Art Sonje Lounge Project has transformed the lounge of Art Sonje Center, where ‘The Books’ and a cafe are located, through participating artists’ projects since 2009. These projects attempt to open up a space for encouraging experimental and challenging practices reflecting the multi-functional feature of the lounge.
For its fourth project of this year, 2012 Art Sonje Lounge Project #4 features large scale photographs Re-Establishing Shot by Seung Woo Back, Preview & Review REAL DMZ PROJECT 2012 by the participating artists of REAL DMZ PROJECT 2012, and Open Index which presents videos and publications by emerging Korean artists. The participants of Global Institute 2012: Gwangju Biennale Backyard Camp also present a project during the exhibition period.
