Cheongju Art Studio is presenting How Do We Come Across, an artist residency report, on view through May 28. The exhibition introduces the 17th batch of artists who will stay and work in Cheongju for over a year.

This year, 14 artists were selected for residencies of less than 12 months and were chosen for their potential to develop their own artistic worlds in various genres as painting, sculpture, and installation, with a focus on the completeness of their work, their attitude toward art, and their authenticity.

The artists in residence reflect contemporary issues such as anthropology, ecology, environment, and media culture in their work based on their own reflections on themselves, others, and the world. Through this residency exhibition, we hope that you can see the capabilities and possibilities of artists who live the life of an artist in their own way.

Cheongju Art Studio opened in March 2007 to build a new art and cultural infrastructure and promote visual arts in Cheongju. Its objective is to provide creative space for domestic and foreign artists, cultivate and inspire their creative abilities through connections with external art experts such as critics and curators, and create a discourse on contemporary art through exchanges.
