The lecture lasted two hours, however, according to the audience, the time flew by, so fascinating was the story about how Korean art developed in the 20th century, what topics are relevant for South Korean art today, what questions contemporary artists raise, how they react to the processes taking place in society. The audience noted the level of presentation, the skill of the lecturer, thanked her with loud applause and a series of questions.
