Founded by students, our motivation comes from “the urgency to take measures against the limitations coming from the misconceptions of Asian cultures in the Gerrit Rietveld Academie & Sandberg Instituut”. To take our first actions, we would like to introduce artists from a broader range of Asian cultures and backgrounds. This aim comes from a pure will to integrate artists of diversities and to broaden the repetitive names and works encountered in our institutions. Though a fragile step, it is our intention to acquaint each other of the boundless possibilities of these works without the imposed lense of cultural difference and exoticism.

Open Call for Oreum Residency 2024 is available now for application:
Greetings artists! Thank you for your interests in the first edition of Oreum Residency in Jeju Island, South Korea.
What is Oreum?
Oreum is named after the Korean word 오름, which carries two different meanings. One refers to the approximately 360 small volcanoes spread across the island of Jeju. The other refers to the action of climbing up. As such, our mission at Oreum Residency is to nurture and support emerging artists through a distinctive artist residency program.
Where is Oreum going to happen?
The first edition of Oreum is going to take place at a luxury townhome community named Cedar Hill, at Seogwipo-Si, Jeju Island, South Korea. Jeju Island is renowned for its distinctive atmosphere, featuring natural parks, waterfalls, vibrant contemporary art scene, and of course, the Oreums, all set against a backdrop rich with historical narratives and cultural significance. This inspiring landscape will serve as the perfect setting for our 4-week residency program, offering artists the opportunity to immerse themselves in both the natural beauty and the cultural depth of Jeju Island.
Oreum Residency offers high-quality residential living spaces and studio areas to a total of 10 emerging artists and creatives. The program is open to 5 artists based in South Korea and 5 international artists under the age of 35. The main communication language is English.
When does the residency start?
This four-week residency program begins on the first week of November 2024, and will culminate in a closing exhibition, scheduled from November 29th to December 15th 2024. Please refer to Attachment A for more detailed information.
Who created Oreum?
Oreum is a collaborative project facilitated by Cedar Hill, a residential space developer in Jeju, and co-organized by DiSilence Creative Agency, a creative agency in Atlanta USA, and Zip Amsterdam, a cultural non-profit foundation in the Netherlands.
