[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Busan Museum of Modern Art closes the eventful end of this year by simultaneously holding four special exhibitions and welcomes a new year of hope.

The Museum of Modern Art has organized themes that diagnose the role of art and museums, exploring possibilities through architectural experiments and sound in response to the global disease situation.

The four exhibitions are ▲ the architectural exhibition "Revolution is Urban" utilizing the outdoor space of the Museum of Modern Art ▲ "Society of Individuals," which questions the realistic/conceptual reality of the 'individual' living in today's society ▲ "Blue Bell Sound," which questions the possibility of empathy for someone's pain ▲ and "Contemporary-Art-Business: New Orders of Contemporary Art," critically examining the operational logic of contemporary museums in relation to absolute capitalism. These will be held simultaneously on December 11. However, they will conclude sequentially according to next year's Museum of Modern Art schedule.

Busan citizens can make advance reservations for up to five people including companions through the museum's website. Due to social distancing measures, group tours, docent tours, and night openings will not be operated.

Kim Sung-yeon, director of Busan Museum of Modern Art, said, "This exhibition is a large-scale special exhibition held throughout the museum and outdoor spaces after the Busan Biennale," adding, "I hope it will be an opportunity to reflect on individuals and society through meaningful exhibitions that contain reflections of the times."

In the post-COVID-19 era, with the increased role of non-face-to-face online activities, the Museum of Modern Art is providing all museum activities including exhibitions and education through online platforms such as YouTube and social networking services (SNS).
