Public Programs
Public Programs were planned with due regard to the function of the museum both as a public space to mediate art and an educational institution.

17. Kim Wol-sik Kindergarten for Adults
21 Jul-10 Sep Mon-Fri 2pm, Weekends 4pm
Wol-Sik Kim’s Kindergarten for Adults is a performance based on the artist’s reinterpretation of “Kindergarten der Altern,” the phrase appearing in Paik’s 1963 solo exhibition poster. A docent program is provided during the festival. By attempting at a critical reflection on the audience’s attitude toward contemporary art as well as the culture of the museum to mediate art, the performance materializes the artist’s view of an artist as “an artist as a mediator” and discloses and intervenes in the relationship among the audience, artists, and museums.

18. Yangachi, Movie, Round, Smooth and Truly Aristocratic
21 Jul-10 Sep Mon-Sun 1pm, 3pm
Media artist Yangachi’s Movie, Round, Smooth and Truly Aristocratic converts a specific space and situation of the NJP Art Center into a virtual reality and screens this special kind of reality. The visitors are given an audio guide and watch the ‘movie scenes’ played in the building of the center, coming into the ‘movie.’ The artist asks “Is it indeed possible to distinguish virtual reality from reality? Or, is what we see as real real?
