Arario Gallery is pleased to present “KIAF in Eko NUGROHO”, a presentation of works under the theme of “an exhibition within an exhibition”. The works, which are being presented at the KIAF Online Viewing Room will be on show at the Seoul gallery space along with the ongoing solo exhibition by Eko NUGROHO. Through the concept of an artist’s open studio, Arario Gallery overcomes the limitations of online art fairs and offers an opportunity for the public to experience the works in the physical space of the gallery.
This presentation will showcase not only young artists from Arario Gallery, such as GWON Osang, Kohei NAWA, LEE Dongwook, KIM Inbai, and LEE Jinju, but also key artists who represent the history of Korean art, including UM Taijung, SHIM Moonseup, JUNG Kangja, and RYU In. Collectors and visitors will have a unique opportunity to wander through and experience the works in areas, which have often been considered as hidden spaces. The exhibition will be held from 16 September to 17 October in conjunction with KIAF 2020.


ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL opened its doors in Sogyeok-dong in 2006. Since then, it has established its foothold as a leading contemporary art gallery in Korea and across Asia, continuing to be at the forefront of the international art scene through its efficient representation system and bold exhibitions. In March 2014, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL relocated near the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art. In April 2018, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL RYSE HOTEL, a second exhibition space in Seoul, opened in the Hongdae area. Running concurrently with its primary location until November 2019, the project space aimed to mirror the experimental spirit of the neighbourhood through its innovative programming. In 2022, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL ended its Sogyeok-dong era. However, the various experimentation and ventures carried out in the gallery’s previous spaces continue to shape its future at its current location in Wonseo-dong, which reopened in February 2023. Through the preemptive discovery of young artists, steady support of represented artists, and the realisation of meaningful and original exhibitions, ARARIO GALLERY SEOUL aims to continually grow and contribute to the growth of the contemporary art scene in Korea.
