Presented in partnership with Gallery LNL in Sydney, MOON JAR; AN AXIS brings together the work of thirty artists from Korea and Australia, spanning ceramics, painting, and photography.  Moon Jar; An Axis explores Korean and Australian artists’ engagement with the Moon Jar together with those forms it brings forth, like the moon. The Moon Jar is widely regarded as an emblem of Korean aesthetic sensibilities, yet it is also the site of a continual reimagining across media by Korea’s contemporary artists. Axis establishes a cross-cultural discourse between Korean and Australian artists, examining at once the continuity of traditional practice, as well as the transformation which results from resituating the Moon Jar within a cultural context far removed from its historical beginnings.

SCREENING & TALK Saturday 16 August 2025, 1:30–5:00 PM (Updated time) Domain Theatre, Art Gallery of New South Wales PROGRAMS (Updated time) 1:30 PM – 1:40 PM Opened by Dr. Sunmin Yoon, Director of the KCCAU & Ruby Arrowsmith-Todd, Film Curator of the AGNSW 1:40 PM – 4:05 PM The Handmaiden Screening 4:05 PM – 4:25 PM Break 4:25 PM – 5:00 PM Talk and Q&A (Ryu Seong-hee & Ruby Arrowsmith-Todd) This special event includes a screening of The Handmaiden (2016), directed by Park Chan-wook, followed by a conversation with the film’s renowned production designer, Ryu Seong-hee, in dialogue with Ruby Arrowsmith-Todd, Film Curator at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Production design is the art of translating the story and worldview of a film into a visual language by interpreting the scenario’s imagery and overseeing the look and feel of the entire production.  In The Handmaiden, Ryu Seong-hee’s masterful production design fuses Korean and Western sensibilities to create a lavish yet unsettling atmosphere that heightens the psychological complexity of the narrative. Her meticulous approach to building cinematic worlds has made her one of Korea’s most distinguished art directors, shaping the visual identity of numerous award-winning films. This program highlights the art of production design as a vital component of cinematic storytelling.  It is held in conjunction with the exhibition Production Design: Scene Architects Build On-Screen Worlds, on view at the Korean Cultural Centre Australia from 14 August 2025. Ryu Seong-hee is a distinguished South Korean production designer known for her meticulous attention to detail and ability to create richly atmospheric worlds on screen. After realizing her original artistic path was not the right fit, she pursued specialized training in film art by enrolling at the American Film Institute (AFI) in 1995. Upon returning to Korea, she contributed to Ryoo Seung-wan’s No Blood No Tears (2002), where the term “production designer” was introduced in place of “art director” for the first time in Korean cinema. Ryu is widely recognized for her work on The Handmaiden (2016), Decision to Leave (2023), Oldboy (2003), and Memories of Murder (2003), films that helped elevate Korean cinema on the international stage. In 2016, she became the first Korean to receive the prestigious Vulcan Prize for Technical Artistry at the 69th Cannes Film Festival for her work on The Handmaiden. Her ongoing collaboration with director Park Chan-wook is particularly celebrated for its creative synergy and distinctive visual storytelling, solidifying her reputation as one of South Korea’s most accomplished and influential production designers. Most recently, she expanded her creative portfolio as co-artistic director of the Netflix original series When Life Gives You Tangerines, further cementing her versatility.

PRODUCTION DESIGN: SCENE ARCHITECTS BUILD ON-SCREEN WORLDS 14 August – 31 October 2025 Opening Night: 14 August, 6-8pm I Korean Cultural Centre Australia   Production Design: Scene Architects Build On-Screen Worlds brings to life the artistry behind some of the most striking films in contemporary Korean cinema.  This exhibition delves into how visionary production designers—Ryu Seong-hee (Decision to Leave (2022), The Handmaiden (2016)), Cho Hwa-sung (Hansan: Rising Dragon (2022)), and Han Ah-reum (Kill Boksoon (2023), Kingmaker (2022))—transform words on a page into unforgettable moving images.   Explore original production materials, from early concept sketches to detailed set designs, and see how stories, characters, and moods take shape through their creative process. Each project offers a unique visual journey, inviting you to discover a new way of experiencing the magic and aesthetics of cinema.   Production Design in Korean Film History   Production design serves to visually interpret a film, overseeing its overall appearance — its visuals and look — to articulate the story and worldview through a distinct visual language.   Until the early 1990s, it was common practice in Korean cinema for assistant directors to handle art-related tasks, including sets and props. This began to change with Blue in You (1992, directed by Lee Hyun-seung), which introduced Korea’s first formal ‘art direction system. Following the film’s commercial and artistic success, the Korean filmmaking landscape started to evolve, and by the mid to late 1990s, the concept of production design became firmly established.   Since the 2000s, Korean films have risen in international stature, winning awards at major film festivals around the world. At the core of this success lies the pivotal role of production design in achieving cinematic artistry. As ultra-high-definition digital cinematography became standard, demands for more intricate and realistic visuals grew, alongside audiences’ heightened expectations for aesthetic accomplishment. Responding to these shifts, recent Korean film production design has garnered acclaim both domestically and abroad, including honors such as the Vulcan Award at the Cannes Film Festival.   Presented in partnership with the Korean Film Archive, this exhibition was supported by the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and Korean Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE) as part of “Touring K-Arts” project.         

