Gwacheon Museum's 40th Anniversary Project: Imaginaries of Light
과천관 40주년 프로젝트: 빛의 상상들
Marking 40 years, the Gwacheon Museum of Modern Art reimagines its experience by exploring the dialogue between nature, architecture, and art. Multiple immersive projects unfold across the site: installations in the sculpture park foster new encounters with artworks, while light becomes the central thread exploring the museum's public spaces. Specialized projects showcase works by James Turrell and Iván Navarro, deepening inquiry into perception and spatial experience. These exhibitions are complemented by special screenings, participatory archives, and children's programs, reaffirming the museum's experimental and public mission.
