Details, where god is… I don’t recall this being in all Seoul taxis, but one driver had a little LCD display on his in-dash meter that displayed a graphic of a still and running horse, whose gait changed relative to the taxi’s speed. The above video is badly shot and slightly poor in quality, [...] They’re officially everywhere. Not that it came as a surprise, but it was kind of a familiar and homey to discover a hipster scene in Seoul. Not that there were fixes piled outside or anyone wearing a keffiah, but there was, as the photo above indicates, beer in cans, a sure sign of [...] So you drive into a parking lot at World Cup Park in Seoul and see the above sign. You’re an American, you have no idea what it means. How exactly is Seoul Women friendly? Nothing here seems unfriendly to anyone (except for traffic, which is like some kind of mob action Thunderdome). [...] 12 hours of taxis, group meetings, meet and greets, studio tours in Korea will leave you carrying 20+ pounds of paperwork. Really, though this post is about one of the many, major differences between art in Korea and the US. Every show, no matter how small, usually has a small catalog or brochure [...] That is one hot ramen, and I’m not just talking about the broth. Basically boiling broth with even hotter oil added, so violently was it bubbling that I thought that some amazing monster was going to rise from it. Served with daikon kimchee and takuan-stlye pickles called danmuji, which are also made from [...] One of the reasons I’m currently in Korea is that I can take advantage of the excellent guidance as Sojung Kwon, seen at right in the above stitched panorama (see giant size here)of her installation Planning a Year: Mondays at Gallery Dam. In March of 2010, Sojung will be exhibiting the whole of [...] Yesterday I ate at the most fabulous dumpling shop. It’s right near Gallery Dam, in Bukchon. You place your order for meat, vegetable or seafood dumplings, everything else is self service and the Chinese family that runs the place shouts at each other vigorously in the background, which I always consider to be [...] So busy yesterday, and so tired. So a tiny teacup of a post, while I listen to the rain outside in the darkness. Yesterday I spent part of my day at Gallery Dam where So Jung has her solo show at the moment, meeting folks and watching Sojung get filmed by a Finnish [...] The above was supposed to be Thai Sliced Beef with Coconut Curry, but was terribly chewy pot roast instead. With nuked frozen veggies. I think the idea with this meal was to make you really, really glad that you were going to Asia where there’s more good food than you can ever imagine. [...] I’m in Seoul as of about 10pm local time last night, after one of the lousiest flights in memory, and I’m one of those people who loves flying on airplanes. But I’m here, in room 3F at Yena House, a small, efficient little place in Insadong, which is home to literally scores and [...] |
