The Denver Art Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver are set to showcase Korean art in upcoming exhibitions during the winter and spring of 2025. One exhibition, "Lunar Phases: Korean Moon Jars," will open at the Denver Art Museum on March 2, 2025. This exhibition will allow visitors to explore the evolution of the moon jar from Korea’s Joseon dynasty (1392-1897) into a national artistic icon. The show features twelve ceramics spanning from the 18th century to the present, each representing a month of the lunar calendar.
Another exhibition, "Suki Seokyeong Kang: Mountain—Hour—Face," is presented by MCA Denver. According to Miranda Lash, Ellen Bruss Chief Curator, and Leilani Lynch, Associate Curator of MCA Denver, “The exhibition Suki Seokyeong Kang: Mountain—Hour—Face is an invitation to explore the rich practice of Suki Seokyeong Kang and also to contemplate one's relationship to nature and to other individuals.” They noted that this is the most expansive presentation of Kang’s work in the U.S. so far.
Major funding for "Suki Seokyeong Kang: Mountain—Hour—Face" has been provided by Liv Barrett and Patrick Collins, Lisa H. Kim and Eunu Chun, Tina Kim Gallery, Kukje Gallery, Miyoung Lee and Neil Simpkins, and the Peter Magnone Foundation. First Western Trust Bank serves as Opening Night Sponsor. MCA Denver also acknowledges support from Commonwealth and Council and citizens of the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD).
