제 5회 서울 도심 스케치전을 마치며

안녕하세요!

유난히 무더웠던 8월 명동의 유네스코 회관 12층 배롱나무 카페에서 열렸던 전시를 무사히 마쳤습니다. 그리고 작은 정성을 모아 유네스코 교육 사업에 성금을 기탁하였습니다. 

그림을 걸면서 자신의 작품을 객관적으로 보게 되는 계기가 되고 모르는 분들께서 남기는 글속에서 소통을 경험합니다. 그러한 나눔이 앞으로 할 작업들에 귀한 영양소가 되리라고 생각합니다.

그동안 찾아 주신 많은 분들과 귀한 공간을 제공해주신 유네스코 한국 위원회에도 깊이 감사드립니다.

I visited the National Museum of Korea, Yongsan, Seoul last week. There was a special exhibition "Discoveries from the Sinan Shipwreck"(신안해저선 유물전). I want to quote the introduction written in the brochure for the exhibition as follows.

"The National Museum of Korea proudly presents Discoveries from the Sinan Shipwreck, a special exhibition commemorating the 40th anniversary of the excavation.
Excavation of the Sinan shipwreck began when a local fisherman caught a celadon vase in a net off the coast of Jeungdo, Sinan, Jeollanam-do Province in August 1975. Starting on October 27, 1976, the Bureau of the Cultural Heritage (currently the Cultural Heritage Administration of Korea) initiated a full-scale excavation and salvaged a huge quantity of artifacts---amounting to 24,000 pieces. These discoveries from the Sinan Shipwreck are presented in this special exhibition.
The comprehensive special exhibition was organized to present as many artifacts as possible from the Sinan shipwreck. While appreciating these remarkable cultural treasures, visitors can also gain a deeper understanding of the nature of the Sinan ship and fourteenth century trade and exchange of East Asia.
Sunk beneath the sea for around 650 years, the Sinan shipwreck appeared to us like a time capsule, an we hope that this exhibition will serve as a turning point for future research on the shipwreck."

I felt very impressed by the discoveries from the ship sunk on 14 centuries.
