2020 Saengsaeng Cultural Heritage Kansong Collection Academy - (1) Gyeomjae Jeong Seon

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongbuk-gu, in collaboration with the Kansong Art and Cultural Foundation, is conducting the 'Kansong Collection Academy - (1) Gyeomjae Jeong Seon' as part of the '2020 Saengsaeng Cultural Heritage Project,' utilizing Gyeomjae Jeong Seon's 'Gyeonggyo Myeongseungcheop 京郊名勝帖' (Treasure No. 1950).

Supported by the Cultural Heritage Administration, the Saengsaeng Cultural Heritage Project is a representative cultural heritage utilization program. The 'Kansong Collection Academy' will be available online every Wednesday at 3 PM from September 2 to October 7, 2020, on the YouTube channels 'Kansong Art and Cultural Foundation' and 'Seongbuk Village TV.'

The 'Kansong Collection Academy' aims to explore the meaning and value of cultural heritage collected by Mr. Kansong Jeon Hyeongpil through works by Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, including 'Gyeonggyo Myeongseungcheop,' held at the Kansong Art Museum, and to provide the public with opportunities to enjoy cultural heritage.

'Gyeonggyo Myeongseungcheop' is an album of paintings by Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, a master of true-view landscape painting, depicting famous scenic spots around Seoul and along the Han River.

The 'Kansong Collection Academy' was planned as vivid on-site lectures by top experts in each field; however, due to the spread of COVID-19, lecture videos are being provided instead through the YouTube channels of the Kansong Art and Cultural Foundation and Seongbuk Village TV.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “Seongbuk-gu is a region rich in historical and cultural resources, so much so that it is called the ‘museum without a roof.’ Currently, as we participate in social distancing for the health and safety of ourselves and our neighbors due to COVID-19, we have prepared an opportunity to experience Seongbuk-gu’s cultural heritage online. This will be a chance to appreciate the works of Gyeomjae Jeong Seon, which Mr. Kansong Jeon Hyeongpil loved and sought to protect, in a diverse and in-depth way from home.”
