About the Video
Guiding us through "MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2023: Jung Yeondoo - One Hundred Years of Travels," Jung Yeondoo reflects on the creative processes, historical contexts, and intellectual concerns which inform each work within his exhibition.
The journey begins with the enduring story of Korean immigration a hundred years ago and progresses to the imaginary songs of recent young migrants to Korea in 2023. With this film, Jung interweaves themes of migration, diaspora, music, and cultural interchange, forming the essence of this year's MMCA Hyundai Motor Series.

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.
