The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art preserves and manages more than 10,000 collections and displays works through various exhibitions. In addition, we strive not only to manage the collections but also to systematize auxiliary information related to the works. Information such as titles, specifications, and materials are located in the exhibition's proposition sheet and help to assist in understanding the works. In particular, the title is like a messenger between the artist, the work, and the audience. In fact, the name is also related to the birth of the museum. As art museums moved from private to public ownership, property rights became a necessary condition for managing and guiding works, and the technical standards and information systematization of collection works as public goods also became one of the important roles of art museums. 
The exhibition "The Art of Naming" aims to classify the titles in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art that visitors may find difficult, question their practicality, and clarify naming in the creative field. 
In works of art, titles directly affect the interpretation of the work more than other genres. In particular, the titles of modern art sometimes inspire philosophical thinking by becoming objects of suspicion rather than clearly expressing their meaning. 
The three types of titles for this exhibition (Untitled, Symbol, and Sentence) capture the characteristics of each era and medium, and examine the expansion of the function of titles in artistic phenomena. In addition, the participation program "Name Game" that allows visitors to change the title of the work will widely expand the experience of viewing the work. Through this exhibition, we hope to re-recognize the title of the work, which is considered to be auxiliary information of the work, and discover various relationships between the work and the title.

you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

白纸条

The following is a review of Myeongdong: Advantages - Good shopping experience: This is a paradise for shoppers, bringing together many international brands, Korean local brands and various trendy brands, with a wide variety of goods, including clothing, shoes, cosmetics, accessories and other goods. There are large high-end shopping malls such as New World Department Store and Lotte Department Store, as well as comprehensive shopping centers such as Migliore, and many duty-free shops, with a wide variety of shopping options. - Rich food: you can taste a variety of delicacies, there are authentic Korean traditional dishes such as crab sauce, barbecue, stone pot bibimbap, etc., there are also special snacks such as fried chicken, fried rice cakes, fish cakes, etc., in addition to Western restaurants, fast food restaurants, coffee shops, etc., to meet the taste needs of different people. - Strong cultural atmosphere: Myeongdong Holy Church is the earliest Catholic Church in Korea, with a unique Gothic architectural style, with high historical and cultural value and artistic appreciation. There are also retro neighborhoods such as Tea Cave and Wuqiao Cave Food Culture Street in the surrounding area, full of cultural and artistic atmosphere. Convenient transportation: Located in the center of Seoul, Metro Line 4 Myeongdong Station is directly accessible, and you can directly enter the core area of Myeongdong from multiple exits. There are also many bus lines passing by, which makes it easy for tourists to go to other attractions in Seoul. - Perfect service facilities: most merchants employ Chinese-speaking waiters, and Chinese volunteers on the street, which is convenient for Chinese tourists to ask. There is a police station on Myeongdong Street. If you have any emergency situations such as loss of documents, you can directly ask the police. Banks and currency exchange shops are numerous, which is convenient for tourists to exchange money and handle financial business. Disadvantages - Crowded tourists: As one of Seoul&#39;s hottest tourist attractions, Myeongdong attracts a large number of tourists every day, especially during holidays and tourist seasons, the streets are crowded, and often need to queue up when shopping in shopping malls and restaurants, which will affect the experience of playing. - The quality of goods is uneven: some Myeongdong merchants have the phenomenon of selling fake goods, especially some low-priced goods and souvenirs, tourists need to have a certain ability to distinguish to avoid buying fake goods. - Higher prices: Since Myeongdong is a bustling commercial center and the higher rental costs have led to higher prices for some goods and catering relative to other regions, it may be necessary to spend cautiously for tourists with limited budgets.
