Awesome London! (3) (Tate Modern, Saatchi Gallery)

Tate Modern 에서 가장 맘에 들었던 Robert Therriend의 작품.
보는 순간 보는이를 거인의 세계에 빠뜨리는 작가의 유쾌함을 사랑한다.
I liked Robert Therriend's work the most at the Tate Modern.
It made the viewers feel like they had entered Giant Land.
I really love the artist's sense of humor!

모두 모형이지만 실제같았던 작품.

실제여서 Impact있었던것 보다는 Wheelchair를 타고 사방이 벽으로
막힌곳에서 나갈수 없는 그들의 고독함을 보았기에 좋았던 작품.
Although they're all casts, they really looked real. But what's more
impacting than the realistic sculptures was the loneliness and isolation
of seniors expressed through the moving wheelchairs that couldn't
escape the blocked off room.

Guerra de la Paz : Nine

Korean Eye Moon Generation.

LA County Museum의 Your Bright future 전시에 이은 좋은 전시.
After LACMA's "Your Bright Future" exhibition, this was
another great Korean exhibition.
런던에서 6월 20일 부터 7월 5일까지 예정되있던 전시가
런던관람객들의 좋은 반응으로 10월 1일 까지 연장된것은
한국의 예술이 성장하고 있음을 느끼게 한다.
The "Moon Generation" exhibition was originally scheduled
from June 20 to July 5th, but because of the enthusiastic
response from viewers, it was extended until October 1st.
It made me feel like Korean art was thriving. :)

Awesome London! (2)

Sept.12~13. 2009 Thames River.

런던에서 만난 한국.
Scoop of Korea라는 타이틀 아래 한국 전통음식을 시연하고 있었는데
조금은 진행이 느렸고 재밌지 못한 점이 아쉬웠다.

Free Wine Tasting!!!

La Roue de la Mort:
La Trilogie du Temps 놀라운 Circus!!
다람쥐가 굴리는 쳇바퀴같은 모양을 한 장치는
아슬아슬한 곡예를 연출하며
손에 땀을 쥐는 퍼포먼스를 만들어냈다.
위험을 무릅쓴 퍼포먼스에 아낌없는 박수를 보냈다.

Night Canival!!
Notting Hill Canival에 이어 두번째 Canival인
Thames Festival의 백미.
낮에 하는 Canival은 접해봤지만
밤에 하는 Canival은 처음이었는데
조명과 밤의 운치 그리고 열정적인 참가자들의
퍼포먼스는 최고의 Canival을 만들어냈다.

Bravo!! Night Canival !!

Special Thanks To: London Couchsurfers!

Here are some pictures of the Couchsurfers and friends
who hosted us during our 1 month stay in London. We are
so grateful and had a more wonderful London experience
because of them! Thank you all!
Estonia 출신인 Mart.
항상 편하게 있을수 있도록 배려해주고 Couchsurfer를 구하지
못했을때 다시한번 호스트해주었던 참 착했던 Mart.
This is Mart from Estonia. He always helped us to feel
comfortable during our stay, and when we couldn't find
a Couchsurfer to host us, he hosted us again!

요가를 사랑하는 John과 함께한 저녁식사.
Having dinner with John, the lover of yoga!

내가 고양이를 이렇게 좋아하는지
Kittan을 만나기전까지는 몰랐었다.
주체할수 없는 호기심을 가진 너무나 사랑스러운 Kittan.
비록 우릴 호스트해준 Vicky와 Tando의 사진을 못올리지만
Kittan의 사진으로 그 고마움을 대신한다.
I didn't know I liked cats so much until I met Kittan.
Kittan has an overabundance of curiosity, this lovable cat!
Although we don't have photos of our hosts Vicky and Tando,
we want to show our gratitude through our pictures of Kittan!

런던에서 우연히 만난 Annie의 뉴욕친구들.
Tate Modern Museum앞에서 함께한 시간과 직접 집까지 초대해주어
만들어준 순두부 찌게는 정말 잊지 못할거에요.
Phil, Jason, Jini, Elizabeth, Jeannie와 함께 좋은 시간.
These are Annie's friends that we randomly met in London!
We won't forgot the awesome time we shared in front of the
Tate Modern Museum, and for the wonderful Korean dinner
(soondubu jjigae!) they made for us at their place.
Thanks for the great time:
Phil, Jason, Jini, Elizabeth and Jeannie!

너무나 멋진 호주미남 James.
더군다나 그의 놀라운 그림들.
곧 그의 이름이 새겨진 작품들이 세상사람들을 행복하게
할것임을 믿어 의심치 않는다.
Our great and handsome Australian host James! ;)
You have amazing drawings in your sketchbooks!
I don't doubt that your artwork will become known
internationally and give people happiness. :)

대학동기인 윤석이 덕분에 Thames River가 한눈에 내려다보이는
곳에서 너무나도 편안히 지낼수 있었음을 감사히 여기며.
Thanks to my college friend Yoonsuk, we were able to
stay so comfortably at his place, with its beautiful view of
the Thames River!

