Venezuela, Korea mark 60 years of ties with sculpture
Venezuela and South Korea are commemorating 60 years of diplomatic ties with an artistic showcase in Seoul. Featuring works by renowned Venezuelan and Korean sculptors, the Venezuelan Embassy and Seoul Olympic Museum of Art are co-hosting the Soma Sculpture Art Platform (SSAP), which reimagines two iconic pieces from the Olympic Sculpture Park as immersive indoor sculptures. The featured works, by Venezuelan art pioneer Jesus Rafael Soto and famed Korean sculptor Moon Shin, will remain on display at SOMA until August 31. 'Venezuela and Korea have reached the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations,' said Venezuelan Embassy Charge d'Affaires Isabel Di Carlo Quero. 'It occurred on the 29th of April of 1965, and since then, many types of exchanges among our countries have been made in the context of respect and mutual recognition.' The exhibition aims to spotlight kinetic art, a genre for which Venezuela is globally recognized. 'The legacy of important artists that belong to the Venezuelan kinetic art movement — Masters Carlos Cruz Diez, Jesus Soto and Victor Salas, the major exponents in Venezuela and Latin America of Kinetic Arts — are represented here in Seoul,' Di Carlo Quero said paying tribute to the legacy of her country's artistic giants. 'This artistic connection represents the 'Venezuelan affirmative' — a phrase that reminds us that the pride of being Venezuelan comes with work, talent, dedication, honesty — the values that characterize the Venezuelan affirmative worldwide,' she added. Of the 194 sculptures housed across the Olympic Sculpture Park's five sections, four are by Venezuelan artists, with pieces by Soto and Cruz Diez being particularly acclaimed. The event drew more than 60 attendees, including diplomats from various embassies, underscoring the role of cultural diplomacy in fostering mutual understanding between nations. sanjaykumar@
