[요즘 청소년들은 이렇답니다] Exhibition focuses on Korean teens

Puberty is one of the times we hate the most while experiencing it but miss the most once it is gone.

Ilmin Museum of Art gathered some photographers to record the precious moments of today's Korean adolescents and published a book titled "The Image of Youth."

"We consider that all juvenile delinquency is the result of and also the root of all adult problems. The book holds more than 700 photos which attempt to visualize the lives of today's youth," said exhibition curator Kim Ryang-mi.

There are nine Korean photographers who participated in the making of the 600-page book. They are Kang Jae-gu, Ko Jung-nam, Kwon Woo-yol, Park Jin-young, Yang Jae-kwang, Oh Suk-kuhn, Lee Ji-yeon, Choi Eun-sik and Choi Jong-gyu.

Each photographer focused on different characteristics of Korean teenagers.

Visitors can also check out some of the photos at the museum. The museum is currently displaying selected works at the exhibition under the same title as the book.

Among the photographers exhibited, Lee Ji-yeon shows the vivid and intimate moments of teenagers. Currently a high school teacher, she was able to capture her students dozing off in the classrooms lying down on the instant beds they made by pulling some chairs together, as well as the nervous looks on her students' faces on their graduation day.

Park Jin-young placed his attention on teenagers' fandom culture. Young girls doing costume play look like they popped out of a manga. In another photo, thousands of teenagers crowd together at a concert to see their favorite star.

Kang Jae-gu did not miss the trivial things in teenagers' lives which are easily neglected as too common, like school uniform shops, scribbles on the school walls and boys on motorbikes headed for their English institutes.

Kang knew that those familiar scenes would quickly excite the now teenagers' nostalgia just as middle-aged adults treasure the memories of their schooldays in the 1970s.

"This book will be an archive for teenagers of today. It might be considered a boring job but it is essential," said Kang.

The exhibition runs through Aug. 23 at the Ilmin Museum of Art in Sejongro, central Seoul. For more information visit www.ilmin.org or call (02) 2020-2055.

말 타보고 왔어요♥ [승마 취재 후기]

경기도 파주에 있는 유일레저타운에 가서 승마체험을 하고 왔습니다.

요즘 승마운동효과도 증명됐다고 하고,

정부에서 좀 정책적으로 추진하려는 것 같기도 하고 해서 말이죠. ㅎㅎ

 

이 승마장은 꽃보다 남자에도 나왔던 그곳ㅋㄷ

 

뭔가 멋지게 어울리는 옷도 입고 말도 씽씽 타고 싶었으나,

말이라고는 제주도 등등에서 한 10분 체험 해본 적 밖에 없는 저에겐 무리였습니다ㅠ

 

게다가 제 발 사이즈도 워낙 귀한 사이즈라-_- 맞는 승마부츠도 없더라구요.

그래서 뭐 신기한 말 가죽으로 된 걸로 종아리를 감싸고 탔습니다 ㅋ

 

 

완전 초보지만, 한 20분 강의 들으니까 그래도 혼자서 방향조절도 하면서 교관님 도움없이 좀 갈 수 있더라구요.

저는 터벅터벅 걷는 수준이었는데도 다음 날 아침에 허벅지가 당겨서 일어났다는 +_+

 

 

같이 간 우리 인턴기자는 말을 1년동안 타본 실력자라서;

나름 씽씽 잘달렸습니다. ㅋㅋ

뭔가 의상도 저보다는 프로페셔널해 보이죠?!ㅋㅋ

 

저 뒤에 쪼꼬맣게 교관님 옆에서 겁먹고 있는 제가 보이네요 히히

 

승마가 다이어트 효과는 최고라는 +_+

뱃살도 빠지고, 하체도 예뻐진다나요;

물론 너무 비싸다는 흠이 있지만 ㅠ-ㅠ

꼭 한 번 제대로 해보고 싶은 스포츠였어요 ㅋ

 

자세한 내용은 앞으로 나올 기사 참조!ㅋㄷ

 

 

며칠 째 머리가 너무 아파요 ㅠ-ㅠ

머리가 엄청 무겁고 커다란 느낌.

고개를 돌리면 뇌는 한 박자 더 천천히 따라 돌아오고, 디이이잉 하면서 -_-

흔들면 뇌가 흔들리는 듯한 기분;;ㅋ

 

아는 언니한테 얘기했더니 자기도 3일 연속 머리아파서 아스피린 먹었대요.

또 자기 친구도 3일연속 두통을 호소하고 있다는!

