The Psycho-Cutie Shtick

Thank you, Korail!

Typical Train Station "greeting" (We answer the gesture) Remember: Everybody is happy now.

9-11...9-11...9-11

"Can't help it: In my ever-growing Korea image collection those 9-11s keep emerging. (and all that started with the Hyundai Department Store during the 5th anniversary)
Most noteworthy a wall paper featured at Seoul's Ssamzie Market, in an art/fashion show entitled WAKE UP ANDY WARHOL. This piece shows WTC jumpers as a decorative tile pattern, each tagged with an Andy Warhol siganture.
Remember how Stockhausen's got into big trouble? Andy Andy? This work suggests a contemporary Disaster Series. Smart-sarcastic Koreans think further.
But then ending up with nothing but provocative wallpaper.
Well, isn't THAT something?" narrow-minded New Yorker (myself included) would ask the rest of the world, full of expectations.
As we New Yorker will judgmentally point at some random phenomena, "Look, there , there and there" , things that accidentally recall our one and only micro-experience of war in this country the event is now already overshadowed by several new wars.
Happy New Ear.

Torsten does Orlan

Torsten stopped by and conducted his long announced surgical plasmo-Orlan-Stellarc shoot in the sacred green court yard of our university building.
Perfect location. A good reminder how sane we all have become as teachers in disciplined Korea! I am growing two extra ears.
