전각 박물관 / For the Spirit
우리에겐 사색이 필요하다.
여기에 우리에게 사색의 기회를 주는 곳이 있다. 
전각 박물관 우석 최규명 선생의 작품을 들여다보면 450여점이 다 다른것도 그렇거니와 그 과정의 인내와 인고가 느껴져 경이로움과 함께 고개가 숙여진다. 전각 박물관은 신촌 아트레온 CGV 5층에 있으며, 전시장은 10평 남짓이다. 다행이 층고 7.4m는 높아 우리는 크게 세부분으로 나누어 전시를 계획했다. Main-Show case는 반복해서 집중 할 수 있게 하였으며 확장성을 목적으로 한 거울(鏡) 벽면에는 작품들을 인화해서 프린팅 해 놓았고 작품해석과 함께 자율적으로 감상하도록 했다. 계단 난간도 활용, 전시를 했으며, 450여점 모두를 보여주기 위해 저장고에 수장(저장)하는 대신 벽체 자체를 Showcase 化 하여 작품 모두를 볼 수 있게 하였다. 계단을 따라 내려가면 연인끼리 혹은, 혼자서 조용히 집중해서 볼 수 있게끔 시청각실을 마련하였다. 전시장 정면에는 최규명 선생의 자화상(인내천, 천내심)이 우릴 또 한번, 감동으로 이끈다. 

그리고 보니…
그는 철학자이기도 하다. 
무심한 세상에 현대인(우리들)에게 큰 선물을 주고 가셨다.

For the Spirit Opening our eyes in the morning, 
we start off the day being exposed to various noises from the radio, television, and traffic. Day by day, we busily live through these days and get exhausted from all the tiredness. We are in need of contemplation. And here is a place that gives us that chance for contemplation. The JeonGak Museum. When looking at the work of Professor GyuMyoung Choi (WooSeok), It is a marvel on its own. 450 pieces of work all distinct, Composition / proportion / harmony / artistry It is hard to believe that decades-old art work can look so modern. Was there even such a thing called calligraphy back then? He was no doubt a genius and a true artist. ‘JeonGak’ (seal carving) – I could feel the hard work and time spent into the process, Which made me stand in awe. Mr. Choi’s works of seal carvings carry deep emotions impacting our hearts. The JeonGak Museum is located on the 5th floor of Sinchon CGV Artreon with a gross area of approximately 33m². Fortunately, the 7.4m floor height was high enough for us to plan the exhibition in 3 separate spaces. Main display showcases were placed in a repeated manner to grab attention, while prints and descriptions of art works were posted on to reflective mirror walls, which gave a sense of spatial expansion. Spaces along the staircase were also utilized for the exhibition. In order to display all 450 pieces of work, walls became showcases to show every single art piece to the audience, rather than storing away portions of work. Down along the stairs, there is an audio visual room where a couple or an individual can quietly watch the displayed content. I strongly recommend watching the audio-visual content. One will be surprised all over again by the level of detail and beauty behind the art works. The color scheme of the whole exhibition space was set to charcoal grey. Silhouettes of our Korean traditional lattices are visible when moving our focus to the ceiling. They carry a subtle presence because of the desaturated color. At the front of the exhibition space, Professor Choi’s self portraits(Innaechun, Chunnaesim) are displayed,

Which emotionally moves us once more.
Come to think of it, He is also a philosopher. 
He left a precious gift for the modern people(us) in an indifferent world.
