NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART, SOUTH KOREA
Housed in a massive 52,515 sqm building, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, South Korea is a must-visit art destination for the creative heads. Situated near one of Seoul’s five grand palaces – Gyeongbokgung as well as traditionally rich Bukchon Hanok Village and Changdeokgung Palace, the museum stores harmonious pieces of arts – from inspiring sculptures to mix of print and design to photography, paintings, and large-scale installations to new media – created primarily by Korean artists.
Unlike any other museums, South Korea’s MMCA has no particular order to viewing exhibitions, so visitors are free to explore as they please from its several sites: Gwacheon, Deoksugung, Seoul, and Cheongju. One of its most celebrated showcases, “Park Hyunki 1942 – 2000 Mandala” that seamlessly integrates video art and modern technology with a tinge of Korean vocabulary and aesthetic is now available for online viewing. The retrospective gives you an unprecedented insight of the local video art trailblazer never-exhibited works of which sheds new light on the range and depth of Park’s practices. You may also want to check out “Garden”, a utopian plot that plays with various of emotions and senses, as well Korea’s legendary artist Yoo Yingkuk’s abstract painting collection at “The 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Korean Modern Masters: Yoo Youngkuk 1916-2002”.