Thanks again!

Sept. 06.2009. On the Tower Bridge.

Awesome London! (Aug. 23-Sept. 16)

Camden Town Market에서 발견한 사랑스러운 말.
There are horse statues galore at Camden Lock Market, where
stalls sell everything from vintage/punk/alternative clothing,
food, antiques, souvenirs, etc., to name a few.
Camden Market에서.

On the streets of Brick Lane Market there's clothing
and food vendors galore every Sunday! This was one of
our favorite markets. :) Booths sell clothing, shoes, jewelry,
bags, and international foods that make your mouth water
just at the sight! Outside of the main building and along
Brick Lane people come out early in the morning and
open up their suitcases to sell their used/vintage clothing.

Yayoi Kusama's Artwork.

Hayward Gallery
"Walking in my mind." 22 June~6 Sept.2009

Kusama professed seeing halllucinations as a child
that were filled with the same repetitive theme: polkadots.
As a cathartic release from her often suicidal and
obsessive thoughts as a child, she began making drawings
of these polkadots that would serve as a catalyst for her
now signature motif.

길거리로 직접 나선 Magritte의 작품.
A Magritte painting seemingly come to life!
This street performer was at the entrance to the
Millennium Bridge linking St. Paul's Cathedral and
Tate Modern across the Thames River.

23 August 2009 - Piccadilly Circus

A panoramic view of Piccadilly Circus. :)
(Picture from EarthDocumentary)

Hello from Piccadilly Circus, a road junction connecting Regent St.,
Piccadilly, Covent, and Shaftsbury Ave. in a circular path
(hence "circus" = circle). I performed today at the Shaftsbury Memorial
Fountain with the Statue of Anteros which sits at the very center
of the Circus. This place is always bustling with vehicles and
tourists, and it reminds me a little of Times Square in NYC. :)

Aug. 22, 2009 - Trafalgar Square + National Gallery - First Performance in London!

5th Statement

믿는데로 이루어 진다.

Things come true as you believe in them.

Las cosas se vuelven realidad mientras

creas en ellas.

On peut tout réaliser si on y croit.

Le cose si realizzano quando credi in esse.

Die Dinge werden wahr, wenn Du an sie glaubst.

すべては信じるとおりになる。

凡是相信，必能实现。

난 참 익숙한것만을 좋아하는 사람이었나보다.

정들었던 뉴욕을 떠나 새로운 땅 런던에서

프로젝트를 다시 시작하는것은 다시 내 안의 두려움을 깨고

나가는 또 다른 도전이라 그런지 두려웠다.

월드멜로디 프로젝트의 5번째 Statement인

"믿는데로 이루어진다"는 내가 평소 믿고 따르는 말이다.

믿음이란 보이는 것들의 반대라 하는데 나를 비롯한 많은 사람들이 얼마나 보이는것만을

쫓고 따르는가 생각해본다.

이번 Statement는 지난날 어린시절 모든 것을 가능하게 했던 비밀인 순수한 믿음의 힘을 스스로 새로이 깨닫고 프로젝트로 만나는 많은 사람들을 일깨우고 싶은 소망이 담겨있다.

Hello London! Aug. 12-15 (Part I)

LONDON, United Kingdom

London welcomed Worldmelody Project on Wednesday with
a day of cloudy skies and light rain, but the anticipation of a new
country, new friends, and a new phase in Worldmelody Project
kept the jitters and adrenaline rushing throughout our first
day's experience of London architecture, the Tube, fish & chips,

and Gareth, our first couchsurfer. As we stake out new
locations for Worldmelody Project we are excited to be in a
new place and await the new people we will meet and the
new experiences we will gain!

Aiden's first experience on the Tube! : )
Our first destination on the tube: Wood Green.

Near Gareth's place in Wood Green. He's our first Couchsurfer,
graciously hosting us for our first few days in London! : )
For all you travelers, please check out couchsurfing.org it's
a wonderful site for people hosting travelers and those needing
a place to crash while abroad!

First sightseeing stop near Leicester Square. Love the cultural
brick buildings.

To be continued...!

Worldmelody Project Donations.

Worldmelody Project 를 통해 2달 동안 뉴욕에서 받은 도네이션의
총 금액 $478.88.
The total donations Worldmelody Project received for the two
months in NYC was $478.88.
도네이션으로 이 프로젝트를 가능케 한 그 한사람 한사람의 따뜻한
마음은 다음 목적지인 런던으로 전해질 것입니다.
The warmth we received from each person who donated and
helped make this project a reality will spread on to our next
location, London.
어렵고 힘들수는 있지만 불가능은 없음을 알려준 NewYork을
뒤로 하며..
We know it won't be an easy trip, but because of our good
memories in New York, we know that nothing is impossible!

Looking forward to London! : )
