Hello all, I've just discovered this sub - please forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this kind of post.

I have a document written in English from a US artist, describing a social practice art project being proposed to Korean museum and educational institutions. I also have a rough Korean translation, but I don't speak Korean and don't know if the translation has captured the academic art tone/language properly.

I'm looking to hire a translator with a background in art or academic writing, to proofread and edit.

Can anyone here guide me towards a potential translator? Happy to provide more details privately.

Thanks very much in advance.

I actually want to collect this artist's work from a long time ago.But in Korea, there are many perceptions that his works are too fierce. What do you think?This painting is a traditional Korean shaman.As is the case in any country, traditional shamanism in Korea does not look good because of a kind of occult perception.And while his work uses only traditional Korean colors, it gives the impression of being dark and mad.He completed this style two or three years before he died.This story is like a flame to me.

Hello! I’m looking to learn more about this framed textile art piece that a family member has had for at least 40years, possibly more.

I can’t find any info on what the style is, approximate era/time period. Thank you!!

I signed up today. I look forward to your kind cooperation. Looking around, many people seem to be curious about the art market and the actual situation in Korea.
I major in art history and I am in the art market field. I think I can answer your questions sincerely.
I also collect a lot of antique and modern art.

I was wondering if there is a website where I can post pictures of old Korean furniture and other Korean artifacts (pottery, metal sculpture, paintings, wood carvings, etc) and people (experts?) can appraise it, discuss it, etc.

A few of the old artifacts I've inherited are Japanese but ended up in Korea accidentally.

What's going on?

A recent Reddit policy change threatens to kill many beloved third-party mobile apps, making a great many quality-of-life features not seen in the official mobile app permanently inaccessible to users.

On May 31, 2023, Reddit announced they were raising the price to make calls to their API from being free to a level that will kill every third party app on Reddit, from Apollo to Reddit is Fun to Narwhal to BaconReader.

Even if you're not a mobile user and don't use any of those apps, this is a step toward killing other ways of customizing Reddit, such as Reddit Enhancement Suite or the use of the old.reddit.com desktop interface .

This isn't only a problem on the user level: many subreddit moderators depend on tools only available outside the official app to keep their communities on-topic and spam-free.

What's the plan?

On June 12th, many subreddits will be going dark to protest this policy. Some will return after 48 hours: others will go away permanently unless the issue is adequately addressed, since many moderators aren't able to put in the work they do with the poor tools available through the official app. This isn't something any of us do lightly: we do what we do because we love Reddit, and we truly believe this change will make it impossible to keep doing what we love.

The two-day blackout isn't the goal, and it isn't the end. Should things reach the 14th with no sign of Reddit choosing to fix what they've broken, we'll use the community and buzz we've built between then and now as a tool for further action.

What can you do?

1. Complain. Message the mods of r/reddit.com, who are the admins of the site: message /u/reddit: submit a support request: comment in relevant threads on r/reddit, such as this one, leave a negative review on their official iOS or Android app- and sign your username in support to this post.
2. Spread the word. Rabble-rouse on related subreddits. Meme it up, make it spicy. Bitch about it to your cat. Suggest anyone you know who moderates a subreddit join us at our sister sub at r/ModCoord.
3. Boycott and spread the word...to Reddit's competition! Stay off Reddit entirely on June 12th through the 13th- instead, take to your favorite non-Reddit platform of choice and make some noise in support!
4. Don't be a jerk. As upsetting this may be, threats, profanity and vandalism will be worse than useless in getting people on our side. Please make every effort to be as restrained, polite, reasonable and law-abiding as possible.

Where do I find young (20s-30s) artists (music and painting) who are just starting in Seoul to interview? (Either a place where the artists congregate or some prospective artists Instagrams) 서울에서 막 시작한 젊은(20~30대) 예술가(음악과 그림)들이 인터뷰를 할 수 있는 곳은 어디입니까? (예술가들이 모이는 곳이거나 몇몇 예비 예술가 인스타그램)

Much thanks to everyone here who has posted, commented, subscribed, or lurked!

Is it illegal to do paid portrait drawings for people in Korea? If it's not illegal, where do people often do it at?

So my girlfriend is really into korean art but don't know where to study it anymore since the school she were attending sucked and had very unprofessional teachers. Can you guys suggest some courses or universities that you think are good enough? Something to be done online would be better, but we might consider relocationg if needed. Thanks in advance, every answer means a lot to me.

btw really beautiful blog, I can't understand the beauty behind the history of those paintings you post here but as an illustrator I can see the beauty of the paintings themselves. Really fascinating
