Monster Madrid K-fest in February!!!

09-Jan-07

Not so good news: in a classic example of too many cooks spoiling the broth, the Korean curator has resigned because of meddling from the embassy and the Ministry of Culture & Tourism. Why the powers that be would want to introduce a show of traditional Korean culture into a modern art expo is beyond me. Yonhap has the story: S. Korea's plan for Spanish art fair hits obstacle after director resigns SEOUL, June ...
