Grammar points
N에서 문을 열다to open at N (a place)
에서 marks the place where an action happens, as opposed to 에, which marks a destination or a location of existence. Compare 미술관에 갑니다 (I go to the museum) with 미술관에서 문을 엽니다 (it opens at the museum). Because an exhibition opening is an event taking place somewhere rather than a thing sitting somewhere, 에서 is the particle Korean uses here.
Example: 개인전이 8월 27일 서울 삼청동 국립현대미술관에서 문을 엽니다.
The solo exhibition opens on August 27 at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Samcheong-dong, Seoul.
-(으)ㄴ N입니다 (관형형)a N that has been ...ed
A verb turned into -(으)ㄴ modifies the noun that follows, and the modifying clause comes before the noun rather than after it, which is the reverse of English. 이어 붙인 천 통로 is a fabric corridor that has been joined together. Korean can stack a long description in front of a short noun this way, and news writing does it constantly, so finding the head noun first and reading backwards is a useful habit.
Example: '둥지/들'은 방과 복도 10곳을 이어 붙인 22m 길이의 천 통로입니다.
둥지/들 is a fabric corridor 22 metres long, made by joining together ten rooms and hallways.
-도also, too
-도 attaches to a noun and adds it to something already mentioned. It replaces the subject and object particles rather than stacking on them, so 신작이 becomes 신작도, never 신작이도. Exhibition and product announcements lean on it to add one more item to a list without starting a new sentence.
Example: 신작 '사랑의 기억'도 이번에 처음 공개됩니다.
The new work 사랑의 기억 is also being shown for the first time.
