It is the rainy season here in Korea and the downpours have kept me inside more than I like. I have collected plenty of rainwater for my horticultural work and an now in the planning process for a few mobile hydroponic gardens. Here is what the studio looks like. (16.52m²-23.14m²)
Yesterday, I did get the chance to venture out a bit with another artist, Gisoo KIM, a Korean expat who now lives in Germany. Gisoo assisted me in exchanging dollars for won at a local bank which turned out to be a huge process. At the airport I had decided service rates were too high however, being only 2 days in Korea was not enough time for my passport to be listed online for the bank. Thought I was out of luck for groceries, fortunately Gisoo was able to smooth things out and now my pockets are full of won. On the way back from the bank we walked through a meat market...all I can say is WOW! Very soon it was raining again so we made our way back to the art space. A woman felt sorry for the soggy foreigner and she gave us an umbrella. She would not be refused...I now have two umbrellas.
