Event Description : EXHIBITION "Sarangbang : The room for leisurely life" by Onyang Folk Museum, Republic of Korea in collaboration with Korean Cultural Centre, New Delhi.
The Sarangbang was both a place of study for the seonbi (Confucian scholars) of old Korea, a setting for mastering the old and learning the new as well as a place of education and the fostering of future scholars. Each room was equipped with a wide range of items related to learning from the "Four treasures of study"
This exhibition attempts to provide deeper understanding on the living spaces of the Joseon Dynasty, while also promoting Korean aesthetics and the philosophies of classical scholars known as the seonbi. The Sarangbang is a room where scholars sought to strengthen their character. This was where the Seonbi studied - to master the old and the new. However, it was also a place to relax with guests and indulge in the beauty of arts. As it was meant to reflect the wisdom and character of the master of the house, the Sarangbang was decorated with moderated elegance which highlighted the Seonbi’s chaste virtues. The writing desk, oil lamp, calligraphy brush, ink stone, India ink, wooden pillow, scroll shelf, brazier, and chamber pot featured in this exhibit were carefully selected from the collection at the Onyang Folk Museum. Their structural beauty, simplicity, and modesty underscore the Seonbi’s ideal of elegant restraint. This exhibit also attempts to merge the traditional elements of the Sarangbang with our modern lifestyle. Thus, the exhibit collaborated with experts in photography, media, and design, which shed light on how contemporary artists and designers approach traditional themes. Through this unique reinterpretation of the Sarangbang, we are able to appreciate the values and principles embedded in our tradition while delving into the stories about the life of Seonbis. By witnessing a slice of life from the past, visitors can hopefully rediscover true leisure amid the rapid transformations of today’s hustle and bustle, and achieve a better understanding of Korea’s heritage and contemporary art.
