PhD student Jae Hwan Lim panel at Western Conference of Assoc. for Asian Studies

October 11 - October 12, 2024

My presentation, 'Commodity vs. Community: Neoliberal Art/Culture in Contemporary South Korea, 2010-20s' critiques the 2010-20s South Korean art field that is fully merged with the Western rule of neoliberal art and culture, prioritizing money above all else. My critical analysis of such a trend is to situate the Korean art scene as an economy-centered production of art and culture and to critique its further instrumentalization of humans for the industry."

Nadreau and McDonald take this notion and reframe it—exploring not only how reality is distorted by spectacle but also the potential for self-discovery and transformation within it.
