City of the Sun

"City of the Sun," exhibited at the SCAD Museum of Art, is a select reading of artist Lee Bul's painting and sculpture from the past nine years. The exhibition presents Bul's explorations of the modernization of the 20th century, which are directly tied to her childhood experiences living through a shift in South Korean society. She grew up in a leftist dissident household in a militarized South Korean town in the 1960s during a period of restriction, surveillance and repression. In this environment, Bul's family was subject to police searches of their home.