NURTURE / NATURE 13 June – 18 July 2025 Opening Night & Artist Talk: Friday 13 June, 6-8pm Public program Stone & Orchid: A Living Sculpture Demonstration with Tony Lennon: Wednesday 9 July, 3:30-4:30pm (Highlight video)   Nurture/Nature presents a deeply personal exploration of family, identity, and belonging through the lens of a blended Korean-Australian family of local artists.  The exhibition delves into themes of adoption, loss, care, cultural identity, and lived experience, offering insight into the complexities of family life within a multicultural society.   Over fifty works are featured, including childhood drawings and paintings by the daughter, sculptures by the father crafted from Sydney sandstone and native flora, and paper pulp sculptures by the mother created using recycled materials. Inspired by their 37 years of life in the Blue Mountains, each artwork is imbued with personal and familial narratives shaped by their natural and cultural environment.   The exhibition raises profound questions: How do nature and nurture intersect in a family shaped by cross-cultural adoption? What defines ‘nature’, and who, ultimately, nurtures whom? Through the creative practices of Jane and Tony, and the childhood artworks of Seon Ae, Nurture/Nature offers a moving reflection on the interplay of personal history, identity, and the bonds that sustain us.   Artists Jane Lennon (b. 1952) is a sculptor based in the Blue Mountains, NSW. She is known for creating vibrant, biomorphic forms from pulped waste office paper, using a sustainable, plant-based practice that blends intuitive processes with social and environmental commentary.   Tony Lennon (b. 1952) is an Australian artist known for his unique sculptural practice that breathes new life into stone. Through his work, Tony carves sandstone into sculptural forms that serve as hosts for cultivating Australian rock orchids.   Seon Ae Lee (b. 1987) is a naturally gifted artist and human rights advocate, committed to veganism and involved in activism for planetary survival that transcends cultural boundaries.

I am not sure of my level, how do I know which level to enroll in? Please try the level test to determine your level. You will be able to get an evaluation result immediately so you can place into the appropriate level. You can also access the e-book to check the content you will be learning. We require that you register for only ONE level. Please DO NOT register for more than one level each semester.   2. Do I need to take the level test in order to enroll in courses? No. Taking the level test is not compulsory. If you are certain of your level, you do not need to take the level test. However, if you are unsure of your level we do suggest you to take the level test.   3. Should I register for more than one course if I am not sure which class to take? No. Please do not register for more than one class per semester, as it will create duplicate entries in our system and you will take space away from other students. Please note that any duplicate entries will not be valid.   4. I am an existing student, do I need to register again/every semester? Yes, we ask all students to register for every semester. Previous registrations are not valid for once the term is over.   5. Can I reapply to the course I have taken before? Absolutely. You are more than welcome to reapply so that you are prepared for the next level.   6. Can I transfer/change course during the term? Unfortunately, no. Each class has waitlisted students who have applied specifically for that class. This ensures fairness in the allocation of class seats.   7. I will be missing out on few classes; can I receive a recorded video or attend subtitute class? No. We do not provide recorded videos or allow substitute classes due to privacy reasons. All classes will run in real time only.   8. Is there a minimum attendance policy? Yes, attending all classes is expected, but the minimum attendance requirement is 50%. Please always inform your teacher, if you have an emergency preventing you from attending each class.   9. Can I get a certificate to show I’ve taken the course? Certificate of completion are only issued to students whose attendance rate is 75% or higher.   If you have any further questions, please contact us via; 02 8267 3400 or sejong@koreanculture.org.au
