Who ever said museums have to be serious?
Seoul Museum of Art in Seosomun-dong, central Seoul, took a departure from the stereotype and let witty toy figures invade its front yard at "ART IN BLOOM: The Storming Party in Art Museum."
Black suited men stand at the entrance as if guarding the scene of aggression. Legs crawl out under puffy white clouds floating above the grass. Next to the weeping baby panda whose mother tries to haul it into the museum, three carefree beavers enjoy their tea-time.
More than 50 cheerful sculptures, installations and videos by 12 young artists are strewn around the museum. Some of the participating artists like Kim Young and Sticky Monster Lab are fairly acclaimed among digital animations and toy figures fans.
"The goal of this show is to attack elitism and high-end art symbolized by the museum through these images and works which look like they popped out of animations," said exhibition curator Kim Woo-im.
The exhibition runs through June 14 at the front yard of Seoul Museum of Art in Seosomun-dong, central Seoul. For more information, call (02) 2124-8800 or visit www.seoulmoa.org
