Contemporary Art, Korea (MMCA). MMCA Residency Changdong has supported
practicing artists to broaden the horizon of their art practice with various
residency programs. International Artists Residency Program provides many
international artists opportunities to experience the contemporary art scenes
in Korea during their residency. Celebrating the anniversaries of diplomatic
relations between South Korea and France, the Czech Republic, and Egypt this
year, MMCA Residency Changdong has invited leading local artists of the country
