Work in Seoul went well, Seuol is a great city and Koreans kind and friendly, a great people.
With me came my Korean friend and collaborator, Christine Hong, she lives in Turin and she teaches art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Turin. Cristina has been a great help as an interpreter and thanks to the fact that his parents and brother Leo (artist photographer) living in Seoul, Korea does not have visited by tourists. They came to work with me my partner Roberto Fioccardi for mounting the exhibition and dismantling my dear friend of Sidney Michael Schiavello.
During my first visit to Seou I met , a ceramist, Toyoung Kwak, I visited his gallery and with her we made a car trip to meet The Major Intangible Cultural Properties , the potter Mr. Kim Jong-Ok.
And now, photos, photos and photos for my friends around the World
E adesso foto, foto e foto per i miei amici in giro per il Mondo

Good to see you back!
RispondiEliminaGrazie, Kitty
RispondiEliminaWelcome home, Roberto. It looks like a wonderful journey to Korea. And thanks for the photos of the galleries and studio. And especially for the food. I love the chile pepper plants and the drying fish.
RispondiEliminaCiao Hollis, these trips to Korea has opened to me the doors of paradise and was full of hot pepper or maybe it was a pleasant spicy hell.
RispondiEliminaI missed you, looks like a great trip. those chili plants are lovely, I see they are using black plastic to absorb the heat of the sun. I especially like the stack of plates with the muted surfaces by Jong-Ok. Is that fly fishing in the river? It must have been hard for you to be away from home for so long a time, relax and rest up.
RispondiEliminaThanks Linda, is a pleasure your visit. It was a long trip very enjoyable and interesting, I made contact with the potters in Seoul and I hope to return to Korea for a ceramics workshop next summer.
RispondiEliminaIs dry fly fishing with a strange racket with no more than 15 m. of wire, there are little salmonid in the river, very good kitchen with soy sauce and sugar in sweet and sour. The chilli is the base of the entire Korean cuisine and I love it.
Soon I will put in my blog more photos of Korean ceramics. Ciao
I hope you are ok, it has been a long time since you posted.
RispondiEliminaGreat photos. Makes me want to go there. I love spicy food.
