“KISSSSS BY YONG SOON MIN”

The exhibit displays the final works of UC Irvine professor Yong Soon Min, which she created before her untimely death in March. It will include works from her book “Still/Incessant” that capture her longstanding interest in the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. It will also include her personal research and notes for the artwork she was unable to finish along with the images she was able to complete for the exhibit. Plus, more things to do in O.C. this week!
