CHOI Min(1944-2018) was a poet, a translator, an art critic and an educator who devoted his life to mediating the arts through diverse activities. Familiar to us as the translator of Ernst GOMBRICH’s 『The Story of Art』 and John BERGER’s 『Ways of Seeing』, and as a founding member of the art movement group “Reality and Utterance,” he was a mediator between literature and art, art and video, art and society, art and the public, expanding the fields of visual culture, and his work carries great significance. The CHOI Min Collection consists of 161 artworks and 24,924 other materials that he collected during his life. This exhibition has been composed on the basis of findings through research on the CHOI Min Collection, conducted by researchers from diverse fields including art, cinema, literature and bibliography. It itself is a testimony to this diverse research adventure crossing over the borders of discipline, language and culture.
