Had Gyeyeon Park, the event coordinator not contacted me a few days ago, 4482 [Sasapari] would have come and gone without my knowledge.

2010 marks the 3rd Edition of 4482 [Sasapari], an annual showcase for Korean contemporary artists living in London.

What's this group project all about?

Here's how the organizers describe it:

4482 stands for the combination of the UK and the Korean international dialing codes. For 4482 artists, this is not just a set of numbers but a formula that represents a cross cultural dialogue. Specifically, fifty three artists who were raised and educated in Korea, came to the UK for further education, and their practice now reflects the result of two cultures interacting.

This exhibition has now become a significant cultural movement, one of contemporary Korean artists delivering the spirit of ‘Yuhakseng <2>’ to a wider British and European audience. This is mirrored in the curatorial process, which stays true to Korean cultural identity by closely involving all of the fifty three artists."

The work of 53 artists will be displayed.
