The Dalseong Daegu Contemporary Art Festival is a modern art festival held at the Gangjeongbo area, inheriting the spirit of the “Daegu Contemporary Art Festival” from the 1970s, where young artists challenged the rigidity of the established art world by conducting various artistic experiments.
The venue for the Dalseong Daegu Contemporary Art Festival, Gangjeong, holds historical significance as it hosted Korea’s first large-scale collective event during the 3rd Daegu Contemporary Art Festival in 1977, with over 200 participating artists, the largest in its history.
Today, Gangjeong boasts several geographic and social elements, including its location where the Geumho River and Nakdong River meet, Gangjeongbo, known as the “largest sluice gate in the East,” and the geometric architecture of The Arc, designed by world-renowned architect Hani Rashid.
