The Sculptures in 88 Seoul Olympic Park, Korea.

in #travel6 years ago

I didn’t know before there were such many sculptures in the olympic park, even though I had been walking around this park several times before.

Thanks to the old couple posted in previous, I opened my eyes to find out the sculptures in the park.
During 88 Seoul Olympiad, the political power in Korea had been seized by the military oriented politicians. They tried to highlight the cultural aspect in 88 Seoul Olympiad to compensate for their harsh military dictatorship.

In this perspective, we can say that the sculptures in that park were the results of the reflection of the Korean political situation.
Much money seemed to be paid for those sculptures in the park.

Regardless of the process of installing those sculptures, it was interesting to looking around those art works.
The sculptures were scattered in large part of the park, so I could enjoy slowly walking around whole area of the park.

I don’t know whether they had the plan for arrangement of the sculptures.
In my opinion, the sculptures were arranged in three area.
Some sculptures were installed around and the near the buildings.

In my view, they had arranged those sculptures due to the size of the art works.
It was not easy for me to find out the meaning of the arrangement of those items.
Any way if you stop by 88 olympiad park, I recommend you of looking at those sculptures.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Very different and suspicious sculpts i hd never seen such before in my life

you are very lucky that you have visited this place many times.. awesome place to visit

There are countless examples of human ingenuity around the world, from a simple painting by a three-year-old girl with her hands on the wall, to architectural constructions, from high-speed trains and flying cars. The sculptures occupy a singular place, it is in this space that the artist captures a momentary idea that is immortalized. Beautiful samples that it has brought in its publication and there are some of the oriental origins and with many years of antiquity, that leaves us amazed at its existence.

Everything cool sir. Support me

Pictures are very beautiful, I am interested in some of your pictures.

조각상만 감상해도 시간가는 줄 모르겠어요.^^

조각품들이 개성이 있고
특별한 느낌이 듭니다.
구경하는 재미도 꽤 쏠쏠할 것 같아요^^

I've read about the Olympic Park, this is very interesting to many locals for sports facilities and cultural attractions, as well as its unique historical background. In 1984, the park was designed as a community sports, cultural and recreational event to honor the spirit of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Let's visit there ..!

A pesar del paso del tiempo esas Esculturas se ven mas vivas que nunca @slowwalker

very good art, its design is very unique and maybe hard to imitate ,, very impressive ... !!!

@slowwalker, 88 Seoul Olympic Park is such a most adorable park to visit for everyone. Most attractive thing is amazing Sculpture designs there. Open area very cool for being relaxation. Also unbelievable rock patterns showing Old Koreans proudable condition. Koreans had amazing technology for build up and made designs. Ever green massive trees increase environment beauty.

조각품들이 다양하네요...저런 조각품 보면 어떻게 만드는지 정말 신기 합니다.

I’ve JUST come back From Seoul and I missed this park while I was there - thanks for sharing this article @slowwalker so that I’ve finally had a chance to see it

Wow There are some sculptures that have strange but striking shapes, while others are more natural and simple! The variety of sculptures is fantastic I love how well you see the pictures thank you for sharing with us :)

oh, there are the very interesting sculpture

Nice surreal sculptures!

Thanks for the great story.

I remember how beautiful the opening of 88 Seoul Olympiad, was very impressive and colorful, we were very pleased to see first time Korea so open and close.

As to Sculptures, you sometimes can't guess what the creator thought what is his message. When I see such sculptures outside that reminds me for example Easter Island stone faces, then I just think may that were also sculptures of someone and was just placed there without any meaning.

Can you imagine what the future generation or may be aliens will think when they see our sculptures on the Earth :)

All buildings made of stone are very neat and nice
No loss if paid expensive ..

In my country we have a very strong military dictatorship that represses and kills daily and these are determined to show the world that it is not like that, that the country is in excellent conditions and that they are not dictators, perhaps the politicians of your country wanted to show you to the world through the Olympics and those sculptures that the country was not suffering a dictatorship.

But the sculptures really are very good, I love the style that each of them has.

You captured the Greatness and Existence of our creator in this beautiful work of Art. Excellent pictures.
