Exhibitions of Artist Residency Programs Held Outside of Seoul
An institution or organization that operates artist residency programs mainly provides studio space to artists for a specified period and supports artistic exchanges among the participating artists through various programs.
The duration of the period can vary between institutions. The studio can be rented for as little as a few days or as long as several years, and the different types of programs include exhibitions, workshops, exchange programs, local tours, and open studios. Before the end of their participation, residency programs in Korea may require artists to hold an exhibition showcasing the results of their works.
Seoul is undoubtedly the mecca of the Korean contemporary art scene, but many institutions throughout the country also offer various residency programs and present the participating artists’ achievements. Five artist-in-residencies located outside of Seoul are holding exhibitions showcasing the works of the participating artists, including Busan Cultural Foundation (Busan), Daegu Art Factory (Daegu), Temiorae (Daejeon), APY Artist Residency (Incheon), and Ami Art Museum (Dangjin).

A Journey of Multitudes presents about 100 works that have been carried out during participation in the residency program in March.
The residency program, which also provides an art critic mentoring program, has invited three curators who are active in the Korean and international art scene: Sung woo Kim, director of Primary Practice; Yi Soojung, curator at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art; and Juhyun Cho, a curatorial director of Drifting Curriculum.
The exhibition discusses artists’ shifted identities and lives after the pandemic, which inevitably led to social, structural, and philosophical paradigms. The exhibition also aims to be a place for the artists to reflect on their residency experiences and find new possibilities for their future artistic practices.

The ArtPlug Yeonsu (APY) Artist residency, run by the Yeonsu Cultural Foundation in Incheon, will hold the 2022 APY Residency Artist Special Exhibition Remapping Remapping Remapping: Time, Space, Memory until November 27.
This year was the first year of the APY’s artist residency program.

The Save-a-Blabla team, composed of artists Gal Yura, Ki Seulki, and Han Suji, reflected on their unique perspectives on eight places in Yeonsu-gu and visualized them through observation and exploration. Artist Lee Sung Kyung expressed the gradually forgotten and disappearing landscapes of Yeonsu-gu through paintings. Artist Jung Jung Ho presents an installation work based on photos and videos that tells the story of a used car sales complex located at the site of the old Songdo Amusement Park.
The five participating artists from different backgrounds look at and reinterpret the present and the past of Yeonsu-gu from various perspectives.
Ami Art Museum (753-4 Nambu-ro, Sunseong-myeon, Dangjin-si, Chungcheongnam-do)
October 26, 2022 – March 28, 2023
Ami Art Museum, which opened at an abandoned school in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, is presenting an exhibition with the theme of Dangjin’s port area until March 28 next year.
The most recent research found that there were about 60 ports in Dangjin, and it has become a meaningful identity and historical culture of the Dangjin region. Yet many of them have been lost or destroyed due to urban development projects.
The five artists who participated in the Ecole de Ami Residency worked on the theme of Dangjin’s port for two months, going back and forth between the accommodations in Ansom and the studios, which used to be a salt warehouse in Osom; Ryu So Ri, who works with various genres, presented paintings; Park Yong Hwa showcased paintings and installations; An Gyeong jin participated with sculpture works; Lee Ye Eun brought photography works, and Jeong Ji Yeon presented paintings in the exhibition.
The Ami Art Museum aims to raise interest in artworks that touch on local historical and cultural resources, the natural environment, and human resources. The museum also attempts to develop local arts and culture by promoting the creative activities of artists.
