EMMA WEBSTER

The building, comprising two floors and offering exhibition space of about 190 square meters (2,060 square feet), is designed by KIAS (Kentaro Ishida Architects Studio) in collaboration with Yoki Design and Kenny Ho.

Perrotin Dosan Park is the gallery’s eleventh location across seven cities: Paris, Hong Kong, New York, Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Dubai. One of the first international galleries to establish an exhibition space in Seoul, Perrotin launched an outpost in 2016 in the historic cultural neighbourhood of Samcheong-dong. The gallery’s expansion in South Korea’s capital aims to strategically broaden its roster and strengthen its connections to art communities by augmenting its programming in complementary exhibition locations in both of Seoul’s northern and southern centres.

The inauguration of Perrotin Dosan Park will coincide with the first edition of Frieze Seoul (September 2–5) and the 21st edition of Kiaf Seoul (September 2–6). Perrotin’s booth in Frieze is dedicated to a solo presentation by New York-based artist Tavares Strachan marking his debut in Asia, and its booth in Kiaf will showcase new works by various artists of the gallery’s program.

At Perrotin Samcheong-dong in the original space, Bay Area artist Barry McGee’s first solo show in South Korea will be on show from August 5th through September 8th, 2022.
