Pool Public
With an in-depthperspective to the public, Art Space Pool starts a new business, Pool Public and Pool Edition, to create a new 'art public', diversify art market, and construct local cultural environment.
Pool Public aims to circulate, bridge artworks in community and build local culturalenvironment by partnership with prominent professionals from a private art scene. For an efficient process and management of the project, Pool Public focuses on core contents selected by a prudent evaluation, without making any affiliation with other relevant institutions. More importantly, Pool Public presents Pool Edition which is a closed collection of artists and artworks as well as its management business.
We expect Pool Public to be a channel actively used among private culture supporters, not relying on system-led enlightenment campaigns or volunteer works. Also, we believe any place where those who love art and culture meet and interact will become the ‘Art Town(art community)’.
Weask your continuous interests and supports toward Pool Public’s
throughout the year of 2013.

Followed by Itaewon CCUULL and CCUULL POOL which will be closed in March, 2013, the first public program,
, is launched in Gugidong where the Pool headquarter is located. The current project is initiated by a call from a couple who has a café named Eungabi having lived in Gugidong for about 6 years. The couple invited us to change their cafe into a gallery café. Now Pool is introducing ‘Pool Edition(an artist and artworks)’ with two months circulation at café Eungabi gladly offering a space as a Pool’s partner. Meanwhile Pool is now attempting to meet various art community of Buamdong-Pyeonchangdong-Gugidong neighborhood where has been attended to as a cultural and national park area in Sadaemoon(the four main gates in Seoul). As the first showcase of the project, we present 11 artworks of An Gyungsu.
