Visitor information

Opening hours and admission should be confirmed before visiting.

Lacquer work and process film

Kim extends the traditional lacquer techniques of metal craft into painting, installation and video. Her “cell” form begins with the idea of a biological cell and extends to the self and the sea.

Moon Gallery shows the finished works, while Silver Screen shows how their surfaces are made, presenting the same practice at two different speeds.

Artist talks Oct. 10–11

According to the museum’s notice, Kim will lead exhibition talks on Saturday, October 10, and Sunday, October 11, at 15:00 and 17:00 each day, discussing her materials and process.

Individual visitors can buy tickets at the door without booking. No separate conditions for joining the talks have been announced.

Visitor information

The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:30–19:00, and closed Mondays; holiday hours may differ. General admission is ₩12,000, including a drink and dessert, and ₩6,000 for children 12 and under.

The address is 37 Munhyeong-Dongnim-ro 101beon-gil, Mohyeon-eup, Cheoin-gu, Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do. Parking is free. Touching the works is not permitted, and food and drinks are limited to the café.

Fashion KODE 2027 S/S takes place October 14–16 at Tex+FA in Seoul. “2027 S/S” refers to the collection season; the event is in October 2026. Organizers said 81 brands will take part in the international trade exhibition.

The new Presentation Show introduces each brand’s design and concept at close range rather than on a runway. Nine brands, including Edwardmax, Dallado and Hyunzo Ha, are scheduled to take part. The format gives designers more room to explain collections to buyers directly.

The runway program includes collaborations between Chromophobia and Jennyhouse on October 14 and between MAN.G Studio and Daybreak on October 15. Buyers, press and other fashion professionals can register in advance on the official website or on site. Admission for the general public was not announced. The venue is at 518 Teheran-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The exhibition, titled “Cluster: Six Scenes” in English on its poster, is in SOMA’s second building. It treats the shifting view as visitors walk among the sculptures as part of the experience. About 80 sculptures, installations and media works are on view, anchored by 55 holdings from the MMCA Art Bank and Government Art Bank.

The first section presents the works together as a shared landscape. The second turns to six artists: Kim Byungho on urban order, Jung Jungju on light and space, Shin Kunwoo on time and erosion, Choi Xooang on the formation of figures, Kim Kira on nature and industry, and Na Jeomsu on traces and lines.

Placing dissimilar works side by side, the show examines sculpture at a time when no single material or technique defines it.

Moving a few steps to the side of a work brings other sculptures into its background or reveals surfaces that were hidden. The same piece reads differently depending on where the viewer stands.

The show runs through May 30, 2027. Hours are 10:00–18:00, with last entry at 17:00; it is closed Mondays. Standard admission is KRW 8,000.

The official exhibition page lists free entry on Culture Day, October 17, a 50% discount for groups of 20 or more, and free admission for school groups. Group reservation rules and proof required for concessions are listed on that page.

The exhibition starts from modest everyday things: a favorite character, a plant seen on a walk, an object someone threw away. The twelve works span painting, sculpture, installation and drawing.

Kim Sapi translates attachment to subculture characters into brushwork and visual form. Kim Yeonjin works from bodily experience and inner change, and Hong Ika imagines future plants from what she observes on walks.

Hwang Yeonju uses discarded objects collected at redevelopment sites to show traces left by others. The four share a neighborhood but differ in how they record memory.

Microtrace is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00–18:00, through October 30, with free admission. It is closed Sundays and Mondays; Saturday, October 10, is an opening day.

The venue is Sanggye Art Space, 41-7 Sanggye-ro 10-gil, Nowon-gu, Seoul. Inquiries: Nowon Cultural Foundation, 02-2289-3459.
