Latest Events in Seoul(May Updated)

Before the 19th century, most paintings were based on historical, political, mythological and religious themes due to the influence of social and religious environments. However, after entering the 19th century, with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization, the growth of the middle class allowed people to have more financial resources and began to enjoy various leisure activities. Impressionist painters came into being and depicted the daily lives and leisure time of these people on canvas. Breaking away from the academic style that dominated the art world at the time, the Impressionist painters were no longer confined to the studio, but turned their attention to nature where they could fully experience light, color and air. They particularly like to vividly depict Parisians enjoying their daily romance and leisure through scenes such as picnics, boating, sunbathing, cafes, streets and gardens. The media exhibition "Holiday in Paris: Holiday in Paris" reinterprets the works of French Impressionist representative painters Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, Georges Seurat and Gustave Caillebotte through immersive digital media art, and through interactive elements, it makes the audience feel as if they have traveled back to 19th century Paris and become the protagonists enjoying leisure in Impressionist works. Philosopher Hegel once said: "Rest is the most precious thing in the world." It is a great pleasure for human beings to have peace of mind, temporarily get rid of physical and mental fatigue, and enjoy their own rest time. For those modern people who are tired of endless life and work, entering the exhibition hall, immersing themselves in the works of representative painters of Impressionism, and feeling the romance and leisure of Paris will be an impulse to get rid of physical and mental fatigue. We hope that the Paris scenery against the backdrop of the Seine River, the leisurely boating scenes and the sunbathing scenes on the grass reproduced through immersive media art can provide modern people with an excellent space to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a rest.

Project Hashtag is a project curated by the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art to discover creators leading the visual arts in Korea and to support mutual collaboration not only in art but also in various fields. Launched in 2019 with the support of Hyundai Motor Company, Project Hashtag celebrates its fifth anniversary in 2024 and builds it into a new level of competition project that experiments with the scalability of contemporary visual art. "Hashtag (#)", the name of the enterprise, is a special symbol that can be interpreted in many ways depending on the language, country, purpose, etc. It was first used by Chris Messina on Twitter (currently X) and is now widely used. Hashtag is a method of linking related topics in different posts by connecting # and keywords on SNS platforms, and in this way, links can be formed in countless cases. The guiding value of Project Hashtag is an attitude and practice that transcends traditional definitions and boundaries, just like a label, creating a structure that enables unpredictable connections and communication. Project Hashtag 2024 is a project that supports collaboration between creators, curators, and researchers in various fields, rather than focusing on traditional pure visual art, and involves a differentiated platform through which expanded artistic possibilities are explored. We also hope to actively embrace free sharing between different fields and further conduct marginal experiments on tensions and conflicts that arise within them. Project Hashtag 2024 opened for public submissions in March 2024. This year's applicants proposed not only convergence projects using the latest technologies such as generative AI, metaverse, and games, but also social experiments that address pressing contemporary issues. In particular, people's tendency to look at social issues such as new environments, interpersonal relationships, and changes in values ​​brought about by the introduction of AI technology into daily life from different perspectives, and to seek community solidarity through interaction with others was very evident. In the Project Hashtag 2024 showcase, "Wish Office (Kim Raeo, Choi Joonseong, Seo Jinkyu, Seo John, Oh Saeol), Playing Art Method (Cho Hoyoun, Kim Youngju, Rhee Sei)", proposed different themes in their own way through the medium of "games", introducing the projects of Ho-yeon Jo, Young-ju Kim, and Se-ok Lee. "Wish Office" builds a "wish world", a virtual world where everyone's wishes can come true. We proposed a social experiment game that examines modern society through the language of games, in which individual efforts are easily frustrated. The "Playing Art Method" addresses the problems that arise when games are displayed as works in art galleries, creating meaningful discourse through exhibitions, workshops and other methods to form a loose learning community.
