The Busan Museum of Art will hold Post Media and Site, an exhibition featuring 13 artists including Koo Hunjoo, Diagonal Thoughts, Moojin Brothers, Yuon Kibaik, Oh Jong, from September 26 to December 17. The Busan Museum of Art is to be renovated in 2024, and this exhibition is the last exhibition to be held before the renovation.
The exhibition is a meta-exploration of museums and exhibitions by comparing museums to “theater” and exhibitions to its “stage”. By imagining the museum as “theater”, the exhibition aims to allow the viewers to project their own feelings and re-sense the space of the museum. The exhibition focuses on the identity and characteristics of the space as it is located at the point of change. The 30 works by the artists actively transform and intervene in the space, pondering the role of art and the function of museums and exhibitions.
Alongside Post Media and Site, the Busan Museum of Art will present The Past Reveals Itself to Have a Plot (09.26-12.17, 2023), an exhibition that looks back at the role and direction of the Busan Museum of Art from its opening to the present.
