Art projects transform provincial cities

 

2010-05-31

 

A peculiar café opened this month in an old town hall building in Banjuk-dong, Gongju city in South Chungcheong Province.

Dusty windows and dull gray plastered walls of the original building were nowhere to be seen. Instead, freshly painted windowsills, colorful banners, tables, chairs and fun decorations brightened up the space. The once abandoned site had turned into a bright, lively cove filled with joyful conversations and the aroma of rich coffee.

[East Sea(1)] 동해인가 일본해인가

 

East Sea/Sea of Japan, what is the problem?

 

2010-05-24

 

The East Sea/Sea of Japan has a surface of 978,000 square kilometers, a maximum depth of 3,742 meters, and an average depth of 1752 m. This sea is a relatively wide and expansive sea bordered by Korea, Japan and Russia which stretches for about 1,100 km from Wonsanman Bay in the west to Hokkaido in the northeast and for about 1,700 km from the Korea Strait in the south to the Tartar Strait in the north.

The sea is connected with the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean via the Korea Strait in the southwest, the Pacific Ocean in the east via the Tsugaru Strait which divides Honshu and Hokkaido, and the Sea of Okhotsk by both the La Pérouse (or Soya) Strait which separates Hokkaido from the Russian islands of Sakhalin and the Tartary Strait which separates Sakhalin from the eastern coast of Siberia. Without these four narrow channels, the sea would be an enclosed sea surrounded by land.

Economic growth was once considered the top priority of Korea. In the ’70s and ’80s, the national slogan was “exporting is the only way to survive,” and factory building was in full swing in Korea.

In the areas around Guro-dong and Garibong-dong, in southern Seoul, the Guro Industrial Complex was built. The Garibong-dong five-way intersection served as the border that divided the complex. To the north of the intersection, electronics assembly factories moved in while clothes and sewing factories gathered in the south. The most famous outlet street, the Gasan Digital Complex area, grew from discount outlets situated at the corner of the clothing factories in the southern part of the industrial complex.

But to the Emerson String Quartet, one of the longest lasting and most successful in the history of string quartets, having one more in the group is rather the magic to reinforcing the depth and strength of their bond both in friendship and music.

“Thirty-three years ago, people frowned upon us for our two violinists taking turns being the first and second violin; they thought it was out of convention, but now people see how that works with all of us; it’s a quartet of equals,” said violist Lawrence Dutton. “We’ve been fortunate that we all get along, because it’s not very easy for quartets to do so.”

The Korean Catholic Church has 226 years of history. The first Christian from Korea was Lee Seung-hun, who was baptized into the Christian faith in Beijing in 1784. Of the 200-year history of the Korean Catholic Church, half of it has been a series of ordeals and persecutions. During the first 100 years after the Catholic faith was introduced to Korea, the church and many Christians went through numerous ordeals and many Christians were martyred during this period. Therefore there are many sacred places related to these ordeals and martyrdom in Seoul. Now that it’s spring, when everything comes alive, let’s go on a pilgrimage guided by Fr.
