between tradition and contemporary

"there is a spot called 'between', where tradition and contemporary coexist by overcoming the dichotomy between past and present. the 'between' represents the field where contemporary vocabularies and expressions are applied and interpreted to traditional subjects, materials, and techniques. a close inspection of the works relate the identity of the artists with korean aesthetics, an idea that could be continuous with the discourse relating to the concept of 'koreanness'."

note: any ambiguities apparent in this quote are probably due to (oh so endearing) engrish.
