National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art - Ai Weiwei Exhibition

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art located in Samcheong-dong and Deoksugung. The main building is in Gwacheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, but the branches, Seoul and Deoksugung, are more famous. As the name suggests, the museum mainly deals with modern art pieces. It exhibits many works of art and operates various art-related lecture programs. The Seoul Museum, which I visited this time, has a basic admission fee of 4,000 won, but it exhibits diverse and deep works of art that are definitely worth the price. Additional fees may apply for special exhibitions. "Ai Weiwei: Human Future", which I visited this time, introduces the artistic world of Ai Weiwei, who is active in all areas, including film, installation, architecture, public art, exhibition planning, and publishing. Ai Weiwei established his own perspective on modern art while coming into contact with works by Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, and Jasper Johns while staying in New York. After that, he participated in the formation of the Beijing Caochangdi Art Village and the Beijing National Stadium Project, the Beijing Olympic Stadium. In 2008, when the Sichuan earthquake occurred, he recruited volunteers online and formed a 'citizen investigation team' to record the total number of casualties and the names of the victims. Currently, he is unable to work in China, so he is staying in Europe and presenting various works on the theme of refugees. Ai Weiwei's life and art say that as a dignified human being, we should live a life where we can freely converse and express joy and anger, and that we should act so that all others can enjoy such a life together, from now until the next generation. The exhibition is planned and displayed so that even people who do not know much about modern art can easily appreciate the works and easily feel the problems inherent in modern society. I recommend this Ai Weiwei exhibition to people who like modern art or are interested in it. #Best #HotPlace #DateCourse #NationalMuseumofModernArt #NationalMuseumofModernArtSeoul #Exhibition #SeoulArtMuseum #SeoulExhibition #SeoulTravel #SeoulDateCourse
