MMCA×LG OLED Series 2026: Christine Sun Kim
Second edition of the MMCA x LG OLED media-art commission, presenting Christine Sun Kim's "Have Many Dumb Fights Against Rock" on a large curved OLED screen installation in Seoul Box.
More in Seoul
On a curved screen 8.1 by 5.4 metres, built from 72 LG OLED panels, rocks, lines and signs keep colliding, dissolving and re-forming. That loop is the show's title, signed in American Sign Language. The museum calls it the largest curved OLED display ever shown in a Korean museum.
Kim, a Berlin-based Deaf artist, carried her drawings off the screen in paint and vinyl, so thick black motion lines, borrowed from comics and from signing, run across the walls, glass and floor of Seoul Box. You walk over them on the way in, with sound running alongside the animation. She asked for more wall than the room had ever offered; staff said they'd never done that, then did it. In a show about losing arguments to a rock, she won hers.
It is one work in one room, in black and white, about online arguments that change nobody's mind. Entry is free, Seoul Box is on B1, and the museum is open until 9pm on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Look for
The curved OLED wall
Look up at 72 screens joined into one curve, where black-and-white rocks, lines and signs collide, dissolve and re-form, spelling the title in ASL.
Motion lines underfoot
Thick black lines taken from comic-book motion marks and sign language run off the screen in paint and vinyl across the walls, glass and floor.
