Day 34 - Day 35 ( Busan Museum Of Modern Art )
Hi guys! sorry for disappearing for the past two days. Basically nothing happen on Day 34 ( i.e. 23rd Sep ),.. just sending a parcel home, studying and having lesson as usual.. But more things happen on today! Before i begin, i would like to inform readers like you that in this entry, there are some arts that may appear pornographic and disturbing to you. I would advise you not to read this entry. There may also be some disturbing content displayed by the Art museum.
First of all, let me start of with the morning class i had! Finally i took up the courage to take a few pictures in the class ( because professors don't like their pictures taken ). So i secretly took out my camara and sneak a few shots!
If you enlarge this picture, u can see the words that appear on the projector.. Teaching in English and with a few korean words!
After class, i went to library and search for a book called "A primer of conservation biology by Richard Primack" English version~
Familiar books!
Went to the top of the library to take a breathe of the cooling air..
continue searching!
Developmental Biology in Korean language!! i'm amazed.. 
Finally, after the help of 2 kind librarian, i've found the book i wanted!! "A Primer Of Conservation Biology" by Richard Primack!!
SIAN.. but it is in Korean language..Anyway today is really a tiring day, but a fulfilling one! Hope i'll take enough rest and not fall sick... :)

After the lunch, we took bus 1001 to the Busan Museum Of Modern Art~
Haha!! And i manage to chance upon BEXCO!! It's like an exhibition hall in Korea ba.. Something like EXPO in Singapore!
Lots of this kind of flower around.. haha.. 
Finally we've reached the place! This is the Busan Museum Of Modern Art!!
Some public display:
Meanwhile, we manage to see a shooting taking place!!
This is the entrance of the Busan Museum Of Modern Art:
A guide map given! The 2008 Busan Biennale unfolds at the Busan Museum of Modern Art, Gwangalli Beach, and APEC Naru Park between September 6th to November 15th under the theme of "Expenditure." Made up of the Contemporary Art Exhibition, the Sea Art Festival, and the Busan Sculpture Project, the 2008 Busan Biennale will exhibit a distinctive philosophy of "expenditure" and a vivid scene of contemporary art through a variety of artworks including paintings, photographs, videos, installations, outdoor sculptures, etc.
The theme of the 2008 Busan Biennale, "Expenditure," was borrowed from Georges Bataille's discussion. Since it means consumption, release, and exhaustion, and extends into extravagance and reckless expenditure, "expenditure" is a concept contrary to goal-oriented, power-oriented, and phallic economic concepts, such as production, moderation, accumulation, acquisition, regime, control, etc. Though it has political and economic implications, it also has a great deal of implications for the perspectives of aesthetics and cultural criticism. Bataille pointed out that all studies had pursued to understand a society or a culture through the lens of production and accumulation and this had been an attempt to look at the whole from a part of a society or a culture, leading to a half-baked interpretation. According to Bataille, a complete discussion could be produced when we look at a society or a culture through the lenses of spending, consumption, exhaustion, etc., or concepts that are the antipodes of production, accumulation, acquisition, control, etc., that is, concepts employed in existing discussion methods. He asserted that, after all, culture had been maintained through activities deemed meaningless, such as releasing and consuming what was produced and accumulated.
First, the Contemporary Art Exhibition unfolds at the Busan Museum of Modern Art, Busan Yachting Center, and other places, under the direction of Kim Won-bang, a professor at Hongik University and art critic, exhibiting some 120 works of 100 artists from 20 countries. The Contemporary Art Exhibition, whose theme is "Expenditure, Art, Culture," presents the driver of today's cultural activities through the concept of expenditure, shifting directions from existing production-oriented and appearance-centered values to the disintegration of supernatural values and power of culture.

He asserted that, after all, culture had been maintained through activities deemed meaningless, such as releasing and consuming what was produced and accumulated.The 2008 Busan Biennale attempts to reinterpret the trends of contemporary art as the aesthetics of "expenditure" through a microscopic lens, as well as to interpret "expenditure" through a macroscopic lens from the perspectives of cultural theories. Differentiating itself from existing biennales, which focus on exhibiting latest art trends "with speed" and "in abundance," the 2008 Busan Biennale seeks to illuminate and predict the latest directions of contemporary art, from paintings to sculptures to videos, under the theme of "expenditure," employing thorough analyses and maintaining critical views.

This is a little.. hmm... u know what is this? The entire screen is just this image and some sound produced.. the sound comes from a teacher teaching in Jap.. that's all... i don't really catch this art.. 
This is the most interesting of all.. the entire room is just this.. the first impression from me is like "why is this room empty with only spot light sia".. then we've decided to take a closer look:
Oh.. so the entire room has only three screwdrivers.. 
This is art.. 
Cho Seong thought these are fungi.. lol.. and i think so too...
Car engine? 
Some drawings on the wall:
Can u see the message? 
Image projected onto the wall~
Finally i've found the only art i love the most..
And i kissed it.. haha!! I kinda like this pic.. :P

Some arts above the celling..
And we're proceeding to the next destination for the 2nd part of the 2008 Busan Biennale! Guess what, we saw a helicopter circling above us! The crew is still shooting the police scene.. haha! 
We took a taxi to the 2nd destination.
And behind this yellow board is a small movie room.. lots of these movie rooms around.. 
A bird escaped from one of the art display!! 
On the way to the 3rd destination for the 2008 Busan Biennale!! Saw some beautiful flowers around.. :)
And finally the Korea's national flower "Mugunghwa" ( Rose of Sharon )
According to records, Koreans have treasured the rose of Sharon as a heavenly flower since ancient times. In fact, the Silla Kingdom called itself Mugunghwa Country. Even the ancient Chinese referred to Korea as "The land of gentlemen where Mugunghwa blooms." Love for the flower was further heightened when Mugunghwa samcheolli hwaryeo gangsan" ("Rose of Sharon, thousand miles of beautiful mountain and river land!") was written into the national anthem of the late 19th century. As the rose of Sharon has been an important part of the Korean culture for centuries, it was only natural that the government adopted it as the national flower after Korea was liberated from Japanese colonial rule.

Finally we've reached the place!!
Finally we've reached the place!!The Busan Sculpture Project, which is headed by a sculptor Yi Jeong-hyeong, is hosted in APEC Naru Park, inviting 20 works of 20 artists from 15 countries. The theme of the Busan Sculpture Project, "Avant Garden," combined "Avant" from avant-garde with "Garden," which indicates a more private space than a park. Thus, "Avant Garden" implies the intention of transforming everyday spaces into creative ones by combining epistemological and aesthetic notions with ordinary parks.
I kinda like this too.. lots of stripes that maketh up the room.. nice!
Did u see a nice white place with light bulbs only? Take a closer look at the white sheet!! The artist actually draw maps on the white area!!! ( i really have to observe why this thing is white before i realised it is actually a map and not just a mess ) lol...
