Exhibition Information

			《Where Should We Go》 is the first long-term project organized by Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art. With the forest surrounding the museum as the background, this is a new exhibition style aiming to show the process of assimilation sesitivity and memorable experiences to people through associations with the village neighboring the museum. 《Where Should We Go》 is also prepared as an extension of the 'Art Jeoji' project.

 

This exhibition consists of the works of sculptor Lee Seung Soo. The exhibited works titled <Where Should We Go>, the same as the exhibition title, comprise six sculptured groups created from waste and cement alongside six group works created using Jeju volanic rock. The works were first created with a critical mind on 'development and preservation', the contradictory issue faced by Jeju Island faces, and we were submitted to the 2019 Busan Sea Art Festival. This exhibition is unconventional in that changes in the artworks can be observed through the passage of time. Both the restorative force of nature and its process of healing will be recorded. This long-term exhibition will last about five years in the forest. This will be an opprtunity to reflect on environmental problems, major issues of the present day, through groups of sculptures that will change as we assimilate with natural objects, and moss and small plants grow on them as time passes.

 

Visitors to the museum will see vividly how the groups change as time goes by season after season, year after year. Hopefully, it will provide the chance to deeply sympathize with an awareness of the 'coexistence of life and nature.'
