《소장품, 시대의 장면들》은 아르코미술관 소장품 가운데 70점을 선별해, 한국 현대미술의 주요한 흐름과 아르코미술관의 전시 역사 속에서 소장품이 지닌 의미와 가치를 조명한다. 1970년대부터 2000년대까지 아르코미술관 전시에 참여했던 작가 60인의 작품을 따라, 그 시기 한국 현대미술의 다양한 경향과 작가들의 예술적 성취를 다시 들여다본다. 작품 곁에는 작가들의 활동과 미술관의 전시사를 보여주는 아카이브 자료가 함께 배치 된다. 여기에 외부 연구자들이 이번 전시를 위해 진행한 소장품 연구 성과가 더해져, 한국 현대미술의 다층적인 이야기를 펼쳐진다.
The Korea Tourism Organization’s helpline answers in English, Japanese and Chinese around the clock, and in several other languages from 08:00 to 19:00. Dial 1330 from a Korean phone, or +82-2-1330 from a phone registered abroad.
112 for police, 119 for fire and ambulance. Both are free from any phone. Police on 112 can add an English or Chinese interpreter to the call.
Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.
Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
