Alpha Contemporary & Jiso Gallery

Alpha Contemporary is a platform dedicated to developing independent, long-term artistic narratives, taking as its point of departure the structural distance between East Asia and the global art ecosystem. It views East Asia as a region where multiple historical timelines and cultural contexts intersect, positioning it not as a peripheral region but as a distinctive structural presence within the global contemporary art landscape.

Jiso Gallery is a space that explores the intersection of contemporary art and craft while engaging with the evolving currents of artistic practice. Through the discovery of emerging artists with strong potential and in-depth exhibitions by established artists, the gallery has continually expanded the decorative and conceptual possibilities of contemporary craft.

Following its renewal in 2024, Jiso Gallery has embraced a broader range of curatorial approaches, aiming to serve as a global platform that connects the distinctive character of Korean contemporary art with an international audience.
