The Floorplan is an art platform without physical space. It presents exhibitions, projects and publishes art books to vary established art practices. Originally used in architecture and building engineering to mean the layout of a structure from above, the term ‘floor plan’ generally means a map or guide of an exhibition indicating the artworks on display when used in an artistic context. The Floorplan aims to function as a guide to present diversity in contemporary art and to map out a new way to institutionalize contemporary art. By naming itself after a term used to signify physical and tangible space, it reconsiders the meaning of space in contemporary art and seeks possibilities of solidarity beyond the parameters of time and space in the ways in which it plays with the concept of platform, and ultimately attempts to investigate the ways to vary established artistic practices. Furthermore, the Floorplan approaches contemporary art as global content which is not restricted by its origin while also considering the significance of locality. All the content on the website will be written in both English and Korean.
