OUTHOUSE opens its first exhibition of 2026 with the fundraising exhibition 《The Present of Birds: Borderline》, on view through February 8. This marks the first fundraising exhibition presented by OUTHOUSE since its opening in 2018, and is structured to combine exhibition and sales.

Rather than foregrounding the purpose of fundraising, 《The Present of Birds: Borderline》 is curated around works by artists who have maintained relationships with OUTHOUSE or with whom the space hopes to build future connections.

Featuring approximately 100 works by 28 artists that take birds as either a theme or a subject, the exhibition examines the multilayered meanings of birds—figures long perceived as symbols of freedom and flight, yet also regarded as objects of fear, aversion, and boundaries.

Funds raised through the exhibition will be used to support the operation of OUTHOUSE in 2026 as well as the participating artists. The exhibition aspires to become an occasion for another leap and flight—for both the space and the artists involved.

Founded in 2018 in Mangwon-dong, OUTHOUSE is an artist-run exhibition space dedicated to contemporary artists. Serving as a mediator between artists and the art field, it has actively pursued the generation of exhibition discourse and the exploration of practical methodologies.
