Spanning four floors of Daelim Museum, the exhibition brings together Pablo Picasso's ceramics, Roy Lichtenstein's paintings, monochrome works by Lee Ufan and Park Seo-Bo, and Nam June Paik's video art installations. Each floor explores a different theme, allowing visitors to experience the flow of contemporary art as they ascend. Nam June Paik's TV Buddha and TV Tower series return to Korean audiences, a reunion long awaited.
Kim Tschang-Yeul's sculpture Bin-aida makes its debut here. Known primarily for his water-drop paintings, Kim's venture into sculpture reveals another facet of his practice. Picasso's ceramic plate, with a face carved in relief, also draws attention. It demonstrates how the artist moved freely across mediums beyond painting.
Live performances and cultural programs, including classical and jazz concerts, will accompany the exhibition. Admission is free. The show runs through May 30, 2027, at Daelim Museum, located at 21 Jahamun-ro 4-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Why not spend this weekend with art in Seochon?
