Partnership Forged Between Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and the Gimpo Museum of Art
Glendale Library, Arts & Culture and ReflectSpace Gallery in cooperation with the City of Gimpo, South Korea and the Gimpo Cultural Foundation presents “Beyond the River: Free Zone-DMZ, The City that Lost the River,” an exhibition that reflects on borders and divisions, specifically the far-reaching impact of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea at the City of Gimpo.

The DMZ is a 2½-mile wide swath that separates North and South Korea at around the 38th parallel. At its western edge is the estuary of the Han River where it flows into the waters of the Yellow Sea and where the City of Gimpo is situated. Although the Armistice of 1953 designated the estuary as a “neutral” or “free” zone for commercial maritime travel, neither side has complied with the agreement. Gimpo, an ancient city with a history of maritime trade, lost its river. In the exhibition, “Beyond the River: Free Zone-DMZ, The City that Lost the River,” several Korean artists reflect on this ephemeral and inaccessible border/river and consider how a city navigates the treacherous waters of partition.

All the works in “Beyond the River” underscore the symbiotic but fraught relationship between North and South Korea, a co-existence that is delicately balanced between everyday normalcy and the potential for sudden catastrophe. The artists strive to look beyond the river and to imagine new futurities for the Korean peninsula.

“Beyond the River: Free Zone-DMZ, The City that Lost the River” runs through March 15 in a 3D virtual gallery accessible through the ReflectSpace Gallery website www.reflectspace.org.
