This book is based on the conference held at the Charles B. Wang Center, Stony Brook University on March 24-25, 2017. "Documenting Korean Costume: Primary Sources and New Interpretations" have invited eleven scholars of dress history and fashion studies to discuss function and meaning of primary sources in Korean dress history. The legacy of Korean dress, as seen in archaeological findings and museum artifacts, is analyzed in comparison to the dress and fashions of other Asian countries. Korean dress and accessories have evolved into varied forms in modern times. Historians and prominent practitioners of dress-making and jewelry crafting present modern applications of centuries-old traditions of Korean dress in contemporary arts and designs. These leading experts also discuss the development of Korean dress and highlight how it is deeply related to political and economic aspects of Korean history.

AHL Foundation and Korean Cultural Service of New York are proud to present some materials from the Archive of Korean-American Artists (AKAA). Korean artists such as Whanki Kim (1913-1974), John Pai (b. 1937), Nam June Paik (1932-2006) and Po Kim (b. 1917) started to settle down in New York in the 1960s while a large number of artists arrived here to study at various MFA programs in the 1980s. Byron Kim, Y. David Chung, Ik-joong Kang, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha and many talented young Korean-American artists lived and worked in New York in the 1980s. This exhibition catalogue presents a group of the first generations who set up their studios in the greater New York area in the 1960s to the 1980s. This exhibition catalogue of Coloring Time includes scholarly essays along with documents, photographs, drawings, and sketches of Korean-American artists as well as their early works classified into five themes in order to show a creative journey of Korean contemporary art transplanted in the US.
