This two-week intensive summer trip to Korea includes visits to art production, exhibition, time-based performances throughout the city of Seoul, training in traditional Hanji papermaking techniques in Dai Sung village, and an exhibition of student works at Seoul National University or other Seoul institution. An opportunity for students curious about Korean culture, or for students for whom Korea is home, City Imprints will offer studio visits and networking opportunities in one of Asia's most dynamic cities.
The Schedule includes four days of studio visits with artists, curators, and galleries in Seoul, where students will visit the city's top cultural institutions. From Seoul, students will spend three days in the village of Dae Sung, and the students will study traditional Hanji papermaking techniques using mulberry. For the remainder of the trip, students will work from a studio space at Seoul National University or other Seoul institution where they will use Hanji techniques in the material and spatial palette of contemporary Seoul.
