Abstract
Elsewhere, the Mountain: Hee Sook Kim and Landscapes of Belonging presents new and recent paintings by Hee Sook Kim that reimagine Mont Sainte-Victoire—an iconic motif in Western art history—through the visual language of Korean culture. Layering painting with intricate beadwork and symbolic imagery, Kim transforms the mountain into a site of cultural translation and inquiry. Her work invites viewers to reconsider the narratives that shape art history and to encounter landscape as a space of shifting identity, memory, and meaning.
