Gladstone has announced the expansion and relocation of its Seoul gallery to a new space in Hannam-dong, one of the city’s leading arts and cultural districts, later this summer.
 
This move is particularly notable as it establishes a new foothold in Hannam-dong, an area densely populated with major institutions such as the Leeum Museum of Art, as well as prominent local and international galleries. With a growing number of global galleries—including Esther Schipper—relocating to the neighborhood, Hannam-dong is rapidly emerging as a key hub in Seoul’s art market. Through this expansion, Gladstone aims to further strengthen its presence in Asia.
 
Gladstone Seoul’s new space will occupy two floors within the Hannam Building at 739-28 Hannam-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, doubling its current exhibition area. The building has been designed by the internationally renowned architecture firm Mass Studies, led by architect Minsuk Cho.
 
In late summer 2026, Gladstone Seoul will inaugurate its new space with a major solo exhibition by British contemporary artist Ed Atkins—marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in Seoul.
