"Lee Young Jun PEN AR" Pen Art(General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism.  Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth.  All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions.  Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited.  Is pen art’s depth also infinite?  In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification?  In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply.  Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values.  From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature.  As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light.  That is why the soul is drawn to light.  Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth.  As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black.  Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life.  If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death.  A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness.  When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background.  Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space.  In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness.  Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit.  Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts.  The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away.  But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred.  The transfer of spirit  occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness.  That is the true ‘pen art.’               Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the " Lee Young Jun Pen Art " and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you.

Was just in time for the exhibition of Leonard Cohen. It was well curated making the whole experience quite emotional. We got in early in the morning but the museum was quickly filled up with exhibition goers.

I have been a few times its always good for a laugh. Which means I am enjoying the art, right? Last exhibit I went to they had a video in a darken room with couches. They were playing Sorrow by The National, over and over again in different forms we sat for close to an hour. Now its our song. A lot of the art is interactive, and you are encouraged to sit on the floor and watch a piece. The MAC only gets 4 stars because its rather expensive for a museum its size.

The current exhibition on Leonad Cohen is wonderful. It opened Oct 7, 2017, and I think it runs for about 5 months here. It is a MUST SEE for fans of Cohen, or anyone who wants to learn about the music and psyche of this prominent Montrealer. It's an immersive experience where bits & pieces of Cohen's live performances, poetry performances, and life are well-edited and presented. It's so well done. Budget a minimum of 3 hours; try to go in less busy times as there are some experiences that you'll go into solo and need to line up awhile to see (eg: 3D interactive Hallelujah & Depression Chamber).

Such a great museum! It's like being in the minds of genius, incredible to see how their mind works to create contemporary art. I really loved this place.
