In this week’s episode of the ArtTactic Podcast, we chat with Andy St. Louis, a Seoul based art critic and founder of Seoul Art Friend, an online platform dedicated to promoting contemporary Korean art. First, Andy shares how Seoul became a burgeoning contemporary art hub in such a short period of time. Then, he details the the infrastructure of the art market in Seoul and how it compares to other major art markets. Also, Andy speculates why Frieze choose Seoul as the Asian city to host their fair and reveals what locals’ expectations are for the fair. Lastly, he identifies some challenges for the Korean art market moving forward.
