The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul will present a new site-specific work by Kim Christine Son, titled ‘Stubborn Rock, Reckless Fights’, as part of the MMCA×LG OLED Series 2026. The exhibition is set to open on July 31, 2026, at Seoul Box, described by the museum as one of its flagship spaces.
The announcement places the project within MMCA’s ongoing collaboration with LG OLED, a series that brings new commissions into the museum’s program. In this case, the focus is a work made specifically for the site rather than a pre-existing installation, signaling an exhibition shaped around the architectural and spatial conditions of Seoul Box.
Kim Christine Son’s contribution is presented under the title ‘Stubborn Rock, Reckless Fights’, and the museum’s framing identifies it as a new work. No further details about the content, materials, or installation have been provided in the source information, but the site-specific designation indicates that the piece is intended to respond directly to the venue.
MMCA Seoul, which is based in South Korea’s capital, regularly uses its major exhibition spaces to highlight contemporary artistic practices through museum-commissioned projects and partnerships. The MMCA×LG OLED Series 2026 continues that model by pairing the institution’s platform with a newly commissioned work by an individual artist.
The only verified date given for the project is the opening on July 31, 2026, at Seoul Box. No closing date has been announced in the source material, and no additional programming or related events were listed alongside the exhibition notice.
The exhibition title, ‘Stubborn Rock, Reckless Fights’, appears as the central identifying element of the commission, with Kim Christine Son credited as the artist and MMCA×LG OLED Series 2026 as the presenting framework. The museum’s announcement confirms the project as a new site-specific work at Seoul Box starting July 31, 2026.
