AYA - 전시투어 (금호미술관, 아라리오뮤지엄)

-

두 달에 걸친 예술의 전당 - 문화 예술 전문인력 향상 과정에 AYA도 매주 유익한 특강을 들었습니다. 이 과정은 문화 예술 관련 제직자의 직무 능력 향상을 높이기 위한 훈련이고 대상은 예술의 전당과 협약을 맺은 기관, 기업, 단체의 종사자 및 제직자분들입니다.

​

 AYA는 2009년 브라운갤러리를 시작으로 수년간 갤러리 운영 및 그림에 빠져있다보니, 이런 좋은 프로그램이 있는 지 한참 뒤에 알 수 있었습니다. 안다 한들 참여할 시간적, 마음적인 여유가 없었습니다. 올해 아니면 영영 참여할 기회가 없을것 같아 무리수를 두고 협력사와 함께 수강을 하였습니다. 문화 예술 종사자들과의 만남과 예술 사업 전반의 흐름과 동향은 물론 신세계를 경험할 수 있었습니다. 종일 수업에 다 참여를 못한 아쉬움이 남지만, AYA의 앞으로 활동 향방과 발전에 있어 지데한 영향을 끼칠 소중한 시간이었습니다. 수업이 끝으로 가면서 프리다칼로 관람과 금호미술관, 아라리오 뮤지엄 투어 시간도 마련되었는데 그 중 최근에 방문한 금호미술관과 아라리오 뮤지엄에 들렀던 시간을 포스팅하게 되었습니다.

 

금호미술관에서의 의자컬렉션 전시는 아이들과 함께 관람하면 좋을 전시인 'BIG: Kids and Design' 이 9월11일까지 전시한다고 합니다. 아이들 의자를 주제로 의자로서의 실용성과 놀이가 접목된 가구 디자인의 변화와 함께 국내 가구 디자이너 6명의 현대 작품까지 관람할 수 있었습니다.

​

금호미술관과 가까운 아라리오 뮤지엄의 관람까지 이어졌습니다. 전시명 'Really?' 는 크고 작은 공간들이 오밀조밀하게 얽혀있는 건물 내부를 삼각형과 나선형으로 이루어진 계단을 통해 오르내리며 마치 현대미술을 위한 미로를 탐험하는 듯한 경험을 할 수 있게 특색있는 공간이였습니다. 이 곳에서 AYA는 작품의 충격적인 신선함에 놀라기도 하며 다양한 느낌의 작품 관람을 할 수 있었습니다. 또한 작품 매체의 다양한 경험으로 현대미술을 느끼며 오늘날의 작가의 삶과 예술에 관심을 기울여 봅니다. 전시관람을 마무리하며 AYA는 앞으로 있을 다양한 아트 프로젝트 기획에 있어 그 깊이를 더해봅니다.

AYA had a very valuable lecture at Seoul Arts Center’s ‘improvement course for professionals of culture and art’, which spanned for two months. The purpose of this course was mainly for training the professionals working in the culture-and-art-related career to help them improve their capability. The target participants were employees and members who are from organizations, corporations, and associations in partnership with Seoul Arts Center.

​

 AYA found out that there is such a course available to take only recently since AYA was deeply into running the gallery and art itself since the opening of Brown Gallery in 2009. Even if I knew, there was neither spare time nor that I was able to relax mentally to participate in such an informative course. I finally decided to participate this time with our cooperative company, however, because I felt like I would never be able to after this year. It was such an amazing experience to have an opportunity to meet lots of other professionals working in the same art and culture field, and to learn about the general currents and trends of the art industry. It was a priceless experience that will greatly affect AYA’s future career path and our development even though it was a little disappointing that we could not participate for the whole day. Towards the end of the course, there were opportunities to see an exhibition of Frida Kahlo, and to have tours of Kumho Museum of Art, and Arario Museum. So I decided to post and share with you the experience of visiting Kumho Museum of Art and Arario Museum.

​

The chair collection exhibition called ‘BIG: Kids and Design’, which will be displayed until September 11th, at Kumho Museum of Art seemed like a perfect exhibition to visit with children. From learning the history and the transition of chair design that include both practical use and playful elements to other current work of the designers, you will have a chance to see diverse work of six furniture designers of Korea.

​

After, we went to Arario Museum, which is located pretty close to Kumho Museum of Art. The exhibition titled as ‘Really?’ was made of small and big spaces that were connected elaborately throughout the building by triangular and spiral stairs. It was very unique space since it made us feel like we were going on an adventure in a maze made for modern art. Getting surprised and amazed at the shocking freshness of the work, AYA was able to enjoy the exhibition that had various impressions. It also made me take some time to take an interest in today’s artists’ lives and art itself after having time to experience the modern art. It was an unforgettable time and learning that we will treasure and remember for AYA’s future path; we are very excited to take our steps more in depth for the upcoming projects of our own!
