Since its opening in 2009, Jeju Museum of Art has established itself as the foremost art museum in the region, contributing to the development of Jeju’s culture. Through the goals of actualizing Jeju’s cultural identity and protecting the cultural rights of her people, Jeju Museum of Art aims to stand as a beacon of all Jeju means for not only the region, but the world as well. While active in the works typical of an art museum, such as exhibiting, educating, collecting, preserving, and researching, Jeju Museum of Art also strives to be a cultural complex able to approach the citizens of Jeju by providing them with a place to communicate and commune with art inside of nature.
In this 2023 Project Jeju Migrating Human—Homo migratio exhibition at Jeju Museum of Art, the central hub of the exhibition, a total of fifteen teams (twenty people) will address various aspects of migration, both in Korea and abroad, through the movements of contemporary art. One of the unique characteristics of this exhibit is the collaboration between Korean artists and foreign artists. Few of the teams have been matched up before, but they came together under the theme of ‘immigration’ that lies at the center of this exhibition. The collaborative system at the heart of Project Jeju provides a new way for artists to create and an opportunity for them to move onto new works of art.
