AB - This research aims to analyse the styles of exhibit halls at the Joseon Exposition in 1929 by the codes of “empire vs colony” and “the capital vs the provinces.” The Joseon Exhibition, held in the middle of colonial period, was characterized by adopting a “Joseon color,” which, in effect, reflected localized colonial governance. The Joseon color stood out especially with traditional Korean features of architecture that adorned the Government-General’s own exhibit hall. Also, the exhibits were displayed along with easily understandable explanations to colonists. On the other hand, special halls of varied local groups or other organizations were built in largely three styles: universal and modern, of strong local color, and of exoticism with no specific origin. In most cases, local communities with abundance in produces and character preferred modernity, while those with less prosperity stressed local color in styles of their exhibition halls. The rest adopted more unidentifiable exotic styles.
These juxtapositions of conflicted codes shown at the Joseon Expo reflected the multifaceted status of colonial Joseon within the boundaries of the Japan Empire as well as the unstable status of the colonial capital Gyeongseong in the hierarchy of Japanese imperial cities.
