The exhibition Art between Korea and Japan since 1945 has been co-organized by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea and the Yokohama Museum of Art in Japan to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries and shed light on the trajectory of their artistic exchanges over the past eighty years. The term “road movie” in the Korean title of the exhibition refers to a cinematic genre in which a protagonist grows by means of encounters with unexpected people and events over the course of a journey. In a similar manner, Korean and Japanese artists have ventured into uncharted territory through cross-cultural engagement, broadening the channels of artistic exchange between their nations.
