Minor Feelings, group exhibition, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2027-29)

Minor Feelings, co-curated with Harry Choi, reexamines dominant narratives of “Korean art” by complicating its definition and nuances to examine the complex, hybrid identities of artists working in the present moment, concentrating on how they have confronted and subverted a flat interpretation of ethnicity, nationality, and culture. The exhibition teases out the ways in which their experiences are articulated through the notion of “diasporic form,” bringing attention to the underbelly and grit that accompany their lived realities.

Presented at Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Minor Feelings reflects a curatorial commitment to slowing down interpretation and expanding how museums engage emotional knowledge. Co-curated with Harry Choi, the project emphasizes dialogue, attunement, and shared inquiry over fixed thematic conclusions. It asks how institutions might hold space for forms of expression that are provisional, unresolved, and deeply felt, and how such practices can reorient our understanding of contemporary art and its social resonances.
