Operation of 'Place Support Project for Artists' Selected Works at Seoul Cultural Storage Site until December
Various Convergent Art Programs Available Including Exhibitions, One-Day Art, and Performing Arts in the Park

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul Cultural Storage announced on the 21st that it will present a total of 24 'Cultural Storage ART LAB' venue support projects by December, enabling creators in the cultural and artistic fields to realize their works in various ways.

The 'Cultural Storage ART LAB' venue support project is a program that supports cultural and artistic activities by providing creators with spaces and equipment at the Cultural Storage in three fields: 'exhibition,' 'one-day art,' and 'performing arts.' From the creators' perspective, it will be a great opportunity to try various artworks in different spaces of the Cultural Storage.

The 'ART LAB; Exhibition Project' has been proceeding sequentially since July, preparing a total of five works. Visitors can enjoy interesting exhibitions and films that explore alternatives to art and technology, humans and plants, and cultural spaces by mapping projections inside the tanks and integrating VR science technology.

The 'ART LAB; Small Space One-Day Art Project' offers a total of nine works, including experimental performances, experiential workshops, sound performances, and art healing projects. The artworks presented in the beautiful tank spaces such as the Cultural Archive in the Glass Pavilion T1 and T6 of the Cultural Storage are highly anticipated as three-dimensional convergence performances.

The 'ART LAB; Performing Arts in the Park Project' allows audiences to enjoy nine diverse performances, including circus and traditional Korean performances, which have not been available on-site until now, starting from June.

Nam Gil-soon, head of the Western Park Greenery Office, said, “We are pleased to support cultural and artistic creators who have been struggling for a long time due to COVID-19, and we hope citizens can comfortably visit, communicate with them, and enjoy various cultural and artistic works.” He added, “We will do our best to ensure that all programs operate comfortably while complying with COVID-19 safety guidelines.”
