Hamyang-gun Cultural Arts Center Selected for Exhibition Space Revitalization Support Project

Presenting Excellent Exhibition Programs This July

Hamyang-gun Cultural Facilities Office in Gyeongnam has been selected as a supporting institution for the 2023 Exhibition Space Activation Support Project hosted by the Korea Culture and Arts Centers Association and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Sports Promotion Foundation, with Hamyang-gun Culture and Arts Center participating as the supporting institution.

This Exhibition Space Activation Support Project matches excellent exhibition programs with local idle spaces and exhibits them to provide diverse visual art content to local residents.

Through this public offering project, Hamyang-gun Culture and Arts Center will receive an exhibition budget of 32 million KRW and plans to hold an exhibition for one month from July 1 to 31 in the Culture and Arts Center exhibition hall.

Gyeongnam Hamyang-gun Arts Center.

The selected exhibition program this time is ‘GREEN ROOM 2023: The Waiting Room,’ where ‘GREEN ROOM’ means a ‘waiting room’ preparing for the next stage in a theater.

Beyond temporarily forgetting the hardships of daily life, it aims to prepare an exhibition as a ‘waiting place’ where one reflects on oneself, reorganizes, and prepares for the next stage. It also plans to include experiential events and exhibition commentary programs, conducted to bring the artworks and audience closer together at the public’s level.

The exhibition is divided into six spaces, introducing the diverse languages of six young artists: Kang Ji-ho’s room, which uses scrap wood to talk about humans and the environment; Kim Hyun-yeop, who uses discarded plastic materials to explore the boundary between reality and illusion through comic images; Lee Min-geol, who attempts to transform his complexes into positive landscapes in his works; Lee Jung-yoon, who presents inclusive sculptures stimulating sight and touch through large-scale works using soft materials; Lim Joo-won, who creates a warm space with childlike sensibility through hand stitching and drawing; and Jo Ik-jun, who experiments with the intersection of technology and art through pop-style sculptures incorporating 3D printing technology.

Kim Jong-nam, in charge of performing arts, said, “We are pleased to provide Hamyang residents with the opportunity to view excellent exhibition programs concentrated in the metropolitan area here in our county. We will strive to allow frequent access to such great works.”
