Various sculptures placed around the YU (President Sur Gil-soo) campus captured the attention of students passing by. Students stopped to take a look at the various sculptures on campus at the main gate, Cheonma Art Center, and Mirror Pond.
YU School of Fine Arts Trans Art major students made various artwork for the third year at the college festival since 2016. The YU campus was transformed into a massive art gallery during the college festival period.
YU School of Fine Arts Trans Art Professor Shin Gi-woon that planned out the student exhibit said, “The students planned out this outdoor exhibit on campus so that other students on campus can pause while naturally appreciating artwork.”
In particular, sculptures made by employees of the Facility Management Office using various recycled materials so that members of YU can enjoy art. Employees of the Facility Management Office that made sculptures for the first time said, “Our entire team worked together for three months, but it was not easy to make sculptures without having additional materials expenses.” He added, “I hope that everyone visiting our school during the Daedong Festival will be able to enjoy the festival while viewing the eco-friendly sculptures.”
Meanwhile, the festival was highlighted with the ‘Run History’ tournament in commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the March 1 Movement and the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and the ‘Musical Campus’ hosted by the Cheonma Art Center to add meaning to the festival with various cultural events.
YU President Sur Gil-soo said, “This year’s YU festival will showcase not only the works of trans art majors, but also the works made by faculty all around campus,” adding, “I hope that the college festival will be an opportunity for members of YU to spend time with the community.”
