Experience Seoul City Hall's 'Haneul Square' in VR... Online Exhibition by 5 Artists

Works of Five Artists Selected in the 2020 Contest, Conducted 'Non-face-to-face'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced on the 25th that it is exhibiting five works selected through the ‘2020 Sky Plaza Gallery Contest’ via the ‘Online Sky Plaza Gallery’.

Seoul has been holding annual exhibitions by inviting artists to submit works on various social issues faced by the modern city of ‘Seoul,’ such as urban regeneration, sustainability, and climate environment.

Last year, after a fair review by a judging committee composed of internal and external experts, five artists (teams) including curator Lee Jang-ro, and artists Jung Hye-sook, Jang Yong-seon, Koo Ji-eun, and Kim Jandi were selected, but the exhibition could not be held due to the spread of COVID-19.

Seoul converted the suspended ‘2020 Sky Plaza Gallery Contest Selected Works’ exhibition into an online exhibition and has been sequentially unveiling the five exhibitions since November last year.

The five teams’ exhibitions are based on linked themes proposed by the Seoul Metropolitan Government such as ‘Warm City,’ ‘Dreaming City,’ ‘Safe City,’ and ‘Breathing City,’ reflecting the city’s ecology and culture, as well as Seoul’s history and future.

Kim Hyuk, Director of the General Affairs Division of Seoul, said, “Despite the long delay of the exhibition, the artists did their best to present diverse and excellent works. We hope many citizens will show interest and appreciation for the online exhibition.”
