[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] The Gwangjin Cultural Foundation announced on the 8th that it will hold a public art exhibition, 'Art Symbol Trophy,' at the outdoor plaza of Naru Art Center.

'Art Symbol Trophy' is a sculpture by artist Jeong Kyung-woo that kitschly reinterprets symbols from the works of Dal?, Duchamp, Rodin, Magritte, Mondrian, Basquiat, and Andy Warhol?artistic icons of modern society?with the message that we are all trophy winners.

This exhibition is part of the 'Square Project,' which has been ongoing since 2020 to transform the outdoor plaza of Naru Art Center into a street where culture and art breathe. This year, a public contest was held in March for artists from Gwangjin-gu.

Until the 28th, visitors who come to the 'Narurang Busking' event every Friday and post photos certifying their viewing of the artworks will receive exhibition souvenirs (mugs) on a first-come, first-served basis.

Han Jinseop, president of the Gwangjin Cultural Foundation, said, "'Art Symbol Trophy' is a work that anyone, regardless of age or gender, can comfortably enjoy. We hope people visit the Naru Art Center plaza with a light heart while taking a walk and enjoy the art." He added, "We will actively promote various programs so that the Naru Art Center plaza can become a representative space for culture and art in Gwangjin-gu."
