Sancheong Museum Extends Exhibition of National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Collection "Construction of Emptiness"

Exhibition Extended Until June 30 Due to Enthusiastic Visitor Response

Expanded Hands-On Educational Programs Also Available

The Sancheong Museum in Gyeongnam announced on May 14 that it will extend the exhibition period of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Art Bank Collection Exhibition "Construction of Emptiness" until June 30.

The exhibition was originally scheduled to end at the end of this month, but due to enthusiastic responses from many visitors during the Saengcho International Sculpture Park Flower Carpet Festival, the period has been extended by one month to provide more local residents and tourists with the opportunity to enjoy cultural experiences.

This exhibition, utilizing works from the Art Bank collection of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, was planned to bridge the cultural and artistic gap between regions and to provide local audiences with access to high-quality public art works.

The exhibition introduces a variety of formative languages in contemporary art through works that transcend the boundaries of drawing and sculpture, two-dimensional and three-dimensional art, painting and installation art. It also presents an expanded concept of sculptural art through a spatial composition linked to the Saengcho International Sculpture Park.

In particular, a total of seven artists, including Park Seungmo, who is from Sancheong, as well as Kang Deokbong and Mo Junseok, are participating, and nine works in total are on display. Park Seungmo is well known for his unique artistic world utilizing wire mesh and aluminum wire, and his representative work "Cello" is also being exhibited, attracting much attention from visitors.

The Sancheong Museum is also running hands-on educational programs in conjunction with the exhibition.

The program, themed "Creating My Own Work in Emptiness," includes a book art experience using Kim Byungjin's work "Apple Tree" and a craft activity inspired by Park Seungmo's "Cello." These programs have been receiving great responses from children and family visitors.

The educational program is open for applications until June 30, and for organizations and groups that find it difficult to visit the museum, an "Outreach Museum" program is also available where the museum comes to them directly.

Woo-Myung Park, Director of the Sancheong Museum, said, "With the extension of the exhibition, we hope that more local residents and visitors will have the opportunity to experience high-quality contemporary art up close," adding, "We also ask for your interest and participation in the various hands-on activities linked to the exhibition."
