PRESENT FROM THE PAST sees newly commissioned works from forty Korean artists working internationally. The exhibition pays particular attention to the ways artists deploy their own history – whether through a reinterpretation of the Korean War or its legacy for the people of Korea. As a Thanks You present, 80,000 special edition postcards of the artworks on show have been printed so that each member of the British Korean Veterans Association may have a set. After the exhibition, all the exhibitied art works will be donated to the Royal British Legion and will be auctioned in September 2010, with the support of Sotheby's.
