4482 [SASAPARI]

Bridging the gap between the diverse cultures of South Korea and the UK, 4482 [SASAPARI] desires to exploit creative ways in presenting artworks by emerging artists in the UK and South Korea. Represented by the symbolic figure of ‘4482’ (the combined dialing codes of the United Kingdom, 44, and South Korea, 82), we aim to promote, integrate and celebrate artistic communication between the two countries to the wider public. What started off as a Korean artists-led initiative in 2007, 4482 has flourished into a platform of opportunities for over 300 Korean artists working in the UK, to showcase the contemporary arts of Korea. Starting from 2022, not only focusing on Korean artists in the UK, we aim to expand our collaborative work with overall emerging artists that are active in the UK as well as in South Korea. Our new vision is to be a platform for emerging artists and related industry professionals where they can connect together to create a new scene for the art community.
