The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, has announced a discussion tied to its exhibition 'Road Movie: Post-1945 Korean-Japanese Art', featuring participating artist Jung Yeondoo. The museum said the conversation will center on Jung’s 2014 work 'A Walk with the Magician', with the exhibition’s curator, Jeon Yusin, serving as moderator.
According to the museum’s announcement, the session is designed to explore the work through the lens of memory and encounters between Korea and Japan. The post frames the discussion around the artwork itself and the relationships and experiences it evokes across the two countries.
'Road Movie: Post-1945 Korean-Japanese Art' is the broader exhibition context for the event, and the discussion places one of its participating artists in direct conversation with the curator who organized the show. That setup indicates a program focused not only on the artwork’s formal qualities, but also on the ideas and histories that the exhibition has gathered together.
Jung Yeondoo’s 'A Walk with the Magician' dates from 2014, and MMCA Seoul is using it as the point of departure for the talk. The museum has not provided additional public details in the announcement about the format, length, or full schedule of the program.
The announcement identifies Jeon Yusin as the moderating curator, linking the event to the exhibition’s curatorial perspective. No further speaker list was given beyond Jung and Jeon, and the museum’s post does not specify whether the discussion will be open to the public or limited to a particular audience.
The event is presented by MMCA Seoul, part of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in South Korea, which regularly stages exhibitions and public programs around contemporary art and art history. In this case, the museum’s notice keeps the focus tightly on the exhibition and on Jung’s work, inviting attention to 'A Walk with the Magician' as a key point of reflection within 'Road Movie: Post-1945 Korean-Japanese Art'.
