This is my favorite painter Georges Pierre Seurat's Une Baignade, Asnières. I like this painting. When I first saw this painting, I was very depressed. So it seems gloomy the boy dipping his legs in the water. The name of painting is 'Dabbling in the water', though. But now I watch this painting, I focus more on its peaceful mood. The art work is accepted differently according to the person or situation. I think it is charm of art and it makes the art more rich:)

I visited Michuhall library again. And I got the artist introduction of whch I posted two weeks ago. But I couldn't get information of the objet of that art work;( However, I could find the art gallery! Sadly, there were no interesting art work but that oil paints of Seung-eun Yoo (on third image) The name of right one is 'Pine for Dante' Lately I read 'Inferno' so I looked it closely. Maybe it was described the night river view of Italy. It is difficult to understand like a literary work 'Inferno' And I got that Michuhall is 'Meet you all' It's kind of funny. That library is the most interesting library I've ever been:)

This video is the painting process of 'Faber Castel' The chinese painter Chan Hwee Hong painted controling the thickness of pen line. He recreated the famous painting 'Girl with a pearl earing' It is amazing that he seems just twirls his arm round shape but the girl was appeared in last. Watching this video, I think the expression method of art is infinite:)

'Casa, in un posto lontano da casa' which was painted by Italian painter Daniela Tieni. He taken picture at first, developed it and painted on that photo. His trial is regarded as art work, not girlish scribbling on polaroid. Because the photograph and what he draw was well harmonized as one. I also think this work is artistic. His sense is brilliant! Isn't it?

This video is the projection mapping using Hyundai's car 'Accent' as object. Projection mapping is a kind of media art. It is interesting that development of technology has influenced on the art. The origin of projection, shadow play was started at B.C.12000 And it was done by most of oriental culture such as Korean play 'Man suk joong play' and Turkish play 'Karagoz' Isn't it interesting that is being used to promote the products? I think the projection mapping well shows that Art is refection of the ages.

This is 'Collages' made by Kseniya Kazakova. The collage work has peculiar mood. It seems kind of mishmash, but it was made in calculations of the artist. And the collage work can express diverse texture and give perspective, so I think it is kind of 3D work. How about you? What is just cutted and pasted or the work that combine diverse things and makes new fresh thing.

 

This was painted by SAINER(Przemek Blejzyk), who is the Polish artist. These paintings are painted using acrylic paints. The color is delicate and dreamlike, so it made me evoke the image of Alice in the Wonderland when I read in childhood. Watching his or her(I couldn't find it;0) paintings, the part of human's body was all smudged. I don't know what it means exactly, but its like the game character when it is dying...And I think it means dimness of the presence because of the melancholy mood.

The compositon of photoes is interesting.  Mateusz Chmura is a Poland industry designer, art director and photographer. These photoes ware taken by fisheye lense. 

For life, sometimes we need to view things from a different angle, when we feel tired of living. It is kind of refreshing thing. For picture, it is also fresh, isn't it?

Ryan McGinley's photo exhibition is helding in Dae-lim art center, Seoul. I haven't known his name but his photoes. He is well known for the nude phothoes which espress youth of instance.

Maybe you have imagined messing up the empty school, haven't you? Paweł Fabjański in
SHOOTME photographers & production made it finally!
You can see more art work of them on http://shootme.pl/ And this facebook page of them: https://www.facebook.com/shootmephotographers
They seems like commercial photographer group and they do a lot of collaboration works with  brands like Absolut, British American Tobacco, Mastercard, Mercedes- Benz Poland and so on. All members of the group have multiple role and they are kind of Modern 'Salon' group. Cool!

The guy in this picture is Jean Michel Basquiar who was called 'Black Picasso' And he was known for the soulmate of Andy Warhol and lover of Madonna. He was kind of hot guy then maybe. He died young at an age of 27. When he started painting, he was a member of the graffiti group of the Manhattan streets 'SAMO' which means Same Old Shit. Gradually he could get fame of artist and after he met Warhol, his grafitti was achieved recognition as a art. Although he died young, his art work was revived in the Reebok shoes recently. He still looks hot and his paintings also.

