interest saved vs. predatory rates

Until the next exhibition, the next performance. For artists, income gaps are an unavoidable reality. For fellow artists forced into predatory loans just to afford paint, canvas, and studio rent, proceeds from this artwork become the Seed Fund — extending a fair hand at fair rates.

Voices of fellow artists

“The memory of going hungry for three days, alone, so my children wouldn't know.”

— 50s, theater artist

“I've been putting off urgent dental treatment because I can't afford it. I should be seeing a doctor regularly, but enduring instead of going has become a habit.”

— 50s, actor

“I kept delaying ear treatment because I had no money, and the symptoms in both ears worsened.”

— 30s, musician

“I couldn't pay my hospitalized mother's bills, so we had to delay her discharge, and she had to give up tests and treatment she needed.”

— 50s, actor/broadcaster

“Because of money troubles I had nowhere to go — drifting between gosiwon rooms and rehearsal studios, and for a while sleeping rough.”

— 30s, musician

“Because of unpaid rent, my collective was forced to vacate our shared workspace and home. Neither bank loans nor artist loans could help.”

— 50s, actor

“Without money, life collapses — and creating art? Out of the question.”

— 50s, artist

“It's painful that solving this month's money problems has to come before the work itself. As an artist, I can only earn well when the work succeeds — yet I have to chase odd jobs every month instead. It feels like being trapped in a vicious cycle.”

— 40s, musician

“Debt collection calls disrupted my rehearsals and performances, and the psychological burden made every day painful and the next day frightening.”

— 40s, theater artist

“Many times the loan payments looming each month forced me to step away from performing and focus on part-time work.”

— 50s, actor

“Sleeping less than four hours a night, juggling part-time jobs and theater — but the more I performed, the more debt piled up. Eventually I decided to quit performing.”

— 30s, actor

“When things were hardest, I couldn't even attend close friends' weddings or funerals — and as a result, relationships were severed.”

— 50s, actor/broadcaster

“When I said I was a stage actor, the loan officer called me "unemployed."”

— 50s, actor

“The shame and severed friendships that came with borrowing from people I knew, the pressure of failing to pay it back, the helplessness.”

— 50s, cartoonist/visual artist

“Even with programs meant for low-income citizens, I feel shame when I can't produce enough documentation simply because I'm an artist.”

— 30s, film/broadcasting professional

About the Artist

Kim Juho graduated from Seoul National University's College of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture, and its graduate school. He has held solo exhibitions including Between People (Gwanhun Gallery, 2012) and Lively Landscape (Gahoedong 60, 2012), and has participated in numerous curated exhibitions. His works are in the collections of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Daejeon Museum of Art, and Seoul Olympic Museum of Art (SOMA), among others. He has consistently produced three-dimensional and two-dimensional works that reinterpret people and everyday landscapes with his distinctive contemplation and ease. Beginning from everyday life, his meditative approach draws diverse stories from our surroundings, fostering empathy and communication. His work Wonderful! conveys a curiosity about the world, while the magnifying glass form in Window to the World signifies the desire to see through objects and clarify relationships. These distinctive figurative depictions of the human form connect to his revolving figures, seemingly speaking to the human relationships in our lives.
