About the Video
In NEWS FROM NOWHERE, FREEDOM VILLAGE, MOON & JEON approach art as a space for generating questions rather than fixed meanings. Centered on the conditions of uncertainty and isolation, the video reflects on how encounters with the work unfold through individual perception and thought. By inviting active engagement, it extends the exhibition’s inquiry into the viewer’s experience, asking what kinds of questions art can open—and what values might emerge—within times of crisis.

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.
