[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The World Youth Culture Foundation announced on the 4th that it will hold an exhibition of works from the '2021 Daekyo International Sculpture Symposium' at the Dream Gallery of Bukseoul Dream Forest Art Center.

The 'Daekyo International Sculpture Symposium' is a cultural and artistic sponsorship project conducted by the World Youth Culture Foundation since 2000 to discover emerging artists in the field of three-dimensional art.

This year, 10 domestic artists were finally selected and, together with assistant artists, engaged in creative activities using various materials such as stone, iron, and wood at the Crown Haitai Sculpture Studio in Yangju, Gyeonggi-do for 18 days starting from September 29.

The completed works will be exhibited at the Dream Gallery of Bukseoul Dream Forest Art Center until the 7th. Anyone interested in three-dimensional art, including university students, can view the exhibition free of charge.

Starting this year, the Daekyo International Sculpture Symposium awards the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award, which was honored to artist Hwang Jaewon (Kookmin University) for contributing to cultural exchange cooperation. Additionally, artists Lee Chihyun (Sungshin Women’s University), Bae Hyunwoo (Chung-Ang University), and Maeng Gukho (Dankook University), who contributed to the revitalization of the three-dimensional sculpture field, received the Gwayeo Award (Mr. Shin Hyungyun), the Cheonggang Award (Mr. Lee Sangan), and the Matsuo Friendship Award (Chairman of Japan’s Kibi System), respectively.

A representative of the World Youth Culture Foundation said, “This exhibition was held to support young and talented artists who do not lose their dreams and hopes despite the difficult environment caused by COVID-19,” and added, “Next year, we plan to invite overseas artists who could not participate due to the pandemic to create a venue for international artistic exchange.”
