2027 SPACE TUM Open Call

About this call

SPACE TUM, a small artist-run space in Mangwon-dong, Seoul, South Korea, held nearly twenty exhibitions in its new space in 2026 and wants to stay longer and closer with each exhibition in 2027. It invites artists and curators interested in the moment a work first opens, in sensations beyond language, and in exhibitions that generate questions to propose solo or group exhibitions in any genre, each running for three weeks between January and December 2027. Selected exhibitions receive the exhibition space with lighting, an exhibition text, promotion through social media, the web archive and external media, and an artist profile photo shoot with an artist introduction post. The space is 34.31 square meters, on the second floor. Applications are reviewed, followed by individual meetings, selection and a contract; results are announced individually on December 14, 2026.
