The Bando Cultural Foundation, established by Bando Construction, is hosting a special exhibition themed 'Home' to mark its 7th anniversary.
Bando Construction announced on the 3rd that the foundation will hold a special invitational exhibition titled 'Building a Home There' featuring visual artist Hong Si-ya until the 22nd.
The exhibition is taking place at the Ivy Lounge gallery within the multi-cultural space 'Bando Yubora Ivy Park 8.0' near Dongtan Station in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. It began on October 24 and is open to the public free of charge.
This exhibition was planned to express the meaning of home through art, in connection with Bando Construction's residential projects. It aims to share the value of home as a space for rest and recovery with local residents.
Hong Si-ya will showcase original drawings, illustrations, and installation art centered around the themes of 'home' and 'nature.' Notably, the exhibition combines sentences from her book 'Building a Home There' with the artworks, allowing visitors to read while enjoying the visuals.
The exhibition space is designed to symbolize a home and the inner selves of the visitors. Attendees can reflect on the meaning of daily life as they move through the artworks.
Hong is known for her 'Daily Drawing' series. She presented a series titled '100 Homes' in 2014 and has continued her artistic endeavors focusing on nature and community since relocating to Jeju in 2015.
On October 31, a participatory program called 'Mind Croquis Drawing Workshop' was held. In collaboration with the paper furniture brand Paper Pop, participants drew their own homes on paper apartments.
The Bando Cultural Foundation is a non-profit public corporation established by Bando Construction in 2019 to promote cultural-based social contributions. It operates a library, gallery, performances, and cultural education programs free of charge, centered around the Ivy Lounge.
Additionally, it provides exhibition space and promotional opportunities for young artists and local creators, and continues cultural sharing activities such as the free special concert 'Starry Night.'
Chairman Kwon Hong-sa of the Bando Cultural Foundation stated, 'The foundation will continue to provide opportunities for cultural enjoyment to local residents and a basis for creative activities for artists. In the future, Bando Group will persist in its social contributions to enhance the value of life beyond housing and grow together with the community.'
