KIAF Seoul Satellite Winter Edition is designed to complement the main KIAF platform by creating a more experimental, flexible, and city-integrated exhibition format. Instead of a single venue, the satellite edition activates multiple locations, allowing visitors to experience contemporary art within Seoul’s urban and cultural fabric.

The program often highlights emerging galleries, independent curators, artist-run spaces, and cross-disciplinary practices that might not fit into a traditional art fair structure.

By spreading exhibitions across the city, KIAF Seoul Satellite encourages deeper engagement with Seoul’s creative districts. Visitors are invited to move between neighborhoods, explore local art scenes, and experience how contemporary art interacts with architecture, public space, and daily life.

This format also allows artists and galleries to present site-specific works, installations, and experimental projects that respond directly to their surroundings.
