  • Artist Yoyojin will create a live drawing from Sept. 5 to 10 on a 23-meter-wide, 4.2-meter-high wall at the Ulsan Museum of Art.
  • The work will link the artistโ€™s character Yoyo with people, animals and plants, incorporating some imagined creatures drawn by participants in a previous program.
  • The completed piece will be displayed in the childrenโ€™s exhibition โ€œA World We Live In Together,โ€ opening next month.

A 23-meter wall at the Ulsan Museum of Art will gradually become a world of connected characters, people, animals and plants as artist Yoyojin draws in front of visitors.

From Sept. 5 to 10, Yoyojin will work in the museumโ€™s third exhibition room, using a wall 23 meters wide and 4.2 meters high. The museum is opening the process itself, allowing visitors to watch the artwork take shape rather than seeing only the finished piece.

Yoyojinโ€™s work centers on โ€œYoyo,โ€ a cute character with a crown and uneven teeth. The artist uses lines to connect stories and subjects through the character. Some imaginary creatures freely drawn by participants in last monthโ€™s โ€œImagine a Friend You Havenโ€™t Met Yetโ€ program will also be transformed into finished elements through the artistโ€™s work.

The completed drawing will go on display in โ€œA World We Live In Together,โ€ a childrenโ€™s exhibition opening on the seventh of next month in the same gallery. The exhibition will explore the meaning of living together while considering unfamiliar beings and difference. It will run through March 22 next year. A museum official said experiencing how artwork is made can carry special meaning for children and other visitors.

Experiencing the process of making artwork directly can also have great meaning for children and visitors. We hope they will enjoy seeing a world take shape on the wall together at the museum.
