Jikji is the title of the oldest known book to be printed using movable metal type. It is a Korean Buddhist document of Zen teaching made in Cheongju in 1377.  Exhibits ranging from fragile 600-year old cultural artefacts to a 60-degree virtual reality film, and from highly crafted work made from thousands of ceramic pieces spelling the word ‘seed’ in the Hangul (Korean) alphabet to a DNA portrait created on the glass from human cells.

Centered around and inspired by the Korean writing system Hangul, this exhibition features works by the Typographer AHN Sang-Soo, the challenging Photography of CHUN Kyung-Woo, the graceful Calligraphy of KIM Jong-Won and the highly acclaimed fashion designer and cultural icon LIE Sang-Bong.
