  • Studio 126, Representative Kwon Joo-hee
    May 31 2024

    Studio 126 is an exhibition space that supports everything from the first solo exhibitions of emerging artists to the new ventures of mid-career artists, operated by independent curator Kwon Joo-hee. She keeps the space open almost every day except Sundays, allowing elderly residents to leisurely visit and children on their way to daycare to come in with their mothers to see the artwork. The space is free to enter. Studio 126 serves as an alternative space where art can become a part of the daily lives of local residents, providing opportunities for emerging artists and those whose careers have been interrupted. While she has spent the past five years engaging in fun and interesting projects as a curator, she aims to dedicate the next five years to fulfilling the role of a "public house."

  • Owners of 'Maison Notre Terre', An Ji-eun & Jessy
    May 24 2024

    After living for four years in Seoul, South Korea, and seven years in Paris, France, they contemplated where and how they want to live their life. They concluded that they wanted to live like Jessy's father, doing hands-on work diligently and working closely with the earth. Ji-eun, agreeing with Jessy's vision, moved with him to Jeju, where they can overlook the sea. The couple currently runs Maison Notre Terre in Andeok-myeon, Seogwipo City. Like the name of their shop, which means 'Our Earth or Soil and Land,' they enjoy working with things that come from the soil with their own hands. Maison Notre Terre is like their little world, with a cozy workshop equipped with a pottery wheel and kiln, a showroom displaying their handmade ceramic cups and art objects, a kitchen where they make natural fermented bread from scratch, and a storage and roasting space for raw coffee beans.

  • Café MayB Representative, Lee Hye-yeon
    May 17 2024

    She has been running Café MayB on Seogwipo Lee Joong-seop Street for 15 years. In 2010, when cafes were rare in Seogwipo, this place became a haven for foreign travelers. Guests gathered one by one to plan interesting events here. Every week, they organized activities like Art Day, where everyone could draw together, Open Mic nights for anyone to sing, charity events, themed parties, seminars, workshops, and more. The contents planned by her and the guests accumulated over one or two years, and she and her guests continue to pursue interesting activities today. Her most important goal every year is to keep this place running for a long, long time.
