Ha Chong-Hyun Survey at Lisson Gallery Accompanied by ArtReview Panel Discussion
On 13 October, Lisson Gallery in London will host a panel discussion from 11am to 1pm featuring Prof Sook-Kyung Lee, Wenny Teo, and Mark Rappolt. This event, organized by Lisson Gallery and ArtReview, will delve into the new exhibition of Ha Chong-Hyun, which highlights six decades of his artistic journey. The exhibition begins with the Naissance series from the late 1960s, showcasing geometric designs that push the boundaries of painted surfaces. It also includes the Conjunction series from the 1970s, reflecting the era of martial law in South Korea, and the Post Conjunction series from the 2000s, which investigates color and spatial rhythm. The exhibition is open until 7 November; RSVP for the panel on Eventbrite.
