PROJECTS
--------
OKAY Book Volume 4
OKAY stands for "Overseas Korean Artists Yearbook"
An initiative of "Star-KIM project" Cho Mihee LEMOINE
The Okay Book was developed in the fall of 1999 to celebrate the new
millennium and to encourage and open a platform for those Koreans
abroad to show their work and advance their careers.
Upon seeing a "dictionnaire de la peinture moderne," Bordas Edition and
similar art books published in English, "The Art Book," we asked
ourselves why not create one based on the history of the Korean Art
Diaspora?
Official website coming soon: http://www.okaybook.com
