Before the 19th century, most paintings were based on historical, political, mythological and religious themes due to the influence of social and religious environments. However, after entering the 19th century, with the advancement of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization, the growth of the middle class allowed people to have more financial resources and began to enjoy various leisure activities. Impressionist painters came into being and depicted the daily lives and leisure time of these people on canvas. Breaking away from the academic style that dominated the art world at the time, the Impressionist painters were no longer confined to the studio, but turned their attention to nature where they could fully experience light, color and air. They particularly like to vividly depict Parisians enjoying their daily romance and leisure through scenes such as picnics, boating, sunbathing, cafes, streets and gardens. The media exhibition "Holiday in Paris: Holiday in Paris" reinterprets the works of French Impressionist representative painters Auguste Renoir, Edouard Manet, Georges Seurat and Gustave Caillebotte through immersive digital media art, and through interactive elements, it makes the audience feel as if they have traveled back to 19th century Paris and become the protagonists enjoying leisure in Impressionist works. Philosopher Hegel once said: "Rest is the most precious thing in the world." It is a great pleasure for human beings to have peace of mind, temporarily get rid of physical and mental fatigue, and enjoy their own rest time. For those modern people who are tired of endless life and work, entering the exhibition hall, immersing themselves in the works of representative painters of Impressionism, and feeling the romance and leisure of Paris will be an impulse to get rid of physical and mental fatigue. We hope that the Paris scenery against the backdrop of the Seine River, the leisurely boating scenes and the sunbathing scenes on the grass reproduced through immersive media art can provide modern people with an excellent space to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a rest.

The origin of Jinju Namgang Floating Lantern Festival is said to be a military tactic to prevent the Japanese army from crossing the Jinju Castle in 1592, and the soldiers used floating lanterns to inform their families of their safety. This is both a strategic tactic and a means of communication, and the Jinju Namgang Floating Lantern Festival has developed from this. This can prove to be the best festival in the world. Every autumn, as night falls, thousands of floating lanterns and night landscapes are illuminated in the Namgang River of Jinju. Wishing for peace and happiness for the country and family forever, the floating lanterns used in the Gaecheon Art Festival were further improved in 2000. After the preliminary festival in 2003, the cultivation festival in 2004, and the excellent festival in 2005, it was designated as an excellent cultural tourism festival by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for five consecutive years from 2006 to 2010, and was selected as the honorary representative festival of Korea in 2014. In addition, it was selected as the Korean Global Village Festival from 2015 to 2017, and it is gradually becoming one of the top five famous festivals in the world.

In the fast-paced modern society, personal life and leisure are more precious than ever. The breadwinners of the family who are busy with work are gradually alienated from their families, and the work messages that keep popping up on their mobile phones disrupt our rhythm of life. Under the pressure of responsibility, the weekend rest time that originally belonged to us often has to give way. The highly competitive social environment makes us unconsciously compare ourselves with others and ourselves, and measure ourselves by external standards. In this fast-paced urban life, having a period of rest time that belongs to us is becoming more and more precious, which is our pursuit of a more humane life. I also work hard on days without weekends. Occasionally when I go out, I always find that summer has already turned into winter, and winter has quietly turned into spring. The passing of time has gradually made me accustomed to it. In such a life, I release the energy that seems to be about to burst by riding a bicycle and skateboarding, and after clearing my mind, I return to work with a clearer mind. My work is based on the bits and pieces I have experienced in this rhythm of life, as well as the records of memories and residual impressions in my heart. When I see the lights of the city, I can't help but think of the crowd. The personality and vitality of the city come from people, and the little actions of people inject vitality into the streets. From the city with tall buildings and constant traffic, to the brownstone buildings with small trees and steps, and the park in the quiet evening, these are part of my daily life. This work incorporates the people I met in the city of New York, the exchanges with various cultures, and the emotions and personal moments I experienced in the changing environment. Standing in front of the blank canvas, I often think back to the moments that made me calm and the impressions left at that time. In the work, the lines and dots with strong rhythm, the traces of movement, the rough texture and the seemingly perfect but slightly incomplete elements are all intertwined. This exhibition explores the busy daily life of the city in depth, showing the unique impression left in the memory of the city through the close footsteps, neighborhood interactions and communication between people. In a busy day, temporarily put down the burden of emotions, these moments of leisure and communication are the source of making our lives more fulfilling and rich. Artist Yin Xie continues to reflect on the lives of modern people by recording the emotional impressions of individuals when the inner and outer worlds meet in the rapid changes of modern society. The sense of speed brought by urban changes, the energy that is condensed and released in an instant, and the emotions and imperfections that naturally flow out in the process are all key elements to understanding his works. His creations capture the energy of the city, freeze the moment of time and its preciousness, and advocate emotional resonance between people. The minimalist dots and lines, as well as the carefully blended colors of the artist, are a restrained way for him to perceive and interpret the energy of the current city and society through the light, sound and people's movements of the city. Through this unique way of expression, the artist not only perceives the space he is in, but also realizes his existence in it, and records the rich emotions and wonderful impressions generated at this moment. When you look closely at those seemingly perfect dots and lines, you often find that there is a certain imperfect "human" quality hidden in them. This difference between visual illusion and reality inspires a unique sense of beauty, prompting the viewer to focus on his own sensory experience. When aware of this difference, the audience will begin to be aware of their own existence and experience their own sensory feelings in the present time and space. This method is very similar to the artist's cognition of reality and existence. The impression projected on the canvas cannot fully restore the scene at that time. The gaps between dots and lines are what turn dots and lines on the canvas into beautiful light, rhythm and energy, carrying our stories and making the space of memory and emotion more moving. In this modern society where everything seems to be oversaturated, the process of pursuing inner freedom and tranquility gives new meaning to life and also opens up a space of one's own in the heart. Like a letter to the audience of "Next Scene: Coexistence", I hope that this exhibition can bring them a journey of enriching their souls and lives when they meet Yin Xie's works in the busy rhythm of life.

LOTTE Museum of Art in South Korea is pleased to present Daniel Arsham’s solo exhibition “Seoul 3024”. Daniel Arsham, currently based in New York, is a multi-media visual artist who works across sculpture, painting, architecture and film. His works are based on his original concept of “fictional archaeology”. The artist makes molds of everyday objects and cultural icons, and then reshapes these sculptures with materials such as volcanic ash, calcite, plaster and amethyst. These works have been carefully and deliberately corroded to create the effect of ruins that may be excavated in the future. They are preserved in a familiar yet strange way, providing viewers with a unique experience of looking at the present and the past from the perspective of the future.
