The Busan Museum of Art hosts the "My Young & Sad Day" exhibition from March 10 to August 6, 2023, in the grand exhibition room on the third floor of the main building. The exhibition aims to introduce the experimental spirit and original works of three talented artists – Doki Kim, Minwook Oh, and Junghwan Cho, all of Busan-based. Over 70 new works, including paintings, media, installation, and video, will be showcased at the exhibition.
The "Young Perspective and New Perspective" is a representative program of the Busan Museum of Art. It first started in March 1999, and over the past 20 years, it has produced about 70 artists through 16 exhibitions, with the goal of discovering and introducing talented local artists.
The younger generation today faces many challenges, including anxiety and depression, as they ride a roller coaster of debt flood and bubble collapse, facing the dead end of population cliff and local extinction. The works of young artists reflect these challenges, particularly after the significant shrinking of the culture and art world due to the pandemic. The exhibition title "My Young & Sad Day" was revised from the original title "Sad Our Young Day," which was a collection of graffiti poems that were popular in college districts in the 1980s. The exhibition aims to call for changing the focus from "us" back to "my" and facing the reality of today, where we cannot even share our sadness.
The participating artists are all self-reflecting and seeking new ways to recognize the collapsing world. Doki Kim reflects on a precarious life through non-human beings, Minwook Oh re-establishes the relationship between the world and the self by subjectively montage history, and Junghwan Cho dramatically accelerates the old futurist imagination. The exhibition is divided into three parts: acceleration, energy flow and impression. "Acceleration" deals with the ontological shift to reach the world after marginal speed, "energy flow" to the world, and "impression" deals with the attitude of grasping after history. The three artists participate in this subject separately and together.
The exhibition also includes various programs, including the screening of Minwook Oh's feature film on weekends in the auditorium on the first basement floor of the art museum from April, artist talks from the end of May, and a symposium in June on the subject of young artists and local art practice. Through the young and new perspectives of the three artists, the exhibition hopes to not only show the new face of the Busan art world but also the concerns of the youth generation today.
