It is said that Symphony no. Brahms’ No. 2, which I read in conductor Han-gyeol Yoon’s Art column, took a very short period of time to compose, had a clear progression of its own even if it didn’t have the same heaviness as No. 1, and the performance which reached a crescendo towards the end really moved my heart. – Member of Arte “yummy0”

A column worth reading

● Instead of being a fantasy divorced from reality like the TV-style zombie horror films of the 1970s, “fake documentaries” have created a new trend of fear. The film “Talk Show with the Devil” recreates the plan and process of summoning evil spirits to increase the audience of late-night talk shows in the style of 1970s television and uses found footage techniques to present realistic horror. – “Art House Column” by film critic Ok Mina

● It is important not only to see but also to hear John Akampra emphasizes the importance of sound in all his works. In this way, the spatial composition is sensitively adapted to form an active relationship between the work and the audience. It is said that not only do images convey meaning, but also that listening and seeing play an important role in the process in which audiences find meaning. – “Panorama” by journalist Bora Kim

Shows and exhibitions not to be missed

● Classical – The “giant” of the Gyeonggi Philharmonic, the Gyeonggi Philharmonic, will perform at the Lotte Concert Hall in Seoul on the 24th. Conducted by Kim Sun-wook and accompanied by violinist Mark Bushkoff, the orchestra will perform Symphony No. 1 by Mahler, “Giant”, etc.

● Play – Almost Human The play ‘Almost Human’ will be performed at Jeongdong Cecil National Theater in Seoul until the 22nd. This is the story of Soo-hyeon, who worries about survival due to the advent of an artificial intelligence writer ( AI), and Jae-young, who chose to give birth to an artificial womb.

● Exhibition – A two-person exhibition by New Life brother artists Seoknam Yoon and Seokgu Yoon will be held in Hakgojae in Seoul until the 25th. We present Yoon Seok-nam’s drawings from the 2000s, focusing on the sculptures of his younger brother Yoon Seok- gu.
