Upcoming Events at EXCO (2016)

Farewell to 2015, year 2016 is about to arrive!

What kind of Color, Animal are you?

In Korea, each year has its own representative colored animal. This year was the 'blue horse year', and the following 2016 is the year of 'red monkeys'. It is decided by a simple rule using the sexagenary cycle. A cycle of sixty years used in the calendar of China and some other countries such as Korea and Japan. It is based on the combination of two basic cycles of ten and twelve. The traditional method of numbering days and years no longer has any significant role nowadays, but it is used as a metaphorical way to tell one's age.

Introduce yourself in a sexagenary cycle, the response would be more than surprised!

   For example, If you were born in 1986, you are born in Byeong In Nyeon(year).
First, as you can see on the right table, as tje heavenly stem is 'Byeong' you are born on the 'Red' year. Second step is the earthly stems, which is 'In', the corresponding animal is tiger. Therefore you were born on the 'Red Tiger Year'.

  In the same way, year 2016 is the year of
Red Monkeys. I recommend not to say Byeong Shin year out loud because even though it has different meanings, it is a synonym of a swear word!

A born artist: Lee, Insung

Wall of Creation

Lee Insung Apple Tree Street

At Daegu Gyesan catholic church, there is a persimmon tree called 'Lee In Sung Tree'. It is derived from Lee Insung's painting 'Gyesandong Sungdang(Gyesan catholic Church)'.

<Gyesandong Sungdang, 1930s>

Born at Daegu 1912, Lee Insung is one of the representative painters of Korea's modern western art. Some call him the 'Korean Paul Gauguin'. He built an western art institute at 1936, at the time when even a small art school didn't exist at Daegu. He died young at 39 years old, but his powerful stroke of brush and loud color remains forever.

To honor his legacy, Daegu has created an 'Lee Insung Apple Tree Street' this June. Located nearby EXCO, his paintings has been reproduced on the street walls at the size of over 7 meters. Interestingly, the mural of his famous masterpiece <Apple Tree> is painted more red than the original painting. It has a meaning of finishing the spirit of the modern age, which they could not finish due to Japanese colonial period.

Recently, the second mural project was finished by the community service center and Lee Insung Art Center headquarters. Students and residents who live near the Apple tree street has involved in the mural work. They have suggested ideas such as making photo zones,  re-creating the cafe 'ARS', a cafe which Lee Insung has managed, which means 'Art' in Latin.
