Maurizio Cattelan's taxidermic horse which i saw yesterday at the New Museum as part of the After Nature exhibition is the photo pretext i'll use to tell readers and friends that this year, for the first time, i won't be at ars electronica. I asked my friend Jan to post a couple of stories about the festival if he ever feels like it but that should be something very light.
Instead, i'll be at Pictoplasma NYc, then in Korea for Media City Seoul which both have programmes i couldn't resist to. Then back again in New York for the Conflux festival. If any of you plans to be in Seoul next week please do come and say hi at Media City. And if you have any tip about places to check out, exhibitions to see and people to meet over there, i'd love you to share them with me, cuz it's going to be my first visit in South Korea and i'm already feeling a bit lost. Please send your suggestions via the comments on this post or by email. Thanks! Oh! and one last thing, After Nature is a show you should run to. There's the much talked about replica of the Unabomber cabin by Robert Kusmirowski, some sculptures made of skin by Paweł Althamer, photographies by Roger Ballen, Zoe Leonard's amazing Tree but i'd better let you watch the exhibition online. |

Leeum Art Gallery is a must visit. Probably the best art gallery in Korea.
Hi! I am trilled to know that you would be visiting Korea this week. I became a regular reader of your blog from two years ago. =) I am working at Art Center Nabi, the media art specialized center in Korea.If you have any interest in visit the center, feel free to let me know. Hope to see you at the show. =)
Hi, I'm going to see the biennale to Seoul (and Gwangju). If I could see and talk to you, it would be nice. I work at YCAM, Japan. I often go to Seoul to see interesting people and things.
First thoughts on horse were "cheap shot". What did you make of it?
