[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] On the 20th, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon will attend the opening ceremony of the '2022 Hangang Sculpture Project Naknak Yuram' held at Ttukseom Hangang Park, deliver a congratulatory speech, and view the exhibition works.

About 50 officials, including Lee Kwang-soo, President of the Art Association, and Yoon Young-dal, Chairman of the K-Sculpture Organizing Committee, will attend the opening ceremony.

This Hangang Sculpture Project 'Naknak Yuram' is the second sculpture exhibition following last year's 'Hangang "Heung" Project' hosted by Seoul City and K-Sculpture. In October last year, Seoul City held the sculpture exhibition 'Hangang "Heung" Project' to promote cultural enjoyment for citizens and expand the base of domestic sculpture art. A total of 287 domestic sculptors participated, and 300 works were installed across three Hangang parks.

The exhibition will be held at Ttukseom Hangang Park from the opening ceremony through September 21. In the outdoor space, about 300 works that harmonize well with the surrounding environment, such as walking trails and waterfront areas within the park, will be displayed, while approximately 800 works will be exhibited indoors. Visitors can experience works featuring various sculpting techniques by famous domestic sculptors as well as emerging sculptors active in Korea.

Through his congratulatory speech, Mayor Oh expressed his expectation that this exhibition will provide great comfort to citizens' lives in the post-pandemic era, where COVID-19 has changed daily life.
