I did hear that Kim Chang-il is creating a little empire with galleries in Beijing and London as well as Seoul.

At least Mr. Lee's work is more interesting than the work of a certain Sejong Arts Center administrator who is currently under investigation for sexual harrasment. (for real) The word on the street is that the guy is even taking bribes, thus I suspect he may have to resign for "health reasons". That is not my kind of "performance art".

Anything that helps us to not have to face the reality of death is going to thrive. "I'm this, I'm that, I'm curious, I'm from here and you're from there...." etc “Perhaps this essay also explains the “socio-cultural context” that allows the most perverse explanations of reality and history to thrive in Korea?”

I am considering teaching English abroad and I believe they might be useful. When do the perception-distorting pants come out?

As westerners, we don't learn about much except (a) contemporary movies, and (b) KNTO-sanctioned traditional handicrafts. ...That photo is (deliberately?) freaky, though!
