SOUTH KOREA: Gwangju – Penguin Village – Yangnim-dong – Vintage Designs, Garbage Art & Upcycling

One unique form of art that can be found in wide variety at Penguin Village consists of pieces made from old objects and trash. These are essentially upcycled works, like turning old into new, or reimagining items so they take on new meaning. The artworks are fantastic, but especially when spread out in such large numbers across the entire area, they have an even more powerful impact. We currently have no information about the creators; there is one artist who works here primarily, along with a few others. More details will follow shortly. Check out as well the several other creative categories via the main page of the Gwangju Penguin Village.
