김규리 작가의 7번째 개인전 ‘Lost Fangs (잃어버린 송곳니)’가 혜우원예술봉사단 주최, 갤러리미호 주관, 포스코스틸리온 포스아트 후원으로 열린다. 5월 9일부터 12일까지 서울아트페어 김규리 관에서 오프닝 전시, 그리고 5월 13일부터 31일 강남구민회관 전시실에서 메인 전시를 진행한다.

이번 전시는 일제강점기 동안 남획으로 멸종된 한반도의 포식자들인 늑대, 호랑이, 표범을 중심으로 진행한다. 이들 동물은 한 때 우리 땅을 누비며 우리 민족의 자존심과 용기를 상징하는 존재였다. ‘잃어버린 송곳니’는 작품을 통해 이 멸종된 동물들을 다시 깨워 우리의 잃어버린 역사와 자존감을 되살리자는 메시지를 전달하고자 한다.

전시 특징

‘Lost Fangs’의 메인 전시 테마는 ‘늑대무리’다. 늑대라는 동물은 사회성이 매우 강한 특징을 갖고 있다. 가족이 무리를 이뤄 서로를 보호한다. 작가는 멸종과 소멸을 이겨내는 최고의 무기는 바로 서로를 수호하는 것, 즉 무리를 이뤄 서로의 부족함을 채워주고 역경을 이겨내는 지혜라고 생각한다.

늑대무리는 우두머리 ‘팽’과 그를 둘러싼 동료 늑대인 ‘물(mool)’, ‘낮이’, ‘밤이’, ‘불이’, ‘백두’, ‘산이’, ‘언덕이’로 이뤄져 있다. 무리의 중심인 ‘팽’의 양 쪽에 위치한 ‘물’은 늑대무리의 결속력과 보호 본능을 상징한다. 특히 ‘산이’와 ‘언덕이’는 실제 흙을 사용해 늑대들의 일상과 자연 속에서의 생활을 생동감 있게 담아냈다. 이 전시는 늑대가 상징하는 사회성과 자연의 힘을 통해 멸종과 소멸을 극복하는 지혜를 예술적으로 표현한다.

이와 같은 의미를 살리기 위해 포스코스틸리온의 포스아트가 생산하는 친환경 스틸 캔버스를 선택했다. 스틸캔버스는 고해상도 컬러와 3D 적층 프린팅 기술로 작가가 원하는 배경을 형성할 수 있다. 작가는 적층된 캔버스 위에 흙과 다양한 자연 재료를 사용해 동물의 털과 표정을 생생하게 표현했다. 멸종된 동물들의 강인하면서도 부드러운 모습을 감각적으로 재현해 관람객들에게 더 깊은 감동과 메시지를 전달할 수 있게 됐다. 특히 스틸 소재는 재활용이 가능한 친환경적이란 점도 선택의 배경이 됐다.

작가가 ‘Lost Fangs (잃어버린 송곳니)’란 제목에 담은 또 다른 의미는 ‘현대 사회에서 점차 잃어가는 야생성과 자아를 잃어가는 순종’이다. 작가는 이번 작품을 통해 이를 다시 깨우고, 공동체의 발전을 위해 행동하는 용기의 중요성을 담고자 한다.

With a total purchase price of $2.275 billion, before taxes, fees and other adjustments, the deal increases the company’s revenue by over 60% and expands its customer base to more than 12,500 companies and network to more than 750 partners worldwide. In addition, the company welcomes more than 770 new software engineers, go-to-market professionals and other supporting team members and is hiring hundreds of additional Rocketeers to complement its existing team.

“Rocket Software’s customers are global market leaders that are constantly setting new benchmarks for excellence and innovation in their industries that we are proud to power and advance,” said Milan Shetti (https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rocketsoftware.com%2Fleadership-team&esheet=53969126&newsitemid=20240430605619&lan=en-US&anchor=Milan+Shetti&index=3&md5=419f544463e17eecacfd8775b36e0689), president and CEO of Rocket Software. “The acquisition of the OpenText AMC business is a significant milestone that sets a similar new standard for modernization innovation and excellence at Rocket Software and greatly accelerates our strategic growth and market penetration. We now have the solutions, resources and expertise to tackle modernization challenges at scale, and the continued flexibility, winning culture, proven partnerships and growth mindset necessary to help our customers win today and well into the future.”

“The combination of OpenText’s AMC business and Rocket Software’s highly complementary businesses will create one of the world’s largest mainframe modernization and connectivity software companies,” said Peter Rutten, Research Vice-President, Performance Intensive Computing, IDC. “While many in the industry would champion moving everything to the cloud, or never moving anything off the mainframe, this investment shows Rocket Software’s commitment to meeting clients wherever they are in their modernization journey. Now Rocket Software will have a comprehensive portfolio that allows clients to modernize their workloads in place, move applications to the cloud or a combination of both through a hybrid strategy, which we see most enterprises prefer.”

With the added talent and innovation acquired from AMC, the company has set a new bar for modernization innovation in a single partner that:

· Offers Leading Technology for Mainframe Modernization by building on its deep expertise and long-standing commitment to optimizing mainframe environments to facilitate seamless, secure and compliant solutions that meet the demands of the digital era
· Meets Customers Wherever They Are on Their Journeys with an unyielding grasp of the entire landscape and comprehensive range of software solutions for any stage of modernization
· Values and Builds on Past and Current Investments by recognizing there is a better approach to the ‘rip and replace’ playbook for modernization and instead helps customers leverage their existing foundation for a seamless technological evolution
· Delivers Solutions as a True Partner, Not Just a Vendor with a 93.7% customer satisfaction rate for enterprises that demand nothing short of excellence, and need a trusted partner

Rocket Software will integrate and continue to develop AMC products to enhance its portfolio, helping customers stay competitive and leverage their data, applications and infrastructure regardless of their modernization strategy. In addition to several complementary Host Connectivity, Application Development and CORBA solutions, Rocket Software will also offer COBOL and Enterprise Suite, market leading technologies that allow companies the ability to run COBOL and PL/I applications on distributed or cloud servers. These added capabilities expand the mainframe modernization approaches that Rocket Software can deliver, enabling choice and allowing customers to run workloads wherever it makes sense for their business. This breadth, and the ability to integrate the various approaches, allows customers to seamlessly connect any combination of solutions across the modernization continuum.

“Application modernization is key to digital transformation in financial services,” said Martin Wildberger, EVP, Innovation & Technology, RBC. “As a Rocket Software customer, we’ve experienced firsthand the company’s commitment to innovation.”

“Within our organization, the need for modernization is a dynamic process, continually evolving as we grow and scale our business.,” said José Fortemps, CTO, AG Insurance. “The OpenText AMC solutions have served us well and, now as part of Rocket Software, we look forward to exploring new opportunities for our data, application and infrastructure that propels us into the future.”
