SEJONG CENTER

Participating universities and introduction

1. Gachon University

Kwon Na-young, Lee Chan-joo, Jeong Eun-song (academic advisor Lim Young-seon)
<2020 Ilwolobongbyeong>, which contains a message of hope and well-being for modern people, was reborn with a modern style by borrowing the traditional folk painting of a folding screen behind a royal seat of Jeongjeon, one of royal palaces during the Joseon Dynasty. <Chowol> expresses a crescent moon by using a PVC pipe to light up the Gwanghwamun Square due to the inspiration from the traditional Korean window design. Chowol, in other words, is a crescent moon. Even if it is not a full moon that symbolizes affluence but a first step becoming a full moon to give hope to viewers.

2 Dongguk University
Kim Min-soo, Park Jae-seong, Seo Dong-hae, Seong Tae-yoon, Jeon Ki-soo, Cho Won, Cho Eun-sang (academic advisor Kim Hwang-rok)
<Not Flowing Over> and <But Intensely> express the desire and joy of Sejong Center which witnessed the square of freedom and struggle in front. The two works sought to represent our positive future by creating a huge flow of figures using the practical and morphological characteristics of materials. In the past dissonance for development, we have learned to speak out as matured members instaed of struggles. Such right direction of flow was designed to express the admiration for our matured society by visualizing a huge flow of CD tubes from the wire mesh of the works.

3 Sungshin Women’s University
Kim Gyu-jin, Kim Ri-hyun, Kim Jae-in, Nam Ji-hyung, Seo Seung-won, Song Hyun-goo, Lee Seung-ho, Cha Jeong-ah (academic advisor Kim Seong-bok)

<Mugunghwa Flowers Have Bloomed> symbolizes the desire of people that the footsteps of Korea’s history and development sprout in Gwanghwamun Square and Mugunghwa comes into flower. <The Magic Garden> was created as a sculpture by breathing life into rocks on a small stone road situated at the rear of Sejong Center to attract citizens' attention and give them a pleasant imagination.

4 Chung Ang University(중앙대)
Kim Na-yoon, Kim Young-soo, Kim Yoon-ho, Bae Hyun-woo, Seo Ji-woo, Woo Seong-gyun, Lee Sang-hyun, Heo Ji-hyun (academic advisor Yang Tae-geun)

<Peace-Peace> summoned our daily lives by bringing out pigeons, the symbol of peace, to the outside of Sejong Center so that we could feel a little closer to peace. <Hello> metaphorically expresses the history of Gwanghwamun and a public telephone. In 1980, a public telephone appeared for the first time in South Korea. Since then, the telephone had been an absolute means of contact. To call your parents or lover outside your home, you had to extend the call by putting a few coins. Although it was a small space where numerous stories were made, it became the despair for us as of 2020. With more than one mobile phone per person, plenty of stories created through a public telephone will soon remain a page of history. Like the history of a public telephone, that of Gwanghwamun extends to personal memories and recollections and showcases a public telephone box as a new work for the audience to remind the word communication between the past and the present.
