Grimdosi is an exhibition and fair for art, artists’ book and animation, aiming to flexibly introduce various genres of arts to the public. Amid this ever changing art scene, it provides a set of spatial and psychological environment that helps every participant be involved in an active communication on artworks. For this, Grimdosi selects a theme each year and curates it in the set of ‘City’.

 

Grimdosi believes the purpose of a platform introducing and distributing artworks is in circulation and reproduction of stories embedded in artworks, i.e. why and how such works of art were made, through multilateral communication of producers and receivers, facilitating further re-reproduction their own thoughts and stories.

 

 

However, spatial setups of many existing exhibitions make viewers feel hard to have active conversation. Thus, it looked for a new set of spatial and psychological environment that enables lively communication in a freer atmosphere. Looking for such spatiality, it found out the spatial setups of ‘workroom’ of artist encourage people to freely talk about their artworks, ways of working, materials, process of distribution and many other stories. Grimdosi is a place where it expanded its experience had in artists’ workrooms.

 

 

As a facilitator for active communication, it is selecting a theme related to art worth talking. Given the chronicle concept of city as its scene continues, it curates the theme throughout the exhibition. It casts artists based on the theme, archives the information related to the theme and shares it by publishing papers both on and off-line.
