This set documents our first major Exhibition of 2010, "Buddha Speaks with a New Voice: Who am I?" (10th Apr-29th May)
This Exhibition was produced with Korea's delightful Mok-A Buddhist Museum.
This colourful exhibition of traditional and contemporary Buddhist art featured a selection of the Mok-A Buddhist Museum’s finest examples of traditional Buddhist Art along with contemporary examples by Important Intangible Cultural Asset No.108, Wood Sculptor Park Chan-soo.
Park Chan-soo has given his life and career to the preservation and creation of Buddhist sculpture. As a sculptor and teacher, Park Chan-soo leads classes to students from across the world, to ensure that his skills will be passed on to the next generation. Through his life’s work, Park Chan-soo has sought the true meaning behind Buddha’s teachings. The results of this personal journey of reflection and contemplation can be seen in Park’s contemporary pieces where humility and a love for your fellow man shine through. Park’s life has therefore not just been about the continuation of his special skills, but also about attaining enlightenment: an enlightenment that is achieved by understanding oneself and spreading the teachings of Buddha.
The title of the exhibition ‘Buddha Speaks with a New Voice: Who am I?’ reflects this enlightenment and the journey Park Chan-soo has taken to achieve it.
The Exhibition took place from 10th Apr-29th May 2010.
A Video of the Opening of the Exhibition can be seen here: the video features a welcome from H.E CHOO Kyu ho as well as a rare live sculpting performance from Park Chan-soo himself.
