here is a new sensation in Gwangneung, Namyangju, which is because of the ¡®Non Art But Art
Project.¡¯Earlierthisyear,agroupofartistsattemptedtoenteravillageinGwangneungtochange
ideas about art with a village project. Through their artistic imagination, they are changing the
villageintoamuchmorebeautifulandcreativespace.

smoothly at the site, for example, ¡®Cafe C,¡¯ ¡®Machine Shop R,¡¯ ¡®Childlike Rice Paddy,¡¯ ¡®Timid Garden,¡¯
¡®Village School,¡¯ and others. These projects are making the village into a new place. The ¡®Non Art But
Art Project¡¯ is different from other co-purification businesses. Park Chan-kook, who is the director of
the project, works to instill a new sense of community in the people to intertwine them with dynamic

Park Chan-kook(Park) : I think that when I was in school the social environment encouraged me to
dothis.WhenIbeganmyuniversitystudiesin1980,therewereonlyafewpowerfulmenwhodominated
