Cold War, Hot Peace, an exhibition of works from the REAL DMZ PROJECT, exploring the Demilitarized Zone and its border area in South Korea, will be on display at Slought from February 26-April 12. An opening will take place at Slought on February 26,  from 6:30-8:30 p.m., and will begin with a public conversation featuring curators Nikolaus Hirsch and Sunjung Kim, theorist Thomas Keenan of the Human Rights Project at Bard College and participating artists.

The REAL DMZ PROJECT is a contemporary art project based on research conducted on the DMZ. Having begun with a critical perspective on the ironies that surround the DMZ, the project has expanded this year by experimenting not only with artworks in situ but also via dialogue and discussions within the field of the humanities and social sciences. The project investigates the paradoxical conditions of conflict while imagining a new, alternative reality for the Demilitarized Zone.
