Exploring Goesan: A Visit to the Goesan Ecology Museum
Goesan Ecology Museum: A Must-See Destination
The Goesan Ecology Museum is hosting a special exhibition, <SNAP SHARE SAVE – What Remains for Us is Love>, to commemorate its opening.
This exhibition focuses on climate change and endangered animals, featuring a total of 206 works by 8 domestic and international artists.
Through various art forms such as paintings, sculptures, photographs, and media art, visitors can reflect on the relationship between humans, nature, and life. It's particularly great for kids, making it a recommended Goesan attraction for families!
Koh Sang-woo
Koh Sang-woo, known as a 'pioneer of figurative photography,' creates blue-toned animal images using reversal techniques.
The animals in his works emit a surreal light and possess eyes that seem to resemble the human soul.
By recreating endangered animals, he emphasizes that their existence is no different from our own.
When you encounter his work, your eyes are initially captivated by the vibrant colors, but you soon feel a sense of sadness and responsibility.
Koh Sang-woo's works at the Goesan Ecology Museum captivate with their splendid colors and familiarity.
Keum Joong-ki
Keum Joong-ki's works feature animal sculptures characterized by intense primary colors and artificial gloss.
Animals placed in cold, shiny textures, deviating from their natural colors, illustrate how the advancement of technological civilization threatens ecological diversity.
His work strongly reveals the impact of human activities on the environment, providing not only artistic appreciation but also a sense of awareness. Comparing the owl resembling a person with its appearance in nature adds an element of fun.
Flora Borsi
This exhibition also includes works by foreign artists! Flora Borsi from Hungary is well-known for her 'animeyed' series, which combines human and animal eyes.
The works convey a powerful image as animal eyes overlap with human faces, seemingly exchanging gazes. In front of the artwork, you naturally imagine, "If I were an animal, how would I see the world?"
Ahn Yoon-mo
Ahn Yoon-mo warmly expresses the value of 'coexistence' by depicting animals in familiar everyday scenes. Animals spending time in cafes or relaxing in the forest show lives not so different from humans.
His paintings bring a smile, and children can easily relate to them!
If you're looking for a place to visit in Goesan with children, Ahn Yoon-mo's artwork space, which kids can enjoy, is highly recommended.
Jang Duk-jin
Jang Duk-jin explores the boundaries between humans and animals through videos, installations, and ceramic sculptures. The otter-shaped sculptures are cute and humorous, yet they remind us of the preciousness of life disappearing from our side.
Works featuring small animals perched on traditional white porcelain contain both Korean sentiment and modern messages.
Jang Jae-yeon
Environmental scientist Jang Jae-yeon presents photographs of marine life taken through over 800 dives in the past 10 years. This exhibition features a selection of 22 pieces!
You can encounter familiar marine creatures such as manta rays, whitetip reef sharks, butterfly fish, and anemone fish.
Kim Chang-kyum
Kim Chang-kyum's work is realized in 3D animation. The video, combining colorful objects and light, conveys a sense of mystery as if entering a mandala universe. Through the brilliant colors and movements unfolding before your eyes, you can feel the cycle and harmony of life.
The special exhibition at the Goesan Ecology Museum is a great place to visit with children, offering many works that will captivate their eyes and provide an opportunity to learn about the importance of environmental awareness along with the splendor.
Cho Se-min
Lastly, Cho Se-min's work is one of the children's favorite corners. In the 'World of Coexistence in Virtual Space,' composed of media art and installations, children can interact with the artwork by moving their bodies. The sight of animals in the screen moving along with the audience's movements brings great joy to the children. If you are looking for an interactive exhibition to visit in Goesan with children, Cho Se-min's artwork space is perfect.
This special exhibition at the Goesan Ecology Museum was a place of experience containing messages of environment and life. I was able to watch the works with my child and have a natural conversation, and it also left a deep reflection for adults.
If you are looking for a place to visit in Goesan with children, we highly recommend visiting the Goesan Ecology Museum SNAP SHARE SAVE special exhibition currently open.
