'Brilliant critics' is an annual publication project by Hyundai Motor Company to promote Korean contemporary art critics and artist to the global community. Nowadays, there are many publications and art-related programs toward international attention with in-depth studies on Korean contemporary artists; however, not the same amount of efforts and opportunities are given for curators and art critics. We believe that art critic must stand on the ground to enhance competitiveness of Korean art and 'brilliant critics' is the result. A year project, 'brilliant critics' successfully completed writings of 10 'brilliant' Korean contemporary art critics ranging from emerging, established and senior levels. Each chapter consists of interview, profile, and his/her previous critic/writing on selected Korean contemporary artist.
