Introduction
The Seoul Art Space Geumcheon(SASG) is a residency for visual artists. SASG remodeled from a printing factory located in Doksan-dong, Geumcheon-gu, Seoul, as part of the Seoul city government’s project to build spaces for creative activities.
SASG encourages experimental arts and respects diverse values of art. Accordingly, the institution has discovered the domestic and overseas visual art industry’s core agendas to hold international symposiums and develop discussions. Every year, it selects visual artists who want to realize new and experimental artworks through opencall to run and support residency programs.
Initially, SASG tried a new visual arts direction with community artists, focusing on communication with local areas. Since 2013, SASG have sought the potential of convergence between technology and art with the center on media arts, facing the era of the 4th industrial revolution.
SASG is currently making efforts to play a leading role in the domestic and foreign visual art, respecting diversity and valuing experimental art.
