Art : Video-art : Baek Nam Jun

Gone Already, He is Baek Nam-jun. He is a pioneer in video-art's world.
He was born in 1932 June, 20th in Seoul, Korea. and died on January 29, 2006.
In his earlier days, he studied art history and music history in Tokyo University in Japan. During 1956 to 1958, he studied music history in Munich University in Western Germany. These learnings of his, and un-traditional way of thinking heavily effected creative composition and his art activities. For his famous work, "Dadaiksun", a media tower made by piling monitor one above another for 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
He opened the retrospective in Guggenheim museum in 2000.
Although he departed from life in Jan, 29th, 2006, his name was on the list of world's 100 artists.
Especially, his famous work is 'Dadaiksun'.
'Dadaiksun' is a media tower made by piling monitor one above another for 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
This work is composed with more than thousand TV moniters, decreasing gradually by one and one floor. 'Dadaiksun' named after the old saying with the same pronounsation which means 'The more, the better'.
However, the work(Dadaiksun) means not the many of objects but the limitless of the reception of TV.
It metaphorically gives the explanation of theory of composition of today's mass-commucication.

Fashion artist : Andre Kim.

He is a famous fashion designer in Korea. Andre Kim's real name is Kim Bong Nam.
When he was young, his family was very poor. So, he worked harder two times than others. So, no one criticize and speak ill of his achievement nowadays.
I respect him for patient ascpect and responsility to the end, to the best. He makes beautiful clothes well.
Also, he is famous for liking white chothes. He always wears a white suit. Because he has his own color and his own world. He has two special characters. He likes white make-up and his unique pronunciation (Korean pronounciation is a little bit strange.)
Two years ago, I operated shopping mall with my friend.
Then, We makes clothes that simple stuff like t-shirts. haha-
When I learned fashion art, I thought , I want to be fashion desiner.
But, I change my major...so..art become far off me....
Kim Joon of Boys Over Flowers fame. The model for the eccentric designer Andre Kim. Kim Joon was accompanied by Jang Nara. She's famous in China. She has starred in some Chinese dramas and released some music in the Chinese market. The clothing is the typical Andre Kim's trademark style and resembles the clothes. He is awesome concept. Kim Joon looked pretty cool and his face looks like a puppies. Jang Nara was also looked very beautiful. Andre Kim on the other hand looks the same as usual... very awkward.
I think the white outfit makes him look real pale. But especially in white he looks like a true prince. Not sure what to think of the other outfits, though.

Jang Nara's blue dress is huge. Their outfits look gorgeous, intricate and stylish. I've seen a lot of posts about Andre Kim's stuff. I can say they are phenomenal and unique! I love his designs (esp. the dresses). They're so extravagant and avant-garde.
