Gyeonggi Creation Center, located in Seongamdo, Ansan-si, is based on the locality where there were inevitable historical, social, and economic issues during the modernization of Korea, which occurred in a compressed form. Artists with different backgrounds move-in every year, focusing on the little stimulus that Seongamdo gives with their innate uniqueness. While staying at the GCC, they are not asked to have a specific direction in their works. However, they highlight the discussion points of the contemporary era through artistic practice with their unique perspective, attitude, and personal experiences. The preview exhibition of 2017 Gyeonggi Creation Center, <Drifting Unconsciousness>, will be the pre-game that estimates the broad artistic spectrum that artists will present, and 17 artists will create significant texts of arts by having their unique artistic identities and various regional characteristics embodied by Seongamdo to undergo a mutual relationship of gravitation.
Artists participating in this exhibition include those who focus on their characters, those who stay away from the world while showing their attitude and perspective, and those who focus on artistic performance and experimentation. The world they focus on and the way they show the world they choose are different points of existence for the artists, not identifiable but at the same time distinguishable from the others. The 2017 GCC Preview Exhibition <Drifting Unconsciousness> is sometimes reckless and dynamic, while at other times unstable and weak. However, we still expect that the preview will provide an excellent opportunity to experience the process of connecting with the world through their unique methods of existence.

The quiet forest surrounded by dense trees which Bin Woo-hyuk describes is a haven where people hide to seek peace and consolation from anxiety caused by a psychological situation complexly intertwined with reality.

Works of Jeon Heekyoung are the acts of artists who try to eliminate the rift between the ideal world and the adverse reality.
