Call for studio visit by Heeseung Choi on 3 and 4 October 2024

On Thursday 3 and Friday 4 October 2024 curator Heeseung Choi will visit the studios of The Hague artists. Heeseung describes her areas of interest as follows:  

"Heeseung Choi is interested in examining and analyzing the work of living contemporary artists from different perspectives, observing and engaging in dialogue about how they evolve in their practice, what they follow, and how they can improve. Choi believes that this process expands her insights as a curator. She is interested in multidisciplinary artwork, including literature, science, and sociology, and is concerned with the impact of artists on society. She focuses on creating specific environments where works of art connect with their audiences, believing that the active exchange in contemporary art expands our perception of art."
