The painting is brimming with information about the city\u2014fabled for its architecture, food, and&nbsp;<em>gisaeng<\/em>&nbsp;dancing girls\u2014and its inhabitants and environs.&nbsp;<em>The Walled City of Pyeongyang&nbsp;<\/em>is a topographical portrait of a city, a genre that came into vogue in Korea in the 18th century, with the rise of urban culture and mobility.&nbsp;<em>The Shape of the Land&nbsp;<\/em>presents new research on the 19th-century Pyeongyang screen and places it in the broader context of Korean mapmaking. Although maps of the countryside and towns were originally commissioned by the government for administrative purposes, by the late Joseon period (1392\u20131910), hand-painted and printed maps and atlases were widely popular among the general public. Drawing on the collection of Robert and Sandra Mattielli, the exhibition presents fanciful maps of cities, provinces, the Korean peninsula, and the known world. Often highly stylized, these images offer fascinating insights into the values and worldview of Koreans, on the eve of the Hermit Kingdom\u2019s opening to the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Museum is deeply grateful to the Oregon Korea Foundation for donating the Pyeongyang screen in 2003 and for supporting the companion brochure for this exhibit. Our thanks also to Sandra and Robert Mattielli for their generous loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Organized by the Portland Art Museum and curated by Sangah Kim, Cowles Curatorial Fellow in Asian Art.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns resource-card-image hover-cards is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns hover-card is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-disable-lightbox\" data-gallery-name=\"\" data-modal-description=\"\" data-modal-title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"436\" data-full-size=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Shape-of-the-Land-brochure-5.jpg\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%;\" src=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Shape-of-the-Land-brochure-5.jpg\" alt=\"Old Korean map drawing\" class=\"wp-image-7981\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhibition brochure<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button hover-card__link is-style-download\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Shape-of-the-Land-brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" aria-describedby=\"opens-in-new-window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview This special installation in the Museum\u2019s Korean Gallery is inspired by one of the most important Korean works in our collection: a large folding screen depicting a bird\u2019s-eye view [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":7979,"template":"","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":false,"pam_header_media":false,"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","transcript_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","_EventAllDay":true,"_EventTimezone":"America\/Vancouver","_EventStartDate":"2018-07-18 00:00:00","_EventEndDate":"2019-01-13 23:59:59","_EventStartDateUTC":"2018-07-18 07:00:00","_EventEndDateUTC":"2019-01-14 07:59:59","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"$","_EventCurrencyCode":"USD","_EventCurrencyPosition":"prefix","_EventDateTimeSeparator":" @ ","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":" -
