Museum_Global K-Art Hyunsoo Woo Discusses the Impact and Influence Behind the Philadelphia Museum of Art's Korean Art Showcase The Shape of Time: Korean Art after 1989 is the most extensive exhibition of Korean contemporary art ever held in North America, showcased at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition was co-curated by Hyunsoo Woo, who began her curatorial journey in the U.S. in 1996 and was appointed deputy director at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2021. While the inception of this exhibition can be traced back to 2014, the unforeseen delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic only served to amplify anticipation within the American art community. Woo credits the surging interest in Korean art and culture, in part, to the global acclaim of Korean pop culture. This encompasses not only K-pop and the meteoric rise of groups like BTS and Blackpink but also internationally acclaimed films such as Parasite and Minari.
