Alt Space Loop is located in the area of Hongdae, Seoul Korea. Like most places in Seoul its impossible to find, but hey that's half the fun (Unless its -5 degrees outside). ALt space loop is a non profit organization or it has that not profit org feel to it. The building itself is really cool looking so you'll feel smart taking your friends there. There are two floors dedicated to art, one floor for the cafe and library and a fourth floor that they are fixing up for something new (Jan 2011). You'll never be let down by Alt Space Loop they always have something hot there. A lot of the art is by younger artists so it makes it fun. Having said that Korean contemporary art has been impressive. Seoul has become something of a hot bed for new painters. There's a lot of pop and realism. However a wave of outsider art has made it's way to Korea also. The pictures I posted here are from the latest Exhibit (Jan 2011). On the day I took these pictures there some people there. However many times I go there nobody's there which is interesting because go to Sang Sang Ma Dang on any given saturday and the place is packed. Sang Sang is located in the heart of Hongdae so I'm sure that has something to do with it. Not that you shouldn't check out Sang Sang Ma Dang it's always worth a check.
