The upcoming special exhibition 'Hwahada' at Busan Library is an installation art exhibition that creates an imaginary summer garden, something that cannot be seen in reality.

Visitors will be able to appreciate flowers and lotus leaves on a scale they have never experienced before. They can also enjoy spatial art that allows them to walk among the installations, as well as interactive experiences with the artworks.

The exhibition is curated by artist Yoo Miyeon, who is originally from Busan.

Yoo Miyeon is currently based in Busan. Up to last year, she held 19 solo exhibitions both in Korea and abroad, and participated in numerous group exhibitions. The artist mainly works on plant-related installation pieces.

For this exhibition, Yoo Miyeon has designed it as a visitor-friendly show, aiming to provide an aesthetic experience and a place of emotional rest for attendees.

The artist also plans to share her thoughts and experiences from the creation process with visitors through an artist’s note.

The exhibition is open to the public free of charge every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., except on Mondays and public holidays when the library is closed.

Kang Eunhee, Director of Busan Library, stated, "This exhibition is one of our various efforts to move beyond the library’s traditional focus on reading. Through the installation art exhibition, we aim to provide local residents with a complex cultural space for new aesthetic experiences. We will continue to present hybrid exhibitions that combine elements of the humanities and the arts."

Busan Library also plans to increase public interest in its exhibitions by continuously offering a variety of art pieces and hands-on programs that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, not just families.
