Daejeon Museum of Art presents the exhibition of sculptor Lim Song-ja, grand-prize winner of the 23rd Lee Dong-hoon Art Award, in Gallery 5 from October 1 to November 22, 2026. The official exhibition page lists 25 sculptures.
The exhibition is organized around three verbs: Observe, Touch and Stand. The first considers how Lim closely studied the expressions and faces of family members and acquaintances. The second reveals marks left by shaping and removing clay. The third invites visitors to notice how figures, their directions and the spaces between them create a scene.
Works such as Hand 96-1 and People I Have Met – Hye-jeong invite close attention to the tactile surfaces of the clay. Contemporary Person 96-2, subtitled Late Return Home, depicts people waiting near a bus stop, with their posture and spacing forming a shared but individual urban moment. Try viewing the sculptures both up close and from across the room.
Gallery 5 is at Daejeon Museum of Art, 155 Dunsan-daero, Seo-gu, Daejeon. The museum lists general hours of 10:00–19:00 in October and 10:00–18:00 in November. The individual exhibition page does not specify an admission fee; do not assume entry is free. Confirm admission, discounts and last entry before visiting. Exhibition inquiries: 042-270-7337.
