[Asia Economy Reporter Tae-min Ryu] POSCO Engineering & Construction announced on the 23rd that it held a public sculpture exhibition made from waste materials at Central Park in Songdo, Incheon on the 22nd.

The exhibition started the day before and the works will be displayed at Central Park in Songdo, Incheon until the 28th. On the 24th, an animal-making experience event using waste wood from Mullae-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul is scheduled to take place.

Although public interest in resource upcycling is increasing, it has been undervalued due to being made from recycled materials. POSCO Engineering & Construction explained that this exhibition was held to enhance the scalability of upcycling through junk art.

Named "Steel Art Season 3: Coexistence X3," this exhibition showcased works created using scrap metal left over from actual construction sites, bolts, nuts, iron pieces unused at Mullae-dong ironworks, as well as everyday discarded items such as cutlery holders and strainers.

Aligned with the theme of biodiversity, the works feature bees, stray cats, and whales?species threatened by the climate crisis?created through collaboration between three artists active in the Mullae area and local ironworkers.

After the exhibition ends, the bee sculpture used in the exhibition will be moved to Dalbit Park in Songdo, the neighborhood cat sculpture will be relocated to the Cat School on Yonghodo Island in Tongyeong City, and the whale sculpture will be installed in consultation with local governments near whale habitats.
