"GIL" is the expression of Korean "길" Romanized.
"GIL" means 'Chemin' in French and "Road" in English in a dictionary definition, but the meaning can be more wide.
"(hyphen)" is the symbol of connection of the characteristics which belong to the name of a place. For example, "가로수(Karosu)길(gil)" should be written as "Karosu-gil".


Eight Korean artists are gathered for "GIL PROJECT", and they started to find their own "metaphor" about "GIL" Sthrough this project. Each question was begun with the concept as a 'space' and then detailed with a "dictionary definition" and "their own experiences". Those questions were developed in a similar way but also in a very different way. Because "GIL" also presents each person's life process in a personal view, not only the space we are walking on.

"Questioning the way on the road".

Maybe it is the question given to us and also what "GIL PROJECT" is questioning to you.
