[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hyundai Department Store announced on the 12th that it will exhibit works by emerging artists at its own ageless women's clothing edit shop Corners in collaboration with the cultural arts startup Openwall until the end of June.

Openwall is a startup that operates a service renting out empty walls in specific spaces to exhibit and sell artworks. It was selected as an art-based startup by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2020.

Hyundai Department Store has prepared separate exhibition spaces within Corners stores located in Mia Branch, Mokdong Branch, Pangyo Branch, and Kintex Branch, showcasing 5 to 10 works each by 1 to 2 emerging artists per store (a total of 5 artists). Until next month, works by five emerging artists?Lee Hye-in (Mia Branch), Madam Gyu and Hello Sikmul (Mokdong Branch), Vivian Park (Pangyo Branch), and Daniel Shin (Kintex Branch)?will be exhibited.

A Hyundai Department Store official said, "We planned this exhibition space support to provide even a small space to introduce works by domestic emerging artists who lack exhibition opportunities," adding, "We will continue to undertake various efforts to promote the works of emerging artists."
