Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in the middle of a residential area near Gwangheungchang Station on Subway Line 6, Talyeongyeok Post Office is a long-term project by [Rea Collective] to transform the former Changjeon-dong Post Office building into a cultural space. The space is named after the old term for post office, 'Ujeongguk,' combining the meaning of 'post' as in 'after' from POST OFFICE, a place of communication, and 'tal' meaning 'beyond genre and boundaries,' resulting in the name 'Talyeongyeok Post Office.' Talyeongyeok Post Office aims for boundaryless art through the connection of physical platforms and content, with experiments over the 10-year lease period of the building. The space includes the first floor, which was formerly the post office work area, and the second floor, used as a residence. The first floor is primarily used for exhibitions, performances, screenings, and other purposes, while the second floor hosts various events such as exhibitions, small-scale projects, and workshops depending on the project. As a space repurposing idle space, Talyeongyeok Post Office retains traces of its post office days, including a large safe and an incinerator for waste. Rentals are differentiated into general rentals and collaborative rentals based on the event organizer and planning content. Talyeongyeok Post Office consistently presents experimental works by artists from various fields, including video, painting, installation, performance, workshops, screenings, lectures, and talks, not only in the art world but also in performance, experimental sound, and experimental art, offering diverse culture and arts to nearby students and local residents. It is a rare art space where visitors can view the gallery with their pets.
