The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA, Director Youn Bummo), presents 《PROJECT HASHTAG 2020》, an exhibition stemming from an innovative public contest titled PROJECT #, from 24 July through 30 September at MMCA Seoul. Launched in 2019, its purpose is to seek out promising next-generation artists and promote multidisciplinary collaborations.

Hosted by the MMCA and sponsored by Hyundai Motor, PROJECT # is an innovative and unprecedented form of contest devised to discover and support burgeoning talent by encouraging collaborations among creators in a variety of fields.

Out of 203 teams which applied from various fields, two teams were selected as finalists: GANGNAMBUG, and Seoul Queer Collective (SQC). These teams are composed of varied talents in the fields of design, architecture, and research. Using collective ideas that transcend formal boundaries and which demonstrate art’s limitless potential, these two teams proposed projects concerning the district of Gangnam and the Jongno 3-ga area in Seoul.
