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.

Very satisfied, every time I go to Seoul, I go to Aibao Paradise. Although Fubao has returned home, there are other pandas and grandpas. In addition to Panda Paradise, there are many outdoor amusement projects, and the dining price is reasonable.

The performance was really wonderful!!! I bought the 20:00 show and can pick up the tickets at 19:30. They are all packed in an envelope in advance. Just tell the name of the lady at the front desk.
You are not allowed to take photos or videos during the whole process, but it is really wonderful. I can&#39;t express it in words, hahaha. I was lucky enough to interact with them. I was so happy. Be bold. As long as you extend your hand, they will basically give you a high five🖐🏻

Gyeongbokgung Palace

Ricky+小林先生

What attractions in Seoul are worth visiting? It is estimated that it is Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Qingwatai, Korean Folk Museum and Modern Art Museum are connected together. You can go shopping together. The whole Gyeongbokgung Palace is still quite big, a little bit small. The feeling of the Temple of Heaven, tickets 3,000 won, If you wear traditional Korean clothes for free tickets, the whole trip is about 1 hour, and it is very good to take pictures everywhere~
