Aiming for a future art museum, Ulsan Art Museum exhibits about 29 collections of the museum collected during preparations for its opening. The collection exhibition provides an opportunity to look into the direction of the museum's collection and to explore the future of the museum. The spirit of the 21st century pursuing the coexistence of technology and human beings is the philosophical background of the Ulsan Museum of Art, which aims to be a media art specialized museum. The Ulsan Art Museum strives to become Asia's best collection museum by acquiring artworks that stand out from both aesthetic and sociological perspectives reflecting the contemporary cultural context through a fair and transparent process. The Ulsan Art Museum's collection mainly consists of videos, VR (virtual reality), installation, and interactive digital artworks produced based on experimental technical media by renowned domestic and international artists. This clearly depicts Ulsan, a city of culture and art where advanced technology and nature develop in harmony. Meanwhile, the exhibition is placed at the former Ulsan Education and Training Institute in Daewangam Park, where Ulsan's cultural and spiritual heritage is accumulated. At the representative cultural asset of Ulsan where Ulsan citizens enjoy visiting, the museum aims to hold an exhibition of sharing and empathy while inducing interest and participation of citizens. The combination of artistic content and the site full of eco-tourism and historical resources will highlight the city Ulsan and its attraction. |
