INNOCENCE

Yeongang Gallery, Yeoncheon County, Gyeonggi

Ongoing: Yeongang Gallery, the first-ever art gallery within the civilian control zone adjacent to the North Korean border, opened in May 2016 with a solo show by artist Han Sungpil. It features 11 of his photos, including “Observation,” and video works including “Uncanny Serenity.”

The gallery, located next to an air-raid shelter, was once a museum dedicated to showing North Korea’s attacks on the south. As part of the renovations, Han and designer Cho Sang-gi covered the walls of the building with prints of 680 doors from countries around the world.

The museum is located at Hoengsan-ni 243, Jung-myeon, Yeoncheon County. A valid photo ID is required to pass the security checkpoint.
