(October 24, 2022 - March 28, 2023) ©Ami Art Museum.Ami Art Museum, which opened at an abandoned school in Dangjin, Chungcheongnam-do, is presenting an exhibition with the theme of Dangjin’s port area until March 28 next year.
The most recent research found that there were about 60 ports in Dangjin, and it has become a meaningful identity and historical culture of the Dangjin region. Yet many of them have been lost or destroyed due to urban development projects.
The five artists who participated in the Ecole de Ami Residency worked on the theme of Dangjin’s port for two months, going back and forth between the accommodations in Ansom and the studios, which used to be a salt warehouse in Osom; Ryu So Ri, who works with various genres, presented paintings; Park Yong Hwa showcased paintings and installations; An Gyeong jin participated with sculpture works; Lee Ye Eun brought photography works, and Jeong Ji Yeon presented paintings in the exhibition.
The Ami Art Museum aims to raise interest in artworks that touch on local historical and cultural resources, the natural environment, and human resources. The museum also attempts to develop local arts and culture by promoting the creative activities of artists.
