Event

The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Korea announces the opening of the exhibition “Bang Hai Ja: Sowing Light Across Heaven and Earth,” dedicated to the work of artist Bang Hai Ja.

This exhibition offers a broad overview of her artistic universe, marked by a continuous exploration of light as the central theme of her practice. Moving between Korea and France, Bang Hai Ja has developed a singular body of work at the intersection of cultures and sensibilities, where light becomes at once material, energy, and a spiritual language.

Organized on the occasion of the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and France, the exhibition forms part of a broader celebration of cultural exchange between the two countries. It provides a valuable opportunity to reflect on the history of this cooperation and to highlight the artistic dialogues that have shaped it.

The exhibition opening will bring together figures from the cultural, institutional, and artistic spheres, underscoring the significance of this event within the contemporary cultural landscape
