Community Project
This project will provide artists selected through the International Competition of KICB with opportunities to take part in events arranged
by institutions at home and abroad, through the international network that KOCEF has established since the KICB was launched 20 years ago.
This Project will continue to build the global network with a view to developing overseas ceramic art markets, and it aspires to make
Gyeonggi-do Province the yet another center for art and cultural exchange.
This program will connect 300 artists recognized at the International Competition of KICB 2019 with appropriate institutes in Korea and other countries.
They will be given priority in participating in the projects hosted by these institutes. By agreement with the KOCEF, each of the cooperative communities in Korea
and other countries including institutes of residency programs, museums, and galleries will invite artists from among the 300 artists recognized at the International
Competition of KICB for residency programs in 2019 and 2020.
Of twelve artists selected by KOCEF, five foreign artists will introduce their works and processes
through public programs during the Biennale. The residency program, arranged to share the artists’ work with the viewers, will be an opportunity for the viewers to
gain a better understanding of the art production process and communicate with the artists in person.
