Biennale Venice: Lee Yong-Beak, The Korean Pavillion







Lee Yong-Beak
a fantastic performance in the "mirrows-bullets-room"
and I loved the "hiddend flower fields":
watch it for yourself, watch closely....

Artist Lee Yong-Baek has been chosen to hold a solo
presentation in the Korean Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale
Lee is best known for his single-video channel installation works but actually presents a wider range of works including sculptures, kinetic arts, paintings and performances.
 His pieces cover themes such as religion, politics and philosophy.
The kaleidoscopic artist earned a B.A. degree from Hongik University
and a M.A. degree from The Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design in Germany, both for western paintings.The Venice exhibition will also introduce many genres of his works like videos, paintings, sculptures and installations. Very pungent !
Venice Art Biennale is arguably the world’s biggest art festival. The Korean Pavilion was established in 1995 and a commissioner, who selects an artist or a group of artists to present in the pavilion, is designated every year by Arts Council Korea.

Signè Chanel


KARL LAGERFELD
is Signè Chanel !








On a late monday night I get a SMS from my dear friend AA,
one of my Fashion Connoisseur friend.
it was an alert to tune on Canale RAI 5 for a special treat...

Shortly after  I got totally mesmorized by this 5 parts movie by Loïc Prigent.
 Signe Chanel was a  Sundance series but thanks to the internet and DVD releases the film lives on.
The segments; "Anticipation," "Doubts," "Rituals," "Sleepless Nights," and "The Collection" make up Signe Chanel . They take the viewer into the elaborate world of Chanel Haute Couture following the fall 2004 collection from initial concepts and drawings to the creation of the intricate garments and the runway show.  Chanel's veteran seamstress are priceless. Karl is perfection. You will be glued to the video.

find it on-line via amazon uk.com
