Throughout the curatorial process, we were very often inspired by artists, biennales, artworks and our colleagues. The idea of “How art came to you” was brought up by one of the curators, Helen. So we have been inviting artists or artist-run spaces to share their stories of the moment when art became significant in our lives. 

“How art came to you” is a collection of stories shared by artists and artist-run spaces around the world. They shared the moments when art first knocked on their doors and left an indelible mark on their lives. From chance encounters to life-changing events, these personal narratives explore why art became such a vital part of their existence.  These stories celebrate the transformative power of art and discover the genuine, unfiltered stories behind the art that’s touched their souls.

In today’s episode, we would like to share the story by Dooyong Ro, the director of Cylinder,

CYLINDER is a neutral and variable space born in Gwanak-gu, Seoul in November 2020. The gallery has established its spatial identity between alternative and commercial art over the past year, going through multidimensional changes in characteristics. CYLINDER willingly plays the role of an intermediary between institution and field and contributes to creating various art ecologies. Our vision is to provide a firm stepping-stone for the participating artists to move to the next level, and at the same time bridging the general public’s distance to contemporary art by lowering the threshold for them, transforming CYLINDER into a shared space.  

Radio Momentum is a platform open to artists participating in MOMENTUM 12. It provides a bridge to a wider program of exhibitions, sound works, research, workshops, audio tours, interviews, discussions, and events.
