"My deep connection with South Korea goes back as far as the Nineties, when Hou Hanru and I visited during our co-curation of Cities on the Move, an exhibition that travelled across the world shedding light on the dynamic art and architecture of East Asian cities. I witnessed the rise of K-pop during the late Nineties and early 2000s, thanks in part to the amazing Miky Lee, whose promotion of the genre through events like the KCon festival made it globally visible."
"K-pop music and culture seem to connect communities and generations across the world. In 2020, Serpentine collaborated with BTS on the group's global art project Connect, BTS, which worked with art institutions around the world to explore the connections between art, music and technology. BTS and Serpentine worked together with the Danish visual artist and technologist Jakob Kudsk Steensen to create Catharsis, an immersive, 3D digital simulation of a forest that has been undisturbed for hundreds of years."
"Lisa bridges music, fashion and acting, recently making her screen debut in the third series of The White Lotus under her full name, Lalisa Manoban. She uses her platform to communicate with hundreds of millions of people all over the world and has a strong relationship with her fanbase, which is fascinating for an artist so young. This has been a big year for her, with Blackpink's tour and the release of her debut solo album, Alter Ego,"
