About the Video
For the MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2022, Choe U-Ram reflects on our current moment of socio-political, economic, and climate crises to propose alternative ways forward for humanity.
The centerpiece of the exhibition is the eponymous Little Ark, constructed with recycled cardboard boxes, heavy iron, and cutting-edge robotics technology. Inspired by cardboard boxes used to ship online purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic, the sculpture moves in concert with other kinetic works, reminding us of the ways in which our systems are interconnected.

About the Program
The MMCA Hyundai Motor Series is a pivotal part of the decade-long partnership between MMCA and Hyundai Motor, which aims to expand the field of Korean contemporary art and its role in the broader global dialogue. Each year, MMCA Seoul presents a major solo exhibition featuring new works by a Korean artist or collective. Accompanied by seminars and publications, this platform offers audiences an immersive encounter with the prevailing currents and vibrancy of Korean art today. The series began in 2014 with a groundbreaking exhibition by Lee Bul, followed by Ahn Kyuchul, Kimsooja, IM Heung-soon, CHOIJEONGHWA, Park Chan-kyong, Haegue Yang, MOON Kyungwon & JEON Joonho, and Choe U-Ram, and culminates in 2023-4 with Jung Yeondoo.
