What happens when a group of international artists travels to North Korea to create art, the like of which the regime has never seen before?
While the world is on the verge of nuclear war, a group of Western contemporary artists are invited into the eye of the storm - North Korea. The aim is to collaborate with North Korean artists in an art-exchange project displaying new and challenging art in a country where abstract art is forbidden. We observe as the notoriously clandestine and bleak country is invaded by this cast of colorful characters. They arrive in pursuit of a peaceful cultural exchange, but the project may well turn into a War of Art.

NK might be the better place, even now, if all that transpires by people letting it.

I don’t like how the blood guy pretty much forced that lady to kiss him. Women feel socially obligated to please men and not make them mad especially under those circumstances with the camera around and everyone. Did he think that lady really wanted to kiss him on the cheap? I’m all for weird crazy deep forms of art but don’t be creepy and rape’y towards women dude.

We honor each other with mutual respect and understanding and cooperation. We must proceed with compassion and the greatest of respect to honor their country and their traditions. We should be positive, never criticize, but ask about what we don’t know to learn about it. We are all human, and we should strive for peace and harmony and understand that we share our lives and cultures. We can learn from one another and work together to achieve a common goal of cooperation and happiness and respect as we go forward together into a future of wonderful things and discoveries and peace.

I wish there are such exchanges among environmental scientists. I'm a conservation biologist and would love to see the animals there and how much of their habitat has been preserve. I'd love to see a sea eagle , asiatic bear and a goral! There actually an area in the DMZ that became an wildlife sanctuary. After people left, they thrived. It can be intact if both sides agreed it's environmentally valuable regardless of political circumstances but unfortunately it isn't. It was only preserved because of the presence of the military.

This is something completely different. Essentially it is about the ability of art to communicate something subversive or enlightening without the state being able to sensor the art.

  • A number of posts here pointed out how the Korean artists reacted when shown a work by a western artist who marked a book with his own blood . What I saw was not the mocking laughter some of you suggested. To me it looked more like the nervous laughter of an uncomfortable moment. It quickly faded to curiosity as the young artist came to understand, probably for the first time in his life, that art can be more than just a decorative mural. It can also be a metaphor, able to convey ideas that dare not be spoken loud.

    • This is the biggest cope I have ever seen by some random imperialist socdem progressive "artist". Human is not like your "progressive" literature or art where everything is subjective. His emotion was clear and it was pure disgust, confusion and disinterest. When the artist pierced himself to sign, he was extremely uncomfortable as seen with him saying "what are you doing" before the camera cut to a different scene. Your arrogance is getting the best out of you. Because not only do you try to speak for some random person who you look down upon as in need of liberating but you insult him and his intelligence by saying "probably for the first time in his life, that art can be more X". What gives you the authority to judge, assume and critique his intelligence of what he knows and doesnt? What happens he have seen abstract art before and did not like it? Is it because your from the west? Is it because you live in a "free country" or is it because you believe in "progressive values" hence you think your better than everyone else?

Art CAN be more than just propaganda and paintings of landscapes or portraits, but it requires more than just gimmicky stuff. That kind of stuff comes out of oppression though, which is why most western art is gimmicky because they're not oppressed, as its usually anti propaganda or against something, unless your counting political drawings like the ones in the New Yorker or papers, but other than that, the west doesn't really have alot to complain about

  • Not sure about the restrictions but I feel like they should get two artists each from NK and foreigners to sit down and paint a theme that when painted can be easily understood(love, beauty, nature etc). These abstract arts are cool and all but even majority of our own society doesn't think of them as much more than abstract pieces. During the production of the arts they can communicate about why each of them do certain things(why'd you use that colour there?, why did you use this scenery?, why is this thing here?) I feel like it'll be a lot easier to show a couple hand in hand and talk about the theme love, than get them to understand something that their country doesn't have time to understand.

  • In the end, they did what they meant to do. It was an exchange. Yes, they were very risky with their guides and pushed boundaries a lot. Unfortunately it's hard to take seriously how they have to do their jobs out of fear rather than just loyalty and job security. However, the big exchange part was for NK citizens to see the freedom our artists have, and for our artists to see how little freedom NK artists have. The showcase at the end, where the artist made the photoshopped image, THAT was still revolutionary to the NK people. Then, he signed it in blood. The photographer that showed an image of a NK worker behind a door with the light only shining on her eyes...not a lot to search for a meaning there. The Norwegian artist who vocalized with the NK artist to paint a line, and the NK artist to go "yeah! I liked that!" is huge. Also to add, the Blood Guy is not the weirdest artist I've seen (I've seen way more extreme), but his style of art is based on reactions more than anything else. Weird people out! See how they feel! Think about that painting that was shredded moments after being sold, or anything by Marcel Duchamp. Art is a language, and NK's language was just recreation, like everything else. Showing that sound can be art, colours with no main shape can be art, light and shadow, and blood, in a way, can be art, makes them think. They probably have thoughts in the back of their head now: "Man, remember that guy who painted in BLOOD? How could he get away with that back home?" "remember that painting with all the colours? Man, I liked it, WHY did I like it?" "That sound was so weird...how did he make it? DID he make it? But...how?". Note, these are my opinions, but I think it was good. It was very risky, the moment I heard "pick artists to show art NK has never seen before" I went, "welp, good luck with that" so I'm glad they got to show at least a few people. I hope the artists learned as well. If anything, it's a good discussion point: What is art, and how would you show somewhere like NK your art?
