Now, 'the role of a powerful and unique artist' is confronted with the changed situation. The role was once achieved in the modern era by abandoning the prophetic function of art. However, it is at the opposite end of a field of art constituted through activities within civil society such as community art, the current idea that 'everyone is an artist', and an attitude of artist learning to be 'entrepreneurs'. Such a dichotomy is also observed in Seoul Art Space Geumcheon where there is a coexistence of a group of artists that are absorbed in their aesthetic achievement and other artists that are 'recognized as potential business partners by those who work in the market'. Is the 'artistic stance' going through a transformation? Is the notion of 'creative artist' becoming a thing of the past? A Constructed World on the 23rd of May to witness the artistic stance that is not sacrificed despite all the changes and differences.
