The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA, Director Youn Bummo), is unveiling from 25 November (Wed.) to 28 March 2021 (Sun.) Lee Seung Taek's Non-Art: The Inversive Act at the MMCA Seoul.

Lee Seung Taek (b. 1932) is a representative figure in Korean experimental art who continued to produce works of art spanning installation, sculpture, painting, photography, land art, and performance art since the 1950s until today. Lee Seung Taek's Non-Art: The Inversive Act is a large-scale retrospective that aims to revisit the sixty-year career of Lee, who has played a pioneering role in transforming the Korean contemporary art scene with his unique artistic values.

The title of the exhibition, Lee Seung Taek's Non-Art: The Inversive Act encapsulates the artist's artistic career during which he challenged fixed notion of art and inverting every kind of object and idea. His artistic views are well expressed in his statement: "My view was inverted. My thought process was inverted. My life in this world was inverted." They are also well expressed in his concept of "non-sculpture," through which he challenged the established grammar of sculpture.
