Art for the Seoul

Playing with one's mind

Today I spent the day wandering around the streets of Seoul's very impressive arts districts, Insa-dong & Bukchon. It's amazing and the investment in the arts here is unimaginable. It helps to have the headquarters of Hyundai Motor company situated right amongst it and a CEO who's wife is a (very) big supporter of the arts.

I saw so much in one day and went to so many amazing galleries but I have decided to tell you about one thing only and that's this installation by artist Leandro Erlich called 'Port of Reflections'. It is the best example I have seen to date of an artists use of perspective to play on the human eye. 

Amazing... here's the link to his website. Check it out for yourself.

Day 1 in Seoul, Korea

An insight into Korean Tea Culture

When I was packing up to leave home for this trip to Korea my mind was going over the things I was hoping to come away with at the end. One of my key goals was that I was really hoping to expand my knowledge on 'Tea Culture' and also the actual making of teapots. So it was fairly fitting that I had stepped no more than 50m from my hotel in Seoul this morning when I spotted this poster advertising the Korean Tea Centre, currently hosting an exhibition of Korea's finest tea ware. The gallery was directly next door to my hotel and so I had to go in of course, and ended up drinking tea with the students who were curating the exhibition. It was great to hear their passion about the tea ware that they make and also their incredible respect for the masters who they had their works exhibited alongside. Here's a few snap shots of some of the works. Enjoy.
