This fall, a free exhibition you must see in Jeonju!
#OutdoorDate
Did you know that the Korea Art Festival is taking place throughout September, the beginning of fall?
I visited the Jeonju Museum of Modern Art in conjunction with the Korea Art Festival, where they held an exhibition titled "Jeong-eum," a youthful sound of the times. It was a truly touching experience for me and for all of us living in this era.
At first, upon hearing the title, I thought it was about sound. However, upon arriving at the exhibition hall, I discovered that it truly tells the stories of our lives today, using paintings, Korean traditional paintings, and media videos.
The exhibition, featuring around 20 young calligraphers, explores the anxieties we feel, the sense of impulsiveness we feel as we move forward, and the voices within us. Many of the works utilize commonly used language, creating a sense of familiarity, while others left me wondering how they could have come up with such ideas.
The second part, themed "Jeong-eum Embracing Tomorrow," combines calligraphy, painting, Korean painting, and media art. The exhibition, which interprets Korean art through the lens of our media-savvy perspective, was truly captivating and beautiful.
After viewing the exhibitions on the first and second floors, the finale features an interactive exhibit where you can write about your own "sound of my time."
The exhibition's purpose is to encourage you to truly articulate your inner voice without overthinking, so feel free to write down your own thoughts and thoughts.
This exhibition was surprisingly informative, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jeonju. It's even free, so be sure to visit before the exhibition closes!
