Arts & Heritage Advisory
Curation
We curate exhibitions and cultural projects that foster dialogue between artists, audiences, and institutions. Our work spans from developing exhibition concepts and collaborating closely with artists to producing public programmes and community-based initiatives. Each project grows from research and conversation, with a focus on creating spaces where artistic ideas meet social and cultural contexts.
Research
Grounded in academic and curatorial research, this area draws from our team’s background in museum and doctoral studies. Alongside independent and commissioned research on contemporary art, institutional histories, and cultural policy, we also conduct market and audience research for localisation projects — analysing how cultural content travels across linguistic and regional contexts.
By connecting theory with practice, our work informs exhibitions, publications, and strategic initiatives that bridge artistic, academic, and market perspectives.
Translation
Partnering with museums, cultural foundations, and art institutions to ensure research resonates across languages and cultures. Our services include translation, editing, interpretive writing.

(EN) Artist Interview | Soon Yul Kang, Repetition & Mediation
Soon Yul Kang’s endlessly repetitive works, which draw the audience is not just through their delicate nature but also through their emotional depth.
Her practice of rewriting single words like "love", "mother", or "human" is well known as a meditative process. However, Soon Yul's work hasn't always been about repetition.
There's a much richer story behind it, encompassing the reasons she began, the process itself, and what she wants to communicate through it.
In this interview, we delve into the inspirations, techniques, and messages behind Soon Yul Kang's unique art.
(En) Exhibition article | Jonni Cheatwood [Toeing the Line]
Jonni Cheatwood, a Brazilian-American Artist, makes art from memories with textiles and figurative abstract paintings. Using various mix-materials to express his core memories of his life, faceless or face-abstracted paintings and stitched fabric canvas have been ‘therapeutic activities’ according to the artist.
Cheatwood is a self-taught artist who grew up in a creative family. He went with the flow by trying out something he was passion about, somewhere the love was leading to, and non-stop learning how to sew and paint by himself. It was unintentional for Cheatwood to become an abstract painter, but his creative flow and process led him to his core memories and the central question of: ‘who am I’. Forming memories is not simple, as Cheatwood’s paintings it is layered with mixed feelings and interwoven with forgotten and remembered history.
The Gilbert & George Centre, '우리는 모두 영원히 살고 싶지 않을까요?'
2023년 4월 1일, 영국 런던에 길버트 앤 조지 센터가 개관되었다. 비영리 기관으로 등록된 이곳에서는 길버트와 조지의 작품이 전시되고 그들의 영화가 상영되고 그들의 작업세계에 대한 연구가 이루어진다. 영국 현지의 한 매체는 이를 두고 “경이로운 나르시시즘의 업적”이라 불렀는데, 개관전 《천국적인 그림들》에 나온 작품들, 즉 둘의 몸이 마음껏 해체, 변이, 확대된 대형 이미지가 마치 성당의 스테인드 글라스처럼 제시되고 있다는 사실을 고려한다면 오히려 칭송에 가까운 표현일 것이다. 출품작은 영국에서는 모두 처음으로 공개되며 전시는 일반 대중에게 무료로 오픈된다.
