Having traveled East I might as well stop by Korea. South Korea, that is, of course. Wouldn’t want to interfere with the next nuclear test ride further to the North….

Never been to Seoul. But this exhibit seems worth it – called Gathering Clouds.

You have seen Kapoor’s work – cloud gate –  in Chicago, at the Tate Modern, or, if you’re lucky, last year in Versaille. An enormous installation by all reports, I wasn’t there, alas.

I have sometimes thought that one kind of reflectiveness of his work – the actual interaction with light – often overshadows (pun intended) the other kind of reflectiveness, the subtleness contained in his sculptures.

 

My own take on silver(lining) and clouds has as one ingredient the meat grinder and other machines used for the production of the Olympia Provisions delicacies. They commissioned me some time back to photograph their facilities for food production and those montages can be seen at their Northwest Thurman St. restaurant. Now I am combining them with landscapes.
