Kyoto Meetings

Founded in 1989, Johyun Gallery has been advancing Korean artists both at home and abroad, influencing modern and contemporary Korean art history. The gallery presented exhibitions of post-war and Dansaekhwa artists Park Seo-Bo, Lee Ufan, Kim Chong Hak, and Nam June Paik prior to their global recognition. Since 2007, Johyun has expanded its program to include representation of international artists including Yayoi Kusama, Claude Viallat, Bernard Frize, and Bosco Sodi, as well as the Korean diaspora artists such as Jin Meyerson, Ahn Jisan and Jongsuk Yoon. Johyun annually hosts over ten solo exhibitions across its three spaces in Seoul and Busan, maintaining a continued commitment to defining the present and future of contemporary art while considering its critical and historical context.
