Kukje Gallery’s Busan branch in Suyeong District, inside the F1963 cultural complex, is presenting a solo show for 77-year-old artist Kim Yong-ik. Titled “Distant and Faraway Utopia,” the show emphasizes Kim’s “Exhausting Project” series (2018-), in which the artist attempts to exhaust the paints that he owns without buying any more.

--> Kukje Gallery’s Busan branch is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Tuesdays to Sundays. The exhibition is free.

The Busan Museum of Contemporary Art, or Busan MoCA, in Saha District is presenting three concurrent exhibitions each with a distinctive theme. The locality of Busan is explored through the “This is Not Just Local: Tactical Practices” exhibit that shows 145 works from 51 teams of artists.

--> Busan MoCA is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day except Mondays. The exhibitions are free.

For anyone interested in buying art, the Art Busan art fair is the place to be. The annual event is set to return for its 13th edition at the usual Art Bexco venue in Haeundae District.

--> Art Busan is open exclusively to VIP members and press on May 9, and to the public from the next day, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The last day will be held from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. A 10 percent discount is available for ticket preorders made on Naver, starting at 27,000 won ($20).
