New York, NY; August 17, 2020—TheAsia Society Triennial has launched a new digital initiative: Eat Chocopie Together, presented in collaboration with Korean artistMina Cheon as a response to the physically distant conditions of the pandemic. This initiative, invites anyone, anywhere to extend love and peace by sharing virtual Chocopies with friends and loved ones via the websiteEatChocopieTogether.com. The project premiered on August 15, Korean Liberation Day—the only national holiday celebrated in both North and South Korea—commemorating the end of the decades-long Japanese occupation of Korea.

Eat Chocopie Together is based on Mina Cheon’s original artwork, an installation of thousands of stacked Chocopies which viewers are invited to eat. This communal experience was meant to bring awareness of the two Koreas working towards peace and unification.

Mina Cheon will be featured in Part 2 of the Triennial (March 16, 2021–June 27, 2021) with new artworks installed at the Asia Society Museum, as well as a physical iteration of Eat Chocopie Together.
