SSamzie Space was founded in 2000 as a nonprofit, multi-disciplinary, cultural and arts organization to support the cutting-edge progressive artwork of Korea. SSamzie Space works to fulfill the mission of the SSamzie Art Project which was the precedent project of SSamzie Space, sponsored by Korea’s leading fashion and accessories company SSamzie Co. Ltd. The various alternative programs of SSamzie Space have been quickly becoming an integral part of the Hong-ik University area’s art scene as well as the contemporary art scene of Seoul, Korea.
The SSamzie Art Project was designed during the 1998 IMF crisis in Korea to support emerging young artists. SSamzie CO. possesses expertise on a wide spectrum of art, including the fine art designs, fashion shows, art prints, art advertisements, art books and cultural event sponsorships. By providing artists with financial support, art studios, overseas exhibitions and exhibition programs, and indie band music album production, the SSamzie Art Project functioned as bedrock for creative activity among young, avant-garde artists.
