The Seoul Museum of Art has announced the three artistic directors of the 13th Seoul Mediacity Biennale, which will be held from August 26 to November 30 next year. They are artist and filmmaker Anton Vidokle, curator and art historian Hallie Ayres, and film curator Lukas Brasiskis. The three were selected from 66 international open calls for applications. They proposed the concept of "exhibition-as-séance" and aim to "break away from the concept of biennials under contemporary neoliberalism and construct an enhanced experience where awakened life and the intertwined world of the superhuman arena". They point out that "these ideas are related to some important contemporary discourses, from feminism to indigenous struggles, from anti-capitalism to postcolonialism", and they plan to use "the aesthetics of spiritualism and animism to critically intervene in dominant discourses such as capitalism, materialism, postcolonialism and contemporary technology".

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's MultiArt 2024 "Space Elevator" is a project that explores another reality universe and the feelings associated with it. The project will be held every month from May this year to February next year. What is the "reason" and "methodology" that humans should leave the self-satisfied earth and move towards a new reality-the universe? MultiArt 2024 may be unfamiliar to us, but surprisingly, we focus on the interesting concept of "space elevator" that has been discussed for a long time in engineering.

Around 1467, the Joseon royal family established the official kiln, or royal porcelain kiln, in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do, to produce white porcelain for the palace.

By collecting the fragments of the golden relic, you can learn about the white porcelain produced by the golden relic, such as the moon jar.

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art preserves and manages more than 10,000 collections and displays works through various exhibitions. In addition, we strive not only to manage the collections but also to systematize auxiliary information related to the works. Information such as titles, specifications, and materials are located in the exhibition's proposition sheet and help to assist in understanding the works. In particular, the title is like a messenger between the artist, the work, and the audience. In fact, the name is also related to the birth of the museum. As art museums moved from private to public ownership, property rights became a necessary condition for managing and guiding works, and the technical standards and information systematization of collection works as public goods also became one of the important roles of art museums. The exhibition "The Art of Naming" aims to classify the titles in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art that visitors may find difficult, question their practicality, and clarify naming in the creative field. In works of art, titles directly affect the interpretation of the work more than other genres. In particular, the titles of modern art sometimes inspire philosophical thinking by becoming objects of suspicion rather than clearly expressing their meaning. The three types of titles for this exhibition (Untitled, Symbol, and Sentence) capture the characteristics of each era and medium, and examine the expansion of the function of titles in artistic phenomena. In addition, the participation program "Name Game" that allows visitors to change the title of the work will widely expand the experience of viewing the work. Through this exhibition, we hope to re-recognize the title of the work, which is considered to be auxiliary information of the work, and discover various relationships between the work and the title.

People, living things will die. Death covers the faces of those who survived the eternal years. So I always feel strange about death. Death is the beginning of a journey to an unknown place. Facing death, the living are heartbroken, That journey cannot be taken together. You can only provide a companion for those who are leaving. The only friend on that road with no solution is. Just like the midwife accepted me and my parents guided me when I was born The moment this life ends and the underworld begins to breathe, the existence that accepts me and guides me, has prepared an exhibition introducing "puppets". The ancestors used the word "passing away" to describe it. This means that the place we go after death is ultimately where we came from. With various puppets on the journey of our souls returning home and the traditional worldview of Koreans now transformed into a beautiful cultural heritage display material I hope it will be a time to think about life and death
