DCW supports young emerging curators with the potential to make fresh new contribution to the Korean contemporary art scene.
The workshop is conducted for a year, offering a chance for the participants to co-organize an exhibition at DOOSAN Gallery.
Soojeong Park engages with experiences of exhibitions through sensory and physical access, as well as environmental and welcoming accessibility. She is interested in the relationships between books, texts, and exhibition memories, and her curatorial practice seeks to bring together what is fragmented in curatorial labor. She recently published Stollen (2024), which examines the liminal existence of curators as cultural workers. She majored in art studies and has curated or co-curated exhibitions such as Itching Crawls (2024), Music’s Whispered ‘Hide-and-Seek’ (2024), You Like Potato and I Like Potahto (2024), and 3/2,000 (2022).
Jihee Jun dreams of slow yet steady growth and seeks to cherish moments connected through art. While linking fragments of stories and thoughts ignored or simply left behind in the dust of yesterday’s headlines, she remains passionate about her curatorial research and practice, opening up possibilities for what comes next. Recently, her focus has been on ecology, locality, and children's senses, reflecting on a caring sensibility as a fundamental way of engaging with the world. In the past, she curated one of Oksun Kim’s solo exhibitions, Flatness of Things (2023), and has participated in various exhibition and publication projects at institutions and events such as the Seoul Museum of Art and the Busan Biennale.
As a curator and researcher, Han Munhee(Amo) organizes projects that practice low-capital and anti-productive art through a queer-feminist perspective. She is recently interested in the boundaries of violence and resistance.
