Read MoreWith the aim to present only the best of contemporary art, a selection committee of respected and influential international gallerists have selected the Seoul galleries included on Ocula. The exhibition profiles on Ocula represent the most important contemporary artists, including established masters and emerging talent, making art today.
Ocula exhibition profiles cover solo exhibitions and group exhibitions and include press releases, installation images, and a selection of artworks being shown in Seoul. They also include access to profiles on exhibiting artists, many of whom are creating the most exciting work in South Korea today.
Seoul is a city that has been and continues to be at the centre of South Korea's pop culture and modern art and contemporary art. In recent years the gallery scene has boomed, particularly in the wake of Frieze Seoul becoming an annual art fair event on the art world calendar in 2022. This growing gallery scene has bolstered an already strong institutional base, adding to national museums like South Korea's National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (known as MMCA). A city of impressive artistic architecture, Seoul is increasingly being seen as an art destination of incredible importance.
Spring and Fall are an especially busy time for the art scene in South Korea, but there are spectacular exhibitions all year round. In collaboration with our selection committee, we present the best exhibitions of the Seoul art world and beyond.
Explore the creativity behind each painting, collage, film, sculpture, and photo. Become the curator of your own favourite exhibitions by viewing each profile to create a list of works to view.
