The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA, Director Youn Bummo), is unveiling from 4 December (Fri.) to 4 April 2021 (Sun.) Korea Artist Prize 2020 at the MMCA Seoul.

Marking its ninth year, the Korea Artist Prize is a representative art award program in Korea co-organized by the MMCA and SBS Foundation. Four visual artists/teams who are capable of using innovative aesthetics to address the most compelling social issues of our time are selected and funding is provided for their artistic productions, which are then exhibited at MMCA.

Through recommendations and screening by experts of domestic and international art scenes, four finalists have been chosen for the Korea Artist Prize 2020: Kim Minae, Lee Seulgi, Jung Yoonsuk, and Chung Heeseung. They each have pursued his or her unique art worlds within the realms of sculpture, installation, photography and video. In the exhibition, Kim Minae and Lee Seulgi proactively utilize formative language to provide a new perception and experience of the museum's space while Jung Yoonsuk and Chung Heeseung present the opportunity and conditions for a deep contemplation on life and humanity.
