Purpose & Background:

  The essence of “Space-in & Space-Out (SISO) exhibition” is to create a platform of exchange between international Korean Adoptees and Korean native artists. Art has always been a non-verbal method of communication that inhabits a particular language of its own, and this is exactly what this exhibition will accomplish.

Numerously talented Korean Adoptees have thrived in fields of art for years. It has come to a point where many Korean artists have begun to notice these unique gifts from afar. Supporters of this exhibition are eager to engage not only established but also to encourage young aspiring artists to share their works with the Korean art community. This will be an empowering experience for 15 cultures to merge under the experience of discovering new forms and ideas of art. As most forms of art are continuations of developing ideas, this exhibition will contribute to the betterment of modern art in Korea as well as an opportunity for your work to debut in the Korean market. We project that the artistic exchange made in this exhibition will generate synergy and network amongst artists nationwide and worldwide.

Every 2014 InKAS Summer Camp participant should choose one day between May 19th~May23rd, 2014 as arrival date and one between June 3~June 5th, 2014 as departure date. for the flight.
2014 InKAS Summer Camp will take place from May 23rd to June 2nd.
The camp participants maybe can stay in Korea for a couple of days before or after the summer camp.
We have some hotel partners, so a camp participant can get a good deal on a hotel for a couple of days before or after the summer camp, if he/she make a hotel reservation under InKAS' name.
The reason why we require all participants to flight in Korea on 3rd week of May and flight out before June 5th is we cannot guarantee that a participant can take a flight when he/she want to take according to his/her schedule. We do not know availability of flights with Korean Air out of the periods.
Therefore, please choose arrival date and departure date in the given period.


Thank you,
InKAS
