			Pace Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of work by artist, architect, and environmental activist Maya Lin at its recently expanded arts complex in Seoul.
On view from January 20 to March 11, the presentation, titled Nature Knows No Boundaries will bring together new and recent installations and sculptures emblematic of the artist’s style. The exhibition, which marks the artist’s first solo show in Korea, will focus on Lin’s longstanding artistic investigations of water and her ongoing environmental activism.

Lin—who is known for her critical engagement with notions of site and place through a multidisciplinary, ecologically minded practice— rose to prominence in the United States after winning a nationwide design competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. in 1982. Other major public commissions by the artist include the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama, created in 1989, and the Women’s Table at Yale University, completed in 1993. In 2021, Lin presented her acclaimed public installation Ghost Forest, which comprised 49 towering Atlantic white cedar trees, in New York’s Madison Square Park. The artist, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US President Barack Obama in 2016, has been commissioned to create a sculpture for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, expected to open in 2025. Most recently, she was chosen to design a new performing arts studio building for the Fisher Center at Bard College in New York state. In 2022, TIME magazine named Lin one of the year’s most influential people.
