'To lead a better life / I need my love to be here / Here, making each day of the year / Changing my life / with the wave of her hand...' In 1966, British band 'The Beatles' released 'Revolver' album. While John Lenon reveals his cynical and defiant tendency, Paul McCartney showed his soft and positive one in a song 'Here, There and Everywhere.'
The new community and research project 'Here, There Everywhere: an attitude of art dealing with a life in a city' is derived from this song. As love is everywhere, art is everywhere. From 2009 to 2012, community art project was progressed to the effect that extending and sharing personal artistic achievement and 14 project have been done. Also, urban problem research project since 2011 was composed of foreign artists' view on the city. As combining two projects, both community and research project artists are expected to create another synergy effect. Through art, artists show various issues and keywords in Seoul. There is keen but positive perspective. As a lyrics of The Beatles' song, nobody can deny that there is something very important in a bottom of 'art for the life in the city.'
