			Unsentimental Education offers a glimpse into the practices of four contemporary Korean artists, all men in their thirties, who have garnered increasing critical attention in recent years for their work in the mediums of painting and moving image. Putting an oblique spin on “sentimental education,” alluding to the 19th-century Flaubert novel which the author called “the moral history of the men of my generation,” this exhibition sheds light on the sensibilities and aesthetic strategies of an emerging generation negotiating the contours of seismic social and cultural shifts, while traversing the increasingly permeable divide between the real and the virtual, figuration and abstraction, lived experience and symbolic sublimation.
