Since 2016, Residency Unlimited has been selecting three international curators to contribute with critical essays on the work of artists who participated in the Seoul Art Space GEUMCHEON residency program (Seoul, South Korea). The initiative, which runs on a yearly basis, is aimed to promote cultural exchange and support the development of young artists from South Korea by providing a valuable opportunity for conversation. Hereby, we present Tiago de Abreu Pinto’s Defensiveness, a critique on artist Choi Goeun’s practice.
