FOUNDER
Deokgyun Jung
Gallerist · Founder of RIRRI Corporation.
Deokgyun Jung is a Seoul-based gallerist and the founder of RIRRI Corporation.
Curated 180+ exhibitions to date.
01 — PRACTICE
Art and production, together.
Operating from Jongno-gu, he runs the contemporary art program under thereyouare (web), thereyouare:index (archive), and gallery tya (physical space), where he curates first solo shows of emerging artists alongside group exhibitions of established practitioners.
His curatorial approach favors works that hold their own time and breathing — across painting, drawing, photography, and sculptural practice — and treats the gallery as a place where artists and collectors meet on equal ground.
In parallel, he runs RIRRI Corporation, a B2B apparel manufacturing and print studio, working at the intersection of art and commercial production.
