오방색

o bang saek

오방색 (o bang saek) is an integrated darklight space for exploring color, culture, and iconography in a context that de-centers the Western paradigm. Like much of what is taken for granted as absolutes or fixed truths, the color wheel and color spectrums are cultural manifestations. These relative reference points are not fixed in time or space. Exhibition news and announcement will also be made on 오방색.
