CICA Museum (Czong Institute of Contemporary Art) was founded in 1994 by sculptor Czong Ho Kim.  The complex consists of five buildings designed and built by the artist in a park-like setting 16 miles from the capital Seoul.  The mission of the Museum is to introduce contemporary art produced by artists from different regions and cultures to a global audience.  In 2019 and 2020 “Art Teleported” an exhibition and conference for Nomad Artists was organized by the Museum and held in Brooklyn, NY.
