OPEN 24 HOURS – Life on the Edge, A Contemporary Art Exhibition Curated by Jina Park

“The history of the world is the record of man in quest of his daily bread and butter.”
“The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.”

    –  Hendrik Willem van Loon (1882-1944)

“Let’s do our best”, “Do your best” are some of the most popular greetings among Koreans. For Koreans, work is part of everyday fabric of contemporary life.
