KT&G SangSang Madang is hosting an exhibition of the winners of its 20th Anniversary Exhibition Support Program, including “AI-Powered Art” and “First Public Work Support,” at the SangSang Madang Hongdae Gallery until Oct. 12.

Launched to commemorate the 20th anniversary of SangSang Madang, the program drew significant attention, achieving a competitive ratio of 100:1 during the open call for submissions held in March.

Following evaluation by a panel of expert judges, Shin Gyo-myung was selected as the winner in the AI-Powered Art category, and Lee Hyun-min was chosen in the First Public Work Support category. Both artists are holding joint solo exhibitions titled “Portrait of the Artist : After ‘Lee, Il-O’” and “The Social Planck Length,” respectively. Detailed information about the exhibition is available on the SangSang Madang website (www.sangsangmadang.com) and admission is free of charge.

KT&G Exhibition Manager Kim Jeong-yun stated, “Through this project, we aim to look back on SangSang Madang’s 20-year legacy of supporting culture and the arts, while also exploring future trends in the cultural and artistic landscape. We will continue our efforts to expand access to culture and the arts and to discover promising emerging artists through a variety of support programs.”

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, KT&G SangSang Madang has grown into one of Korea’s leading multi-cultural spaces that support creative activities and connect the public with art. The facility attracts around 3.2 million visitors annually. Since its launch as an online community in 2005, SangSang Madang has expanded into five offline multi-cultural spaces in Hongdae, Nonsan, Chuncheon, Daechi, and Busan—hosting over 3,000 artistic and cultural programs every year.
