The Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA), a network of museums and art-focused entities scattered across the capital and operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, unveiled its lineup of major exhibitions and initiatives for this year on Tuesday.As part of its thematic agenda for 2024, the museum is rolling out a slate of shows exploring architecture.One of the highlights will be a retrospective of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect Norman Foster at the SeMA’s main Seosomun branch in April.The British architect is behind some of the most iconic contemporary landmark designs around the world, such as the UFO-shaped Apple headquarters in California and the glass-domed Reichstag building in Berlin.Co-organized with Foster + Partners, the survey focuses on the 88-year-old’s designs of public architecture and cultural facilities, including museums.“ casinositezone The retrospective aims to present Foster’s philosophy of sustainability and reflections on the future of architecture through his major ‘high-tech’ projects since the 1960s,” SeMA said in a statement.In December, Seoul-born, New York-based artist Kim Sung-hwan will have his first public museum exhibition in Korea.At the heart of this show lies the latest video work from his ongoing multi-part research project, “A Record Drifting Across the Sea” (2017–). Kim will reinterpret the layered histories of Korean immigration to Hawaii at the turn of the 20th century into architectural and spatial designs. One initiative the museum is pushing is to foster a new level of connection among its scattered branches, particularly through the large-scale showcase of its collection titled “SeMA Omniverse.”Held simultaneously across the four outposts — the main Seosomun branch, Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, Nam-Seoul Museum of Art and Art Archives — it is set to introduce an array of pieces that best resonate with the characteristics of each branch.
“This is the first time we are mounting a collection showcase spanning multiple venues,” said Choi Eun-ju, SeMA’s general director. Other notable shows in the 2024 roster include a group exhibition in August devoted to modern women artists, who have played a pivotal yet underrepresented role in shaping the genre of traditional Korean paintings.In celebration of the centennial of Chun Kyung-ja’s birth (1924–2015), one of the few towering women creatives in Korea renowned for her distinctly saturated paintings of women, snakes and flowers, the show will display the works of Chun alongside Shim Kyung-ja, Kim Bo-hie, Jung Jong-mee and Choi Hae-ri.Starting this year, the museum will also initiate touring exhibitions in collaboration with overseas institutions.Tentatively titled “The Upside Down,” the four-person showcase featuring emerging artists previously selected for the museum’s Nanji Residency program will travel to three Korean Cultural Centers in Hong Kong and Japan’s Tokyo and Osaka from June to November.Finally, the museum is set to inaugurate a new venue in November — the Seoul Museum of Photography in the city’s Dobong District — as the first public 온라인카지노 institution in Korea dedicated to the art and history of photography.
