ABOUT

Homage to the Square is a research project for Eunji Park's doctoral research, aiming to convert bibliographic information of artist book collections into Linked Open Data(LOD) to create a digital archive. Park is currently working towards a PhD at the University of the Arts Berlin(UDK).

The project focuses on studying artist's books as an art medium since the 20th century, with an emphasis on exhibition and educational methodologies. Initiated in 2018, the Homage to the Square project participated in the Artbook Berlin fair that same year. In 2022, it received support from the Korea Arts Council's Exhibition Pre-research Project, which enabled research trips and stakeholder interviews. As of 2024, the project has evolved into Linked ABC, a semantic web initiative based on Linked Open Data(LOD).
