A Musical Letter on the Ulsan Art Museum Lawn: “Saturday Fan Letter”

Concert to Be Held on the Lawn on September 5


Ulsan Indie Band SMIN to Take the Stage

On a Saturday evening as the sun sets, music flows over the museum’s lawn... Following their appreciation of the artworks, visitors are offered a cultural moment to relax to the sounds of music and reflect on the lingering memories and emotions conveyed by the exhibition.

The Ulsan Art Museum announced on August 28 that it will hold a special concert, “Saturday Fan Letter,” in the outdoor lawn of the museum at 6 p.m. on September 5, in conjunction with its special exhibition “Fan Letter.”

This performance aims to enhance the exhibition experience by adding music, allowing citizens to enjoy the museum’s space in a more relaxed manner and to connect over shared memories and emotions through music.

The concert will take place from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Ulsan-based indie band SMIN will perform, delivering warm and soothing music inspired by everyday scenery and feelings.

Anyone can participate freely on-site without prior reservation.

SMIN is a new name for the indie band Lundi Matin, which has been active in Ulsan. While maintaining their original musical style, they have evolved with richer sensibilities and sounds, continuing to communicate with Ulsan citizens by capturing the various scenes and emotions of daily life in their music.

This performance is intended to offer visitors a chance to step away from their routines and relax on the museum’s lawn as they enjoy the music.

The name “Saturday Fan Letter” was inspired by the special exhibition “Fan Letter.” Just as one might send feelings of love for music in a fan letter, the exhibition communicates with its audience by sending a musical letter.

In particular, the combination of a Saturday evening and the museum’s outdoor space is expected to provide a unique cultural experience, allowing visitors to enjoy both the exhibition and the concert at once. This opportunity goes beyond simply viewing artworks, creating a space to feel the sensibilities of music, place, people, and the city, and to naturally extend the impressions left by the exhibition.

A representative from the Ulsan Art Museum said, “We hope that, through ‘Saturday Fan Letter,’ citizens can experience not only the artworks but also the music, people, and urban sensibility at the museum. We are preparing to offer visitors a memorable Saturday evening.”

The special exhibition “Fan Letter” sheds light on the memories and emotions that music conveys, as well as the relationship between the city and its people, using trot and Asian popular music as its medium. Reflecting Ulsan’s industrial culture and local music context, the exhibition runs at Ulsan Art Museum through September 27.
