Open call for 2014 Korean Artist Project
Korean Artist Project (KAP), an online platform for cutting-edge contemporary art, said it began recruiting artists to participate in this year’s project.
Organized by the Korean Art Museum Association (KAMA), KAP established in 2011 and has so far displayed the works of 63 artists through its virtual gallery on the Internet.
Until last year, the KAP had asked curators of private art museums to submit the artists they believed as worthy. Organizers hope that the more open process of participation will allow them to access artistic talent more broadly.
The KAP provides English information on select Korean artists and it has been bridging Korean artists and overseas institutions interested in Korean contemporary art. The project participated in the Korea Brand & Entertainment Expo 2013, drawing attention from curators in the United Kingdom.
The application is due March 31. For more information, visit www.koreanartistproject.com.
