Exhibition Thaddaeus Ropac

Thaddaeus Ropac Seoul is participating in the inaugural edition of Hannam Saturdays by offering guided tours of the group show That Inward Eye and Alex Katz Studies, both currently on view at the gallery. Hannam Saturdays is a new seasonal initiative inviting galleries across Seoul's Hannam district to encourage deeper engagement among local galleries, artists, institutions, collectors, and the public. The program activates exhibitions simultaneously through tours, conversations, artist-led programs, and special events, presenting them as a connected network of creativity rather than isolated destinations. Artify Guide supplies an interactive map of participating galleries and their programs.

The Signal

The coordinated format in one of Seoul's leading contemporary art districts signals an effort to build sustained cross-gallery traffic and strengthen the neighborhood's cultural identity for collectors and curators. By linking multiple exhibitions into a single itinerary, the initiative may raise visibility for artists such as Alex Katz while testing a model of district-wide collaboration that could influence programming strategies elsewhere.
