Cool off with the kids at exhibitions
One of the safest ways of entertaining kids who are already tired of the heat and bored with their long summer vacation could be taking them to a cool exhibition. Here are some exhibitions that are attracting the little ones.
Trick Art Exhibition
Water spills from cups and animals appear to be pushing through the walls -- all within the frames at “Trick Art Exhibition” currently underway at KINTEX in Goyang city, Gyeonggi Province.
The exhibition offers 160 paintings, media art and installations that create fun optical illusions. The key of making such trompe-l‘œil art is to make the painting as detailed as possible and to add a cover of special paint on top.
Divided into seven sections, the show covers pictures that feature animals, fish, dinosaurs, everyday objects and even parodied masterpieces.
SBS Play Science Experience Exhibition
KINTEX is also holding an exhibition that teaches kids all about cars, science and nature. “SBS Play Science Experience Exhibition” is divided into two sections -- Kids Motor Show and Play Pump.
At the Kids Motor Show section, Kids can see the insides of real cars and learn the basic science of cars by watching and performing various experiments.
Children can also learn road safety rules, draw their dream cars of the future and drive racing karts at a specially prepared track.
The Play Pump section features a special device from South Africa that pumps up water when kids play with it, turning on the knobs. Kids can naturally learn about the importance of water and saving the environment as they play, surrounded by endangered animal characters.
Neverland
Supported by Crown-Haitai Confectionery Co., Korea’s second-largest snack maker, Seoul Arts Center in Seocho-dong, southern Seoul, offers a unique exhibition titled “Neverland,” which is packed with 100 paintings, sculptures, installations and video works by 20 Korean artists that feature crackers and snack boxes.
A gigantic helicopter hangs from the ceiling and various animal models such as sheep, goats and donkeys are placed in every nook and corner with comical expressions on their faces. They are made of materials familiar to children -- sweets and cracker boxes.
A related exhibition is underway at the gallery in Crown-Haitai’s headquarters office in Namyoung-dong, Seoul, as well. It aims to educate kids on various art and scientific techniques while looking at exhibits and listening to fairytales about snacks and crackers.
“Trick Art Exhibition” runs through Aug. 20 at the third hall in KINTEX in Goyang city, Gyeonggi Province. The nearest subway station is Daehwa station, line number three, exits one and two. Tickets range from 6,000 won to 12,000 won. For more information, call (02) 789-1009 or visit www.mbctrickart.com.
