The haubrok foundation and the Berlin University of the Arts are pleased to announce the winner of the first HAR Haubrok Artist Residency: Artist Seongwon Park works with a wide variety of media, from photography, painting, and drawing to sculpture and installation.
In her installations, Seongwon Park reproduces socio-architectural constellations taken from the urban environment. With her sculptures and installations, she portrays urban situations with a keen sense of their emotional content. She also incorporates her perspective as a native Korean living in Germany into her artistic work. With humor, she discovers the absurdities in everyday life and transforms them into installation situations.
Born in South Korea in 1990, she studied sculpture at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel and at the Berlin University of the Arts. In 2024, she completed her studies as a master student of Professor Ina Weber.
The artist wants to use the scholarship to explore the special history of the FAHRBEREITSCHAFT and its wider surroundings in Berlin-Lichtenberg.
The scholarship includes a studio and a payment of 5.000,00 €. In addition, the artist will have the opportunity to exhibit her work at the FAHRBEREITSCHAFT during Berlin Art Week 2026.
The jury for the first HAR Haubrok Art Residency consisted of Dorothea von Hantelmann, professor of art history at Bard College Berlin, Judith Hopf, professor at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, Stefan Neuner, professor of art history, art studies, and art theory at the Berlin University of the Arts, Mark Lammert, professor of painting and drawing at the Berlin University of the Arts, and Axel Haubrok, chairman of the haubrok foundation, Berlin.
