Seoul
Wallpaper|September 2022
Each time the rain clears after a summer monsoon, a new Seoul is born: umbrellas become parasols and the grey urban vista makes way for a vibrant cityscape with a lush, mountainous backdrop. In recent years, Seoul has undergone another sort of rebirth, as our arts editor Harriet Lloyd-Smith finds out. After K-pop, K-beauty, K-style and K-cinema, it's now K-art's turn. With new galleries, bustling bars, and soon, the inaugural edition of Frieze Seoul, all eyes are on the South Korean capital
Seoul

01. 'META-HORIZONS: THE FUTURE NOW'

The debut exhibition at the new Design Museum at the Zaha Hadid Architects-designed Dongdaemun Design Plaza, 'Meta-Horizons' explores ZHA's work across digital technology, artificial intelligence, and sustainable strategies. Created in collaboration with artist Refik Anadol, the show is a captivating, multidisciplinary collision of virtual and physical worlds.

Until 18 September, 281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, ddp.or.kr

02. OUL AT THE FOUR SEASONS SEOUL

The newly opened Oul bar offers a contemporary take on the long history of Korean liquor crafting and fermentation, from a reimagined Gyeongseong-era sujeonggwa cinnamon punch to a kimchi highball with a twist of green chili soju. With its dynamic obangsaek colour palette and neon signage, Oul is a new hotspot for experimentally minded night owls.
