its a french holiday for me this year. first, there was the film and then today at the seoul museum of art, the robert combas exhibit had the titles in korean and french only. hmmm. is it a sign? so as you can gather my day was spent garting [going arting]. princess and i started out at the robert combas:savoir-faire exhibit. i was unfamiliar with his work so it was nice to experience something new. his work was quite colorful and very detailed. you really had to look at some of them to see all the things within the paintings. it was good. from the seoul museum of art we head over to the rodin gallery to check out what was there. they had an exhibit by michael joo, yet another unfamiliar artist. the poster for the exhibit intrigued us enough to go check it out.
once again we struck gold. the work was really quite good. he even had videos which i usually bypass but found them quite interesting. except when the wolf was munching down on the remains of the caribou. the bonus was the caribou cameras. way cool. of course i bought an exhibition book before leaving.
from rodin we hopped onto the subway to head off to ewa women's university area to do some shopping. the garting part of our day was over. i tried on several coats. one i really liked but it was too small. grrrr. one shop lady tried to convince me that the tight sweater i had tried on fit perfectly. sorry, not falling for it. i did purchase a new anime figure to join my collection though.
we ended our outing at a cafe. one that took forever to find. i think i walked past it 8 times before i called bc to get directions. this is the place that has loads of art books to read and sketch books on the table to make your own art. princess had a coffee. i had a cocktail. we both made art, of sorts.
