Fukuoka & Busan Exchange Exhibition
ARTinNATURE
“Art work & Diary”

We are pleased to announce an exhibition by a group of emerging artists invited from Busan, Korea.
Our artistic and cultural exchange began in autumn 2010, when Mr. Sung-baeg, an artist and director of Cultural Creative Space ARTinNATURE in Busan first contacted artists in Fukuoka to participate in an exhibition held at the space.
Five artists based in Fukuoka responded and presented a wide range of works with a group of local artists.
ARTinNATURE is a type of shared studio combined with a gallery space, run by a number of artists based in Busan including Mr. Sung-baeg, located within the Seo-Gu Flower Village district of the city.Through realizing the exhibition in Busan, we gained our friendship and artistic connection by sharing ideas and experiences that led us further into realizing another exhibition, this time in Fukuoka.
By presenting not only artwork, but also materials such as sketches, notes and pictures that reveal process of artistic creation behind each work, the exhibition aims to offer an accessible environment for the viewer to engage with the artists and their work.
We hope this exhibition to be a wonderful opportunity for an exchange and dialogue between people beyond cultural difference and profession.
