About
A free contemporary gallery on Avenuel’s second floor, with rotating exhibitions of paintings, prints and media art.
This gallery puts art along a department-store shopping route: it occupies two spaces split by a passage in Lotte Department Store Busan’s Avenuel on the second floor. You can step in between shops rather than set aside a separate museum visit, and entry is free. The setting keeps the visit informal, with shoppers, families and solo visitors drifting through. Exhibitions rotate, mostly solo shows, and have included paintings, prints and media art. One recorded show featured Kim Kyung-hyun’s child character 사랑애 with animals, rendered in oil with layers of color; the idea behind the figure is to look at people, animals and nature without drawing lines between them. That is a past exhibition, not a guarantee of what is on view now, so expect the works to change. There is no need to reserve for the Kim Kyung-hyun exhibition noted in visitor reports, though that may not apply to every show. The gallery is open from 10:30; it closes at 20:00 Monday through Thursday and at 20:30 Friday through Sunday. Check the current exhibition before making a special trip, or simply fold a look around into a visit to the department store. It suits first-time gallery visitors, shoppers and anyone wanting a low-commitment art stop. The trade-off is that this is a compact gallery within a retail setting, not a full day’s museum outing; the displays change, so a particular artist or work may no longer be there.
