Seongnam Project
Seongnam Project was a local art project consisting of Forum A members, including Kim Taeheon, Park Yongseok, Park Chan-kyong, and Cho Jieun. They conducted on-site research about Seongnam’s urban environment and public art and presented the results through video, installations, diagrams, statistical charts, text, and photography. They wanted to influence the public discourse about Seongnam’s urban character, and the need to attend to the people evicted because of the ongoing gentrification of Seoul from the 1960s onwards. They presented Site-Specific Art Projects such as Seongnam Modernism in October 1998 at Seongnam City Hall and '98 Seoul in Media: Food, Clothing, Shelter. They also published an art catalogue and a book of their research project. The Seongnam Project offers an exemplary model of Korean Site-Specific art, characterized by critical approaches to the development of urban space.

Art Space Pool
A non-profit exhibition space that opened in April 1999 in Gwanhun-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. The first director, Lee Youngwook, borrowed the name of the organization from the title of a poem written by Kim Su-young (1921–1968). The space was established to develop a democratic, alternative art culture, and it is seen as a major venue for the practice of, and discourse on, post-minjung art. The organization consisted of a director; a board of artists, curators, and critics; and a secretariat. Beginning with Seeping In-Chung Seoyoung and Choi Jeonghwa, the inaugural double exhibition which lasted from April 2 to 13, 1999, the exhibition space has held exhibitions for artists such as Koh Seungwook, Chang Younghae, Im Heung-soon, and Bahc Yiso. In addition to exhibitions, the space seeks to establish critical discourse on contemporary art trends through the operation of academies, symposiums, and workshops. In 2004, Art Space Pool became the first Korean non-profit exhibition space to become an art firm. It moved to Gugi-dong, Seoul in 2006.
