New Works of Nine Promising Artists: The Breath of Fresh
Period/ 2013.12.27(Fri) ~ 2014.03.30(Sun)
KIM Siha, Insane PARK, PARK Hyungkeun, LEE Aram, JO Seub, JEON Jinkyung, CHA Seung-eon, HONG Namki, and HONG Wonseok

The Gyeonggi Cultural Foundation will hold The Breath of Fresh, an exhibition featuring new works by nine promising artists, from December 27, 2013 through March 31, 2014 (101 days). Newly planned by the foundation this year, the exhibition is a creation support program to discover up-and-coming artists in the field of visual art. A prescribed grant and a chance to hold an exhibition at the GMoMA will be provided to the selected artists. The program is proud to have selected the following nine artists for the first installment: KIM Siha, Insane PARK, PARK Hyungkeun, LEE Aram, JO Seub, JEON Jinkyung, CHA Seung-eon, HONG Namki, and HONG Wonseok.

Since its inauguration in 1997, the foundation has sponsored a wide range of creative activities in diverse fields. The publication of 20 Artists & Critics from 2004 to 2008 was specially made as part of the projects to shore up creative activities in the arena of visual art under the auspice of the foundation, but unfortunately it was discontinued in 2008. There have been other projects to support the creative activities of visual artists, but programs such as 20 Artists & Critics that revitalized criticism in visual art and New Works of Nine Promising Artists: The Breath of Fresh that encouraged creative practices are critical for on-scene artists.

New Works of Nine Promising Artists: The Breath of Fresh 2013 is a program to discover and support up-and-coming visual artists in creating their new works and provide them with opportunities to hold exhibitions that will be attended by expert critics. This artist support program can be differentiated from other preexisting support projects in that it not only embraces artistic works of great diversity and backs up experimental works in a range of mediums but it also includes a variety of activities by artists who practice art as the life in a community or a local society.

The exhibit title Saengsaeng Hwahwa (생생화화, 生生化化, The Breath of Fresh) in Korean literally means “giving birth to and turning to new things.” The title reflects our wish that the art of today will be made for everyone, not just any one specific class, and that all art lovers will be able to agree with one another. The exhibition is imbued with the lively, fresh breath of nine artists active in the Gyeonggi region.
