The Jeonbuk Provincial Museum of Art (Director Lee Ae-seon) will hold an exhibition of its collection titled "We Know How to Enjoy the Olympic Festival Too" at the Jeonbuk Provincial Government Exhibition Hall from the 19th. This exhibition contains the stories of Jeonbuk artists who raised issues with the art projects concentrated in the capital region during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and independently organized an Olympic commemorative exhibition.

At that time, artists from Jeonbuk, such as Hwang So-yeon, Kim Su-ja, and Hong Hyeon-cheol, who were young and middle-aged, formed a joint South Korea-Japan Modern Art Exhibition Operating Committee with the Japanese Ida Art Research Association and held the "88 Seoul Olympics Art Festival - South Korea-Japan Modern Art Exhibition" at the Jeonbuk Arts Center. In the preface to this exhibition, they boldly urged to take pride in 'being active in the region.'

This exhibition will feature two works by Moon Bok-cheol and Choi Won, which were exhibited at the time, as well as 18 works by Jeonbuk artists who participated in the exhibition 37 years ago and have now become senior artists, showcasing their works from the 2000s.

It has been about six months since Jeonbuk Province was selected as a candidate city for the 2036 Summer Olympics. The Jeonbuk artists who stayed on the outskirts during the 88 Seoul Olympics have finally come closer to the center of the festival. This exhibition also carries the meaning of their hope to become the protagonists of the Olympic art festival in 2036.

The exhibition will run until the morning of the 29th at the 1st floor exhibition hall of the Jeonbuk Provincial Government, operating from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On weekends and public holidays, it will be closed, and admission is free. For inquiries, contact 290-6878.
