Funded Activity Summary

Cross-cultural translations: initiating Australian encounters with post colonial Korean art and national identity. The project analyses the complex problems of exhibiting the art of other cultures to both insiders and outsiders. It develops a new theoretical approach to understanding the complexities of cross-cultural translation, the dynamics of cross-cultural receptions, and the concepts of otherness and identity in visual arts. In translating and presenting the rich, diverse and vibrant art of post-1945 Korea in an art historically important yet accessible way, first to culturally unfamiliar Australians, then to other Asians and finally to Koreans themselves, a new model for exhibiting other cultures will be developed.
