The biggest art fair in Korea opens Friday, with high hopes amid a slump in the local art market.
The Korea International Art Fair 2009 will bring together galleries, collectors and art lovers for five days through Sept. 22, at the COEX Convention and Exhibition Center, southern Seoul.
Pyo Mi-sun, chairman of the Galleries Association of Korea, said the KIAF hopes to reinvigorate the stagnant Korean art market, which has been affected by the global economic downturn.
KIAF has a much leaner line-up of galleries this year. Only 168 are participating, down from 218 last year and 208 in 2007. This includes 122 domestic galleries and 46 from countries such as Germany, Japan, Spain, Australia, France, China and India, among others. Still, KIAF includes the biggest Korean galleries Arario Gallery, Kukje Gallery, Gallery Hyundai, and Gana Art Gallery. Foreign galleries include China's TS1 Beijing, Colombia's El Museo, France's Galerie Maria Lund, Germany's Walter Bischoff Galerie and Japan's Gallery Kaze.
Over 4,600 works by approximately 1,200 up-and-coming and world renowned artists are on display at the art fair, hoping to attract the attention of the art-loving public and art collectors.
India's contemporary art is in the spotlight, as it is the guest country at this year's KIAF.
``Through the India Guest Country program, KIAF wishes to demonstrate Indian art's excellence as well as its potential for further growth as an art market to the public and professionals,'' organizers said.
The exhibition of Indian art ``Failed Plot,'' curated by art critic Gayatri Sihna, is ``inspired by the idea of the incomplete picture.'' Works of 15 Indian artists including Gigi Scaria, Tejal Shah, Surekha, Rohini Devasher and Manjunath Kamath will be shown. Sinha will discuss the exhibition in a lecture, Sept. 18 at 1 p.m., while Parul Dave Mukgerji of Jawaharlal Nehru University of New Delhi will give a lecture on contemporary art practices in India, Sept. 18 at 3 p.m.
KIAF has organized special exhibitions to attract a wider audience. ``Modern Boy, Modern Girl: Korean Contemporary Art, Modernism & Modernity'' hopes to broaden the public's view of Korean contemporary art.
``The exhibition will shed light on how the contemporary artists felt, perceived and tried to reflect modernity in their paintings. It will also show how the task of practicing modernity was fulfilled by artists and their sensitivity through their manifestation of art in each period,'' organizers said.
The exhibition is divided into three eras of Korean contemporary art, 1920-1930, 1940-early-1950s and mid-1950s-present. Works by Kim Whan-ki, Yoo Young-kuk, Lee Kyu-sang, Paek Young-soo, and Lee Joong-seop are among those on display.
전시는 3파트로 나누어 한국의 현대미술, 즉 초기1920-1930년대와 중기1940-1950년대 그리고 1950년대이후 현재까지로 나누어 김환기,유영국,이규상,백영수 그리고 이중섭 등의 작품들이 진열된다.
Korean artist Yoo Eun-joo will give a special performance of her work ``The Blinds," Sept. 19-20 (12 p.m. and 4 p.m.). Seven artists from Korea, Japan and Taiwan were chosen by KIAF to give special presentations of their works in the lecture room, Hall D, Sept. 20.
Children are also given a chance to learn about art and have fun during the art fair through the ``Kids in KIAF'' program. There are five programs teaching children about space design, media art, environmental design, photography and art therapy. For reservations, download an application at www.kiaf.org and send an e-mail to kids@kiaf.org.

Galleries pushed fresh new talent at this year's Korea International Art Fair 2009 (KIAF), as the global economic downturn continued to affect the art market.
Artworks by big-name artists Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Fernando Botero, Marc Chagall, Paik Nam-june and Lee Ufan were on display, but a lot of fresh, innovative works by up-and-coming artists also garnered attention. These works by new artists were surprisingly affordable, going for around one million won for small works and sculptures.
Osaka-based Tezukayama Gallery brought some works by young Japanese artists such as Akiko Sumiyoshi, whose cute animal character sculptures went for around $2,800 to $3,000.
``KIAF is a big art fair. Last year, the art market was not so good, so we think it is a good chance to get attention for our artists this year. We brought artists that are young, have powerful works and the prices are cheap. It's a good investment,''' Tezukayama Gallery director Ryoichi Matsuo told The Korea Times.
