The Globalization of Art Expands Museum Boundaries: MoMA and Grand Palais Immersif Showcase Korean Artists
Published on 6.5.25
The globalization of the art world has led to a significant shift in the way art is perceived and appreciated globally. Korean artists are now gaining widespread recognition for their artistic achievements, moving beyond labels such as "defector" or "ideological victim." Jinyoung Anna Jin's argument that these artists warrant a deeper examination is being validated by their increasing presence in international museum programs.
The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City has featured works by Korean artists such as Nam June Paik and Lee Ufan, while the Grand Palais Immersif in Paris is hosting the Korea Arts Management Service's exhibition, "Korean Artists Today 2025," which features ten contemporary Korean artists, including Nam June Paik.
The success of these exhibitions highlights the growing interest in diverse artistic voices from around the world. The fact that museums are showcasing Korean art suggests a shift towards greater cultural exchange and understanding. As Byungjun Kwon's work continues to push boundaries with immersive experiences, it is clear that the art world is becoming increasingly globalized, providing opportunities for artists from diverse backgrounds to share their unique perspectives with a wider audience.
