[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] An art event that transforms idle spaces such as military base abandoned facilities, closed schools, and vacant houses into regional hub spaces through art will be held in Gangwon Province.

The Gangwon International Art Festival Operations Office of the Gangwon Cultural Foundation announced on the 24th, "We are opening the advance reservation system for Korea's first nomadic visual art festival, 'Gangwon International Triennale 2021.'"

The Gangwon International Triennale, a triennial touring art event, is an international art festival aiming for a nomadic project. A total of 104 teams of domestic and international artists from 39 countries across 6 continents will showcase over 120 works.

Tour guide programs for audiences, such as 'Triennale Date' and 'Triennale Night,' involving art directors and curators, have also been prepared.

The event will be held for 39 days from October 30 to November 7 at the old ammunition maintenance factory in Hongcheon, Wadong Branch School, Hongcheon Museum of Art, and Hongcheon Central Market.

The exhibition runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and operates on a 'pre-scheduled time reservation system' through Naver reservation service.

The general admission fee is 5,000 KRW, while admission to Hongcheon Museum of Art and Hongcheon Central Market is free. Paid visitors will be given 'Warm Local Love Gift Certificates' that can be used at Hongcheon Central Market and traditional markets.

Exhibition works installed outdoors can be viewed by anyone, but indoor exhibitions such as classrooms at Wadong Branch School, the interior of the ammunition maintenance factory, Hongcheon Museum of Art, and Hongcheon Central Market are only accessible to those with advance reservations.

Shin Ji-hee, head of the Gangwon International Art Festival Operations Office at the Gangwon Cultural Foundation, said, "We have prepared the online exhibition as thoroughly as the on-site exhibition," adding, "Although limited, we are glad that visitors can come to the site."
