About This Project

Introduction

Yang Jiwon’s practice is based on the act of drawing. Through performing familiar actions of drawing and writing, Yang takes interest in the forms of letters. The artist then morphs the form and linguistic elements of those letters and explores the various contexts surrounding the new image derived from the process.
Yang has held a solo exhibition titled Atmosphere (Cha Studio, Incheon, 2021), Moeum (SeMA Storage, Seoul, 2019), Tower, Seed, Floral Arrangement (Cheongju Art Studio, Cheongju, 2017) and participated in many group exhibitions including Mass (Seoul Art Space Geumcheon, Seoul, 2023), Unboxing Project-Today (New spring project, Seoul, 2022), Everything I Want to Do Is Nonproductive (Incheon Art Platform, Incheon, 2021), Your Platform, Your Park: Beyond Flat (Incheon Art Platform, Incheon, 2021). Yang was selected to program such as SeMA Emerging Artists & Curators Supporting Program and participated in residency programs including Cheongju Art Studio (Choengju, 2016), Incheon Art Platform (Incheon, 2020-2021), Seoul Art Space Geumcheon (Seoul, 2022).

a residency program operated by the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) that was launched in 2006 after remodeling unused facilities in Nanji Hangang Park. Conceived as a means of supporting capable artists and researchers in Korea, the Residency organizes exhibitions such as the 'NANJI ART SHOW' and 'Art Critic Workshop', and runs other programs designed to enhance exhibitions and research capability. It also operates the International Artist Exchange Program to utilize international residency network and multiply exchanges, and hosts lectures in which art experts from Korea and other countries are invited to participate. By 2009, SeMA Nanji Residency had firmly established itself as a creative studio by providing creative spaces and working conditions to domestic young artists. Starting in 2010, it began to take the form of a program by subdividing its activities into ‘exhibition’, ‘research and academics’, and ‘exchange’, and supporting and operating them systematically. Since 2012, it has been developing into an international residential organization by operating various programs.
