2010 Space Beam Artists-in-Residence Programme
Residency dates: 14th August-27th September 2010
Location: Space Beam and Baedari Village, Incheon, South Korea
Hosted by Space Beam
Organized by Space Beam Planning Team
Sponsored by Incheon Foundation for Arts and Culture
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Programme Outline_
'Public Studio V: Boat and Bridge_Net'
The theme of this year's programme is 'Network' which is reflecting the historical characteristic of the region, Baedari, where the Space Beam is placed.
Baedari is one of the villages in the port city, Incheon.
The name, Baedari, is a compound of the two words: Boat and Bridge.
The boats were used as the bridge to connect the villages and the people. The village became a place for cultural exchange and networking since Incheon had been the open port to foreign trade in 19th century.
The main concern of our residency programme is the process and development of extensive artistic investigation, interrogation, intervention, engagement and dialogue between the invited artists and the local community.
We organize meetings, talks and tours with local audience, artists, students, art professionals and many others to promote mutual understandings and share fresh ideas.
There is neither individual studio provided nor expectation for the completion of artwork. Instead, artists and researchersupload and share the texts and images of the research and art experiments during the process. There are a shared space, wood workshop and facilities available when participants need to produce art works. AS a result, texts and visual dialogues will be published as a book.

About Space Beam_
Space Beam started as a local art study group in 1995, and had performed
numerous activities including seminars, publications and exhibitions.
In January 2002, the space was inagurated in Guwoldong, Incheon for the purpose of having regular meetings and discussions and to help in the realization of proposed ideas.
Since then, Space Beam has been trying to establish independent identity of the local culture under the mottos: quasi-public and localism and autonomy. We have been arranging productive dialogues regarding the local art scene and alternative art events intervening in the course of art production, circulation and consumption.
In September 2007, Space Beam made a new home in the closed down brewery building, Baedari. We continue to bring to light, the issues that deal with local and regional identity with cultural activities aiming to makeIncheon a welcoming urban community.
