I have been keeping myself awake at night,
listening to the way my heart beats
trying to keep count
trying to understand the change in rhythm
thinking about my last 4 months in Korea
changing the landscape
changing continents
working on a zoo
speaking spanish
passion
glaciers
the patagonia
trying to contain all the wonder
and trying to understand the way my heart beats
then for a second
i think
what if it stops
what if i don’t make it to argentina
all this preparation
all this time
what if the building in which i sleep catches on fire
and the descending life line doesn’t work
what if i try to jump to the roof top beneath me
what if i miss
what if
what if the way my heart beats
is weak
and
i
lie
listening
listening
listening
quickly
my thoughts turn around
but for weeks
i lie
in
bed
listening
to
the way
my heart beats

With sunny temperatures and snacks packed, we headed to Seoul for the 51 + music festival. Last year was entertaining, and this year the location was on the edge of a park at a liberal arts college. Maundrie Fox played, along with Yamagata Tweakster {acoustic set}, Trampauline, and some new bands to my ears. Taking over what appeared to be the theater arts building, different bands played on each floor, including the roof top! A small flea market was held outside along with kimbap, beer, and lemonade for sale. Most of the people who attended were Korean college students. The festival covered all genres of music, and the day was definitely a success by any listeners’ standard.

Tadashi Kawamata was born in 1953 in Hokkaido, Japan. He lives and works in Paris and Tokyo.
According to the ArchDaily, Tadashi Kawamata, a Japanese sculptor and installer, is known for creating urban spaces that utilize simple materials. Often times, Kawamata selects an single item, whether it is a material or an object, that becomes the basic module of a huge construction.
“The artist modifies the space on which it operates, creating outgrowths as pods nestled in height, suspended walkways, observation posts, which disturb the established order and challenge our view of our environment.”
I stumbled upon Gallery 604 on my bicycle one day during my lunch break. The gallery is hidden between Nampo-dong and Busan Station. Down an alley across from an instant coffee cart, unknown to even the walking pedestrians. I walked inside and was able to explore the exhibition alone and in the eerie quiet of the empty gallery. Until I did some research, Tadashi Kawamata wasn’t a familiar name, but now I remember the work he did for the Venice Biennal and other world renown creations.

O sweet spontaneous
earth how often have
the
doting
fingers of
prurient philosophers pinched
and
poked
thee
,has the naughty thumb
of science prodded
thy
beauty how
often have religions taken
thee upon their scraggy knees
squeezing and
buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive
gods
(but
true
to the incomparable
couch of death thy
rhythmic
lover
thou answerest
them only with
spring)
e.e. cummings (1894 – 1962)
P.s.
My first image {hello spring} was my creation from using the tutorial by Kat of Zero the One. I also used a bamboo pen for the handwriting. I love finding tutorials that spruce up my blog posts. One of my favorite places to visit for that and general exploring is Poppytalk!

a. favorite art material- Kodak TMAX P3200 B&W film.
b. places of inspiration- The Cinema – Food Markets – Walking without agenda – without destination, anywhere – In conversation with others.
c. favorite website- I’m quite stimulated by the concept of http://pinepoint.nfb.ca, in that, this exhibit is solely online, interesting how it contributes to the exhibition.
d. what provokes you to create art? Love
The movement of Moore’s work causes a well-formed chaos in your very being. Whether it is portrait or landscape you are displaced into an enchanting world. Like the previous featured artist, David Moore is true to photography working with black and white film. Known to lug around several cameras, this is how I first met David. He was on his way to Mongolia and had filled a camera bag to the brim with supplies. We met in 부산 한국, and when he returned his energy was an inspiration to me. Take a look at the series Tide Now, and let yourself dwell in the space he created for you.

The place I enjoy the most in Korea is the office supply/stationary store. I have always had a love for office supplies. In America the stores are more like warehouses and don’t offer unique products like cat paw page bookmarks. But you can’t blame em, there isn’t the same “need”. While living overseas I have been diligently writing letters to my loved ones. Now that I have started graduate school I am also finding reasons to go to the stationary store. You might be blown away by the variety of goods!
(this is what I walked away with )
