Virtual Museum

For this assignment, I chose to go to the Korean Modern and Contemporary Art Exhibit online. The different pieces featured were all unique but for this post I will only focus on the following 3:

Panoramic view of the eye view of the times: This piece was actually made during the pandemic in 2020. There isn’t much info on it on the website but it consists of 8 blue bars lying on the floor.

Pride Series: This piece was made in 1993. It consists of 6 miniature table tennis courts in a row from each other. Each of the tables has text on the side for each stage of pride, including Pride, Big Pride, Super Pride, Ultra Pride, New Pride, and Double Pride. The tables were meant to represent how meaningless the concept of pride is.

Cinemagician: This piece was made in 2010. It was a performance with Korean actor Jung Yeon-doo recorded on video and lasting for about 50 minutes. The actor first got a feel for the pressures of acting here as she had no experience beforehand aside from another play she starred in called Monster.
