"Crow's Eye View" is an exhibition that delves into the complex past, present, and future of the Korean Peninsula, and it explores how architecture played a key role in shaping the peninsula after World War II. Winning a Golden Lion for the Best National Participation at the 2014 Venice Architecture Biennale, "Crow's Eye View" makes its return as an exhibition at the Tina Kim Gallery in New York City.

Co-curated by architectural historians and critics Hyungmin Pai and Chang Ahn, the newly opened exhibition showcases a broad range of work by architects, urbanists, poets, photographers, and other creative figures. A few names include Nam June Paik (regarded as the founder of video art) and  architect Moon Hoon.

Crow's Eye View will be exhibited until October 17, 2015.

Scroll down for more details.

"First conceived by Minsuk Cho, commissioner and curator of the Korean Pavilion at the 14th International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, Crow’s Eye View responds to the 2014 Biennale’s theme, Absorbing Modernity: 1914 - 2014. Inspired by a poem of the same name by Korean architect turned poet Yi Sang (1910-37), the exhibition explores the wide range of architectural interventions that have reflected and shaped the Korean Peninsula after World War II. Crow’s Eye View was awarded the Golden Lion for the Best National Participation at the 2014 Venice Biennale."

Yi Sang, “Crow’s Eye View, Poem No. 4,” 1934; typeset by Sulki and Min, 2014.

"The discourse on the Korean Peninsula, divided by the global logic of the Cold War, has been dominated by the trauma of war and adversarial politics. Too often sensationalized, and simplified, it has reproduced clichés and prejudices that obscure the complexity and possibilities  that lie in the Peninsula’s past, present and future. Crow’s Eye View has sought to open a new horizon through which we view the Korean Peninsula as symptom and agent, archetype and anomaly of the tumultuous global trajectory of the past 100 years."

The exhibition is comprised of a diverse range of work by architects, urbanists, poets and writers, artists, photographers, filmmakers, curators and collectors. Like uncharted patches of an irregular globe, they form a multiple set of research programs, entry nodes, and points of view. Its four themes  - Reconstructing Life, Monumental State, Borders, and Utopian Tours - call attention to the urban and architectural phenomena of the planned and the informal, the individual and collective, the heroic and the everyday. Admittedly a South Korean point of view, Crow’s Eye View is a prologue for a yet unrealized joint exhibition of the two Koreas, the “First Architecture Exhibition of the Korean Peninsula.”
