Join us Friday, September 4, 4:30 - 7pm at the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery, Haverford College for the Opening Talk & Reception of “Elsewhere, the Mountain: Hee Sook Kim and Landscapes of Belonging” curated by Lauren McCardel. 4:30pm Talk. Reception to follow.
Elsewhere, the Mountain: Hee Sook Kim and Landscapes of Belonging presents new and recent paintings by Hee Sook Kim that reimagine Mont Sainte-Victoire—an iconic motif in Western art history—through the visual language of Korean culture. Layering painting with intricate beadwork and symbolic imagery, Kim transforms the mountain into a site of cultural translation and inquiry. Her work invites viewers to reconsider the narratives that shape art history and to encounter landscape as a space of shifting identity, memory, and meaning.
