History Has Failed Us, But No Matter

Published on the occasion of the 58th Venice Biennale and curated by Hyunjin Kim, this title explores the history of modernisation in East Asia through the lens of gender and the agency of tradition. Like the namesake exhibition hosted at the Korean Pavilion, the publication looks at the works of the three Korean artists as a challenge to dig into, rethink, and question the canon of the heterosexual male and the modality in which East Asian modernisation has been interpreted.
