Peter Jensen’s Muses
HIT: 8223
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Museum of Art (MoA) at Seoul National University is greatly honored and pleased to host this exciting exhibition. Today’s
opening ceremony is graced especially with the presence of HRH The Crown
Prince Frederik and HRH The Crown Princess Mary. I would like to extend
my sincere gratitude to The Crown Prince and The Crown Princess for
coming all the way to Seoul to be with us on this special occasion.
MoA, designed by the world famous architect Rem Koolhaas, is renowned for its novel exhibitions and innovative educational programs. Under the new leadership of Professor Kwon Young Gull, MoA is opening a new chapter with exciting projects that will continue to enrich the academic community and the community surrounding the university. Today’s collaborative exhibition between MoA and the young Denmark designer Peter Jensen is one of such efforts.
I believe this exhibition will accomplish two important feats: first, strengthen the Danish-Korean Green Growth Alliance. Secondly, bring Denmark and Korea closer by giving the Korean audience an invaluable opportunity to see close at hand the cutting-edge design of Peter Jensen. showcases muses who have inspired the designer’s
collections. Jensen has presented his collections during the London, Paris and
New York fashion week, calling on over 25 muses for inspiration, but this is
the first time Jensen’s works are being presented to the Korean public.
This special visit by Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark’s son HRH The
Crown Prince Frederik, his wife HRH The Crown Princess Mary and the
young designer Peter Jensen to MoA, is without a doubt a symbolic
stepping stone in the deepening of the alliance between Korea and
Denmark.
I would like to thank you all again for joining us for today’s opening. My special thanks to Kwon Young Gull, the Director of MoA and everyone who has worked hard to make this exhibition possible. Support from The Ministry of Culture Denmark, The British Council, Royal Danish Embassy, and Montana(sponsor) was also indispensible in making this event possible. My deep gratitude for your enthusiastic support.
I hope all of us will enjoy and be inspired by this very special exhibition.
Thank you.
