A review of some of the highlights and trends in the Korean cultural year, primarily in London but also with half an eye to anything we might have seen elsewhere in the UK. The review is a personal one, inevitably skewed towards the events we managed to get to. Introduction This time last year I […]

Buy a Haegue Yang print for £150, courtesy of the London Underground
I completely missed this little project when it was launched in May last year.

As the escalator carried me away to the Jubilee line, I turned to browse the lists of […]

South Bank workshop disappoints
Not sure we’ll be getting a write-up of Haegue Yang’s day at the South Bank. I got this from someone who was going to write it up: “Haegue’s workshop yesterday was so disappointing… I made two simple origami figures and knitting without anything related to Haegue’s work really. I don’t have anything to write about […]