This exhibit is displayed in the reading room at Michuhol library at Namdong-gu. It seems that the spoiled particles of very old book are in the sealed bag. I think it makes the reading room not only kind of culture space, but more clear identity.

This feature site-specific installations that shed light on the distinctive spatial aspects of the Seoul Branch of MMCA's interior and exterior spaces. This is made by Choe U-Ram (1970- ) 
In this project, Choe hung his Opertus Lunula Umbra (Hidden Shadow of the Moon), a massive animatronic creature whose height is five meters from the ceiling in front of Gallery 5, whose functionality can be characterized by its role as a sort of a hub by which the different buildings of the Seoul branch scattered like islands are connected and the visitors' movements are guided. A magnificent spectacle is created by the slow movements of tens of its huge symmetrical wings, which resemble the oars of a Viking ship. This work in the form of a colossal caterpillar emanating mysterious light is the latest version of the work of Choe for which viewers highly praised at the Liverpool Biennale in 2008 and in Pozna, Poland in 2009. This recent work of his of technical perfection and structural precision is introduced for the first time at the Seoul branch.

A new massive building complex has been completed in the heart of Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. An extraordinarily and delicately harmonious vibe fills the entirety of the precincts of National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea(hereinafter referred to as 'MMCA')'s branch in Seoul, as its buildings are entrancingly orchestrated in the way that the histories of disparate times and spaces chime in subtle symphony: The traditional Korean-style house of Jongchinbu, the office for royal family affairs during the Joseon dynasty; the red-brick building that was constructed in 1913 as the Capital Army Hospital under the Japanese rule and had housed the office of the Defense Security Command since the 1970s; a contemporary-style structure made of ivory terracotta and glass curtain walls. Located at the core of the contemporary-style structure, which is the Seoul branch's exhibition wing, Seoul Box functions as both a plaza where the flows of visitors converge and diverge and a special space allocated for the installation of large-scale contemporary artworks of experimentality and originality.
Hanjin Shipping The Box Project is an MMCA's ambitious project through which Seoul Box is accoutered with artists' ingenious and stimulating ideas. MMCA has selected Do Ho Suh (1962- ) as the protagonist for the Project's first chapter held in celebration of the historic opening of National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea's Seoul Branch.
This huge fabric installation of Suh entitled 'Home Within Home Within Home Within Home Within Home' is specially created to epitomize the vital spatial property of Seoul Box that can be undeniably characterized by its abundant natural light coming through its glass walls and the historical attribute of the Seoul branch's compound in which traditional, modern and contemporary buildings embrace each other. This work is comprised of a life-size (12 meters in height, 15 meters in width) replica of the three-story town house at Providence, Rhode Island, which was the artist's first residence where he lived as a student in the United States in 1991 and 'Seoul Home,' a reproduction of his family's traditional-style Korean house in Seoul, hanging in the middle of the former. As one can infer from the title, the work elucidates and conjures the ever-expanding concept of space: traditional Korean house within Western-style house; Western-style house with Seoul Box; Seoul Box within the Seoul branch; the Seoul branch within Seoul. 

In addition, this exhibition is free entry. I have been interested in Installation art but there have been no chance to experience. The exhibitions were so far to visit, like Gyeong-gi, Chung-nam. Now there is MMCA it's only a short hop, in Seoul! I'll visit MMCA right after final exam season:)

Lately, I visited the photo exhibition of Life magazine. There were so many storyful photoes but what's impressed me most was the photo of Robert frost. Whether I knew his poem 'The road not taken', the man blindfolded himself seemed to be aimless. Had he regretted that road he taken? 

We don't know precisely what the artist intended, but, as the photojournalist Ed clark said, we could get something being captured by the work of art.
