The event was directed by Gallery Sangsangmadang, and Art Space Hue and Gallery King, Myth Hong, Space of Art.ECT Cafe vw, Café Ether, and Television 12 joined the various programs with more than 150 works by young Korean artists.
Its aim is to exhibit and sell the young artists' works situated in the present of Korean Contemporary Art that has rapidly shifted in a social influence and a capital since the year 2003. In particular, the event is part of the developed program of Seogyo Nanjang
that was once a small section of Seogyo Sixty, both programs of selection and nourishment of young artists.
In this context, the event mainly focused on introducing and selling the works as one can see in the title, New Generation ART FAIR. Young artists such as Park Jina, Sun Mu, Li Set Byul, and Arong Chung presented their painting as well as illustration work by Lee Eunjun, Bom Roya, ByeN, etc. Therefore, the organizer provided visitors with a various range of purchasing options. The comparatively moderate price level differentiated this event from other art fairs. For the opening show on December 17th, RELAY's performance was presented along with various arts performances and lectures over the following two weeks that revitalized communication between the public and the artists.
