE exhibition identifies in the work of six among the most well known Korean architects -Chung Guyon, Joh Sung-yong, Kim Young-joon, Min Hyun-sik, Seung H-sang, Yi Jong-ho- a program that persistently reveals itself in the culture, in teaching, in the theoretical research that accompanies the daily architectural practice. After the opening in Florence and the success enjoyed at the RAS Gallery in Barcelona and at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam, the Umetnostna galerija Maribor/Maribor Art Gallery will now host - September 4 until 30- the fourth venue of the international tour of the exhibition.
