Abstract
As the Director of the Korea Centre, I am very pleased to host the "5518.8880" Exhibition at CU Coventry. This exhibition is part of the Korea Day Festival in Coventry which was generously supported by the Korean Cultural Centre UK. Besides the Korean Cultural Centre UK, the Gangwon Art & Culture Foundation, the Academy of Korean Studies and Galgol Food Co. also supported the exhibition. This exhibition is a tremendously valuable opportunity to promote the Korean arts in the UK, especially in Coventry, the City of Culture 2021. Personally, it is deeply meaningful as I could work with Heegyeong Seol from Daechumoo Fine Art, whoc is actively involved in the arts in my hometown, Gangneung. I would like to thank Heegyeong Seol, who showed outstanding dedication to the exhibition, Younghun Ham who donated his beautiful calligraphic works to the Korea Centre, and Youngsook Park, Chanhyo Bae, Meekyoung Shin, Dongwon Lee, Byungchan Kim and Hyunjung Koh, who participated in the exhibition with goodwill to promote the Korean arts in the UK. I feel grateful to Hyung Jun Choi from Galgol Food Co. for supporting the festival and the exhibition with delicious Hangwa, so that I can share the Hangwa that I used to enjoy in Gangneung with our visitors in the UK. In addition, I would like to thank Joohyun Song from the Korean Cultural Centre UK, Rachel Gordon and Diane Gane from Coventry University and Naomi Marlowe from CU Coventry for their dedication and professionalism in organising this exhibition. I especially thank Donghyeok Jeong from the Korea Centre who has worked on almost everything with me, whether big or small, while preparing for the festival and the exhibition. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge Kum-Young Kwon's outstanding commitment to the exhibition. She has organised the exhibition and even prepared her own artwork for the exhibition. Without Kum-Young Kwon, it would not have been possible to host this exhibition. It was quite challenging to organised the "5518.8880" during the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope that this exhibition contributes to closing the cultural distance between Korea and the UK. Thank you.
