KNOWN FUTURE

Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA), Jung District

Through Sept. 29

Korean contemporary dancer and choreographer Eun-me Ahn decided to showcase her 30-year retrospective work, not at a conventional theater like all the other dancers, but at an art museum. Known as Korea’s oddball dancer, Ahn is currently exhibiting her works from the past 30 years after establishing Ahn Eun-Me Dance Company in 1998 in an exhibition titled “Known Future.”

The exhibit features her costumes, soundtracks, stage sets and so on that she created by collaborating with other artists. A large painting is also on the wall which depicts Ahn’s life in her 20s, 30s, 40s, in the present and even in the future, created by artist Rhaomi. The exhibit also features a stage where Ahn and her company will rehearse their upcoming work that will be put on stage in the fall. Ahn will also hold classes that visitors can participate in during the exhibition.

Admission is free. The museum is closed on Monday. Go to Seoul City Hall Station, line No. 2, exit 10 and walk for five minutes.

SEONG: FANTASTIC CITY

Suwon IPark Museum of Art, Suwon, Gyeonggi

Through Nov. 3

This exhibition celebrates King Jeongjo (1752-1800), who has served as inspiration for countless Korean films and books with his progressive social reforms and landmark projects like the Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, Gyeonggi. The show features 10 contemporary artists’ brand new paintings, installations and video works inspired by Jeongjo and the Hwaseong Fortress, including paintings by Min Joung-ki, the artist behind the famous “Mount Bukhan” painting featured during last year’s historic inter-Korean summit.

The museum chose to present the show in the style of a royal tomb of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), dimming the lights to create a solemn yet mystical aura. Exhibition spaces are divided to correspond with actual sections that make up the tomb.

Tickets are priced at 4,000 won for adults. The museum is closed on Mondays. Go to Suwon Station, line No. 1, exit 9, and take bus 11, 13, 16, 35 or 46 to get off at the Hwaseong Temporal Palace stop.

Daelim Museum has transformed its gallery space into a luxurious fun house that presents the colorful world of Hayon’s imagination.

The vibrant colors and quirky animal motifs featured across Hayon’s works will make this exhibition fun for children as well.
