The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles presents “Core Evolution,” the second exhibition in the 2019 LA Art Project, on view through Feb. 15 at the Korean Cultural Center Art Gallery.

In this exhibition, three female artists, painter and installation artist Mirang Wonne, of San Francisco; ceramics artist Yoonchung Park Kim, of San Diego; and mixed media artist Hei Myung C. Hyun, of Los Angeles, tell their stories of finding their voices and identities through their artwork.

After graduating from Korean universities in the 1960s, these three women individually went to study in America and France, only to be culturally shocked by new ideas. They had to fight their fixed ideologies and find new identities through a chaotic search. Today, these three artists continue to follow their passions and endeavors in California.

The exhibition is open to the public. For those interested in attending the opening reception, reservations are required.

The Korean Cultural Center Art Gallery is located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd. For information and reservations, visit kccla.org, or call (323)936-3014.
