Venue: SongEun Art Space

The SongEun ArtAward was established in 2001 to support and award Korean contemporary artists through a fair and transparent evaluation process every year. We are proud this award has become one of the most influential art prizes domestically and is recognized for discovering new talents. After the 10th ArtAwards, from 2011 the SongEun ArtAward was greatly modified with the purpose of better supporting and promoting emerging Korean artists. Under the new selection process, only four artists are selected on the shortlist and each finalist is equally awarded the same cash prize. In addition, all artists will have one work acquired by the SongEun Art and Cultural Foundation. Before the end of this group exhibition, one artist will be selected as the Grand Prize Winner and given an additional cash prize with the opportunity and funds for a solo exhibition within 2 years at the SongEun ArtSpace.

This year 302 persons applied for open competition and we are excited to announce Young Eun Kim, Jungju An, Min Oh, Kijong Zin for the 17th SongEun ArtAward shortlist. Each artist is showing a body of work in one of the four exhibition spaces and a complied video of the artists’ interviews is also on view.

· Grand Prize : Young Eun Kim

· Excellence Prize : Jungju An, Min Oh, Kijong Zin
