NEWS FROM NOWHERE : Korea Artist Prize
Since 2012 the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea has reorganized the annual Artist of the Year exhibition under the new name Korea Artist Prize. The aim was to continue on its 15-year legacy and to widen the program’s scope to provide a practical platform that enables the artists to better connect with the global audience. The exhibition program was structured to encourage a positive competition among the selected artists, after which the Museum and SBS(Seoul Broadcasting System) Foundation announced MOON Kyungwon & JEON Joonho as ‘the winner of the 2012 Korea Artist Prize.’
This catalogue provides an in-depth view into Moon Kyungwon & JEON Joonho’s artistic oeuvre. Through this publication, we hope to recognize the artists who have shown the exceptional potentials of Korean contemporary art and have provided a new vision for the local art scene by leading new discourse on the future of Korean art.
Jointly created with the sponsorship of SBS Foundation, an organization committed to social return, we hope that this publication will serve as a viable channel of communication to showcase the artists’ vision.
