In 2024, alongside the Phase 4 expansion of Incheon International Airport’s Terminal 2 (T2), a large-scale “Art Project” was unveiled on December 3, further solidifying the terminal’s identity as an “Art Port.”
The newly revealed Art Project includes nine art pavilions each on the east and west departure corridors (spanning approximately 1,930 meters in total length and covering 8,000㎡), as well as curated exhibitions featuring renowned Korean and international artists and traditional performances. Its key feature is providing travelers with extraordinary and immersive artistic experiences that go beyond the everyday.
The project takes a dual approach by interpreting Korean cultural content in contrasting ways for the east and west wings, creating a surprising and engaging dynamic. On the west departure corridor, world-renowned urban artist JonOne presents <Korea Jazz>, a work inspired by his travels through various regions of Korea including Seoul, Incheon, Jeonju, Gyeongju, and Jeju. Infused with JonOne’s signature abstract style, the piece follows the concept of “Playing with Colors”, expressing the spontaneity and freedom associated with jazz. The front side of the art pavilion features abstract forms, while the reverse side uses figurative techniques, offering a distinct and multidimensional artistic experience.