결국...요즘은 두통이 유행이라는 이상한 결론에 도달 ㅋㅋㅋ

 

싱가폴 다녀와서도 플루 한 번 안걸리고,

A형 간염 주사를 빵!빵! 두 대나 맞고서도 미열도 안났었는데,

엊그저께 마신 와인 두잔에 아직도 머리가 아프다니ㅠ-ㅠ

 

모두모두 두통조심하세요♥

[페리에주에를 보면 생각나는 것?] Champagne inspired art

In step with its launch in Korea, the two-centuries old champagne house Perrier-Jouet is hosting an original exhibition featuring works by top Korean artists of diverse fields.

At the exhibition "Perpetual Emotions by Perrier-Jouet," 15 artists showcase their champagne-inspired works.

Participating artists are hanbok designer Lee Young-hee, fashion designer Juun.J, shoe designer Lee Bo-hyun, jewelry designer Kim Sung-hee, makeup artist Lee Kyung-min, photographer Kim Yong-ho, installation artist Kim Chi-ho, fabric artist Kan Ho-seob, lightning designer Park Jin-woo, florist Kim Jong-wook, painter Lee Eun-joo, book designer Jung Eun-kyung, media artist Seo Hyo-jung, visual artist Pak Ji-sook and pianist Seo Hye-gyung.

Many of the artists used anemone, the champagne brand's symbol, in their works. Lee Young-hee embroidered the flower on hanbok and Lee Bo-hyun attached the flowers made of Swarovsky and satin on high heels.

Seeing champagne as synonymous with weddings, Jung Eun-kyung made a book decorated with anemones on folding screens, which are typically used in Korean traditional weddings.

The exhibition runs through June 30 at the Kring Gallery in Daechi-dong, southern Seoul. Admission is free. For more information, call (02) 557-8898.

[우리가 무슨 짓을 했는지 똑똑히 보여주는 사진들]Clear pictures of damage we have done

Have you heard about Tuvalu, the beautiful coral island nation in the Pacific Ocean?

Although it is one of the few countries not contributing to climate change, it is the one bearing the brunt. Its sea levels are continuously rising and the sea is expected to engulf the whole island within several years, leaving its 10,000 residents homeless.

They may not all be as seriously as in Tuvalu, but some serious symptoms of climate change may be spotted throughout the world.

To alert the public to the situation, the British Embassy, the Korean Cultural Centre U.K. and Daelim Contemporary Art are co-hosting the photo exhibition "Earth Alert: A Photographic Response to Climate Change."

"This exhibition couldn't be more timely. The year 2009 is pivotal for climate change. While we look at the challenge and complexity of financial events, we must also keep focused on the aim of a broad and inclusive agreement on climate change in Copenhagen in December 2009," British Ambassador Martin Uden told the press last week.

"It is essential that we come to an ambitious agreement there to prevent dangerous climate change by agreeing to national reductions in our emissions."

About 100 photos taken by 13 British and Korean photographers, including Chris De Bode and Joo Myung-duck, are on display at the exhibition.

Each photographer captured the impact of the world's climate change through their own perspective.

Among the photographers, Gerd Ludwig focuses on the damage caused to the Salton Sea in California. The British photographer captured the dreadful sight of nearly 8 million fish killed on a single hot day in August 1999. This massive fish death was due to the nutrients from agricultural runoffs that depleted the sea's oxygen.

As a veteran who has been photographing environmental issues for almost two decades, Ludwig skillfully reminds the viewers of the mankind's ability to threat its own living planet.

Robin Hammond, another British-based photographer, draws attention to the devastated inhabitants of Tuvalu.

Having no choice, some Tuvaluans are getting ready to abandon their homes and relocate to New Zealand. Hammond's capturing of children's grim faces will make viewers feel guilty.

Korean photographers Lee Sang-youp and Choi Young-jin showcase some scenes which Koreans may easily connected with.

Lee has documented the yellow dust sandstorms which affect much of East Asia during spring time. China's intensified desertification and the increase in coal powered industrial production is believed to be making the storms longer and more harmful.

The sight of the thick yellow sky above the Mao Zedong sculpture and Chinese five-star-red flag in Kashgar, China is enough to give the viewers a stuffy feeling.

Choi shows the slow destruction of the Saemangeum, an estuarine tidal flat on the coast of the Yellow Sea in Korea. A bird lies dead in his photo. Numerous plants, fish and birds are known to have perished there, not being able to adjust to the changed environment.

The exhibition runs through Aug. 23 at Daelim Contemporary Art Museum in Tongi-dong, central Seoul. The museum is closed on Mondays. Tickets are 4,000 won for adults and 2,000 won for youth. For more information, call (02) 727-0667 or visit www.daelimmuseum.org
