[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Nine air sculptures by artist Choi Jung-hwa, which will be exhibited at 'Sareori Sareoriratda' held at the Provincial Art Museum on the 22nd of next month, will travel around various locations in Gyeongnam.

The Gyeongnam Provincial Art Museum announced that from the 17th to November 4th, it will operate 'Choi Jung-hwa's Fruit Travel Project' in connection with the 'Sareori Sareoriratda' exhibition.

The works featured in this project include breathing flowers, pumpkins, pineapples, peaches, and pomegranates, with sizes ranging from 2m to 8m in diameter. The placement will be planned considering the conditions of the locations where the works travel.

Choi Jung-hwa, who planned the project, expressed, "I wanted to carry out a symbolic project of gifting fruit around Chuseok to give some strength to the people of Gyeongnam who have had a hard time due to COVID-19."

Kim Jong-won, director of the Provincial Art Museum, stated, "Choi Jung-hwa's Fruit Travel Project is a meaningful exhibition that experiments with temporary but impressive encounters by continuously moving using outdoor locations and SNS in a situation where indoor exhibitions have been suspended due to COVID-19."
