ARKO Art Center presents the 2025 ARKO Art
Studio exhibition 《In Situ》, on
view through January 18, 2026.
The exhibition 《In
Situ》 introduces the works of the 1st and 2nd cohort of
artists in residence at ARKO Art Studio, which opened this June in
Pyeongchang-dong. It aims to offer audiences an opportunity to experience, in a
multifaceted way, the notion of “site” as explored by the artists during their
residency.

The exhibition title 《In Situ》 derives from the Latin phrase
meaning “in the original place” or “on site,” underscoring the exhibition’s
focus on the situated nature of the artists’ creative processes, from the
studio to the gallery. To this end, the exhibition centers on each artist’s
working process and is conceived as a reconstruction of the studio within the
museum space, creating a setting where time and space overlap, unfold, and
coexist.

In this way, the exhibition creates a space
where the research, reflections, and traces of experimentation accumulated by
the artists during their residency are activated anew within the gallery. The
distinctive material languages of each artist intersect on site, opening up
time for their worlds to expand through this encounter.
As part of the exhibition’s public
programs, an artist talk (Nov. 21), in which the resident artists discuss their
work with visitors, will be held, along with a roundtable in January 2026 that
will examine the current state and future of domestic residencies from the
perspective of residency organizers.
