In the 17th century, a new type of white porcelain with a beveled surface emerged. These wheel-forged vessels were "chamfered" into octagonal, or, in rare cases, hexagonal, or even decagonal, shapes. In a society that emphasized frugality, we hope you'll appreciate the subtle elegance of this white porcelain, created through the harmonious blend of angles and surfaces achieved through the chamfering technique.

This exhibition showcases paintings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, spanning French Impressionism and Modernism, collected by American financier Robert Ryman. These works sparked a wave of innovation in France at the turn of the century, deeply captivating Robert Ryman.

The Seoul Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition "A World Within Reach," showcasing contemporary art from the United Arab Emirates. "A World Within Reach" brings together works by over 40 artists spanning three generations, all intricately connected to the UAE—a Gulf nation. In the half-century since its founding, immigration, abundant natural resources, and rapid urban transformation have intertwined to shape its unique character. Created collaboratively by artists and curators, the exhibition is divided into three sections, exploring the phenomena arising from the intersection of the individual, society, and city—three realms that are both unstable and subjective. From the most intimate and imaginative themes to the most geopolitically significant and fundamental ones, artists and curators explore how to maintain interpersonal relationships and avoid homogenization through close interaction.

Since 2024, Devsisters has been collaborating with numerous inheritors of intangible cultural heritage skills and contemporary artists.

The Running Gingerbread Man character is reinterpreted through sand painting, mother-of-pearl lacquerware, powder blue sandware, gold leaf crafts, traditional masks, Hanji (traditional Korean paper), embroidery, and painted horn crafts.

In his solo exhibition in Seoul, Lee Chung focuses on the "beautiful" appearances of fashion models, saleswomen, and middle-class vacationers, posed in "ritualistic" poses for use on "social media." These images are intertwined with the image of brocade—traditional Chinese "economic planning" era travel attire—and include former city landmarks like Seoul's Lotte World Tower… In fact, in his paintings, these images are transformed into empty symbols, sacrificing their essential existence to become mirrored illusions of the desires of the other. They are offerings to the world's march towards an unknown and dangerous future of "slave rituals." The defense of these "slave rituals" coincides with the Chinese Lunar New Year, a festival celebrated by both Chinese and Koreans with hopes for blessings. How much must we sacrifice in total to obtain these blessings?
