Nam June Park Studio
I met Hakuda Ken who is an agent and a nephew of Nam June Paik. I could have a chance to see Nam Jine's SoHo Studio at Green Street.
Oct. 2004 NamJune Paik and Hakuda Ken
In this performance, Christo who makes "The Gate" Project in Central Park right now joined this performance. At that time, Nam June Paik painted acrylic colors on Christo's clothes and Christo hugged other audiences. Then, the aerylic colors sticked other audiences' colthes. Finally, everyone had colors on their clothes.
This is the leg part of mannequine above the picture. Nam June Paik made this art work after meeting Bill Clinton at White house. When he stood up to shake hands with Bill Clinton at the White House, his pants was taken off suddenly. About this happening, many people assumed it was intentional act. But who knows? any way that time, Hakuda Ken said Bill Clinton didn't express anything, but Hillary Cliton was very angry about that. Maybe this is a related to that moment.

Romantic Detachment
PS1 MoMa
The British artist - David Blandy who is invited by ‘Romantic Detachment’ group exhibition showed ‘The way of the barefoot long pilgrim’. He traveled in New York playing old soul music record in his old portable phonograph. He said he wanted to find and match his imagination when he listens to the soul music which includes the title related to a location name in New York. The soul music “Hell up in Harlem” which he likes and listens to often dragged him to real Harlem in New York. During his pilgrim, he didn’t wear shoes and wear an orange color uniform of Kung Fu for pilgrim. However, he was disappointed that the real place in New York didn’t match with his imagination when he listened to the music. Through this pilgrim, his journey made him find his identity even though his journey hasn’t finished. This is related to finding the identity of his country and his culture. His country, England, experiences confusion of their identity because recently England followed America’s line opposite way of French, German, and other Europe Countries about Iraq war. It was very interesting that he matched the goal of his artwork and situation of his country.
Katharina Sieverding: Close Up
PS1 MoMa, October 24, 2004 – January 23, 2005
Sieverding firmly believes that the responsibility of the artist is to act as a politically engaged being, absorbing, synthesizing and commenting on the rapid advancement of our technology-driven age. Sieverding's choice to focus on photography justifiably brings to light questions about the medium's attempt to document, reproduce and represent. Her oeuvre includes monumental photographic portraits that appropriate the scale of movie screens and billboards, while their abstract forms- the result of manipulation during the developing process - create images that transcend race, gender, and age. Her photographic works are endowed with a symbolic sense of presence and the ability to command a space, and thus embody a simultaneous commitment to the observer and the observed.

Narrative of montage
I went to exhibition "The Art of Romare Bearden" at the Whitney Museum. He usually uses collage and photomontage techniques to express his religious concept and landscape of North Carolina and Harlem in New York. In his painting, collage and photomontage tell various stories. Each photo or image in his painting has a unique story and these pieces together create whole story of his painting. His painting has numerous stories and conveys more meaning than just message of the title of his painting. So, we presume that his montage is a non-linear story on two-dimensional space.
Here is more information about the exhibition ...
The Art of Romare Bearden
on October 14, 2004 – January 9, 2005
Peter Norton Family Galleries, Floor 3, Whitney Museum
A much-heralded retrospective of Romare Bearden’s work, this exhibition includes the brilliant collages and photomontages for which he is best known, as well as his vibrant watercolors, monotypes, and book illustrations. Bearden and his fellow African-American artists created art based on their own unique experiences, and his visual narrative takes us from the rural South to the industrial North, from Harlem to the Caribbean island of St. Martin.

fending off walking to the sky!
The sculpture “Walking to the Sky”, which was installed in front of the Rockefeller Center, was dismantled last Friday October 18th. It looks like the figures which walk upward to the sky through a 100-foot tall stainless steel pole being dissembled. The pole tilts at a daunting angle, but several figures have undertaken the climb, striding purposefully upward, among them a little girl with pigtails, a man in a T-shirt, a business woman, an older man and several others. Three people stand at the bottom, looking up along with the rest of us.
Why does the artist of the sculpture choose to travel to the sky? The Sculpture is, the artist Jonathan Borofsky says, a “celebration of the human potential for discovering who we are and where we need to go”. However, to me, it seems to relate with the religious belief of heaven and the anxiety of the social hierarchy.

"This Hillary Clinton, Senator from the State of New York. She is married to Bill Clinton, the former President, and she was signing her new book at Barnes and Noble. Daddy got the book signed for me even though I won't be able to read it for many years! I waited a long time to meet her and was a little cranky, but eventually she made me smile."

The Design Process
The design process is very important when people make or develop products. The quality of products depends on how to make. In my cases, I usually start to basic data research about the product which I will design.
First of all, I gather the data about position in market, pros and cons of competitive products, and bench marking mode. Then, I make a specific process and a schedule. General process of mine can divided four steps.
First step is to make a strategy about the product. In this step, I interview large scale user soup or investigate behavior of small user group concerning the product. If the product was already shown in market, I generally observe how the user wants to change or what kinds of problems users feel. After gathering data about product, I develop a strategy to improve product quality or to provide best services to customer.
Second step is to design prototype. Using the data of product, I design the paper prototype. It is kind of sketch of product. First I draw a prototype in a paper and test the prototype with one or two users. I can find some problems or improve factors though this primary test. Then, I start to make more detail prototype using computer. And, I test the prototype one more time with five or seven users. In this test, I can find specific problem of user interface and can fix it correctly. Their step is to develop the product. Starting develop real product is not only one person’s duty in my case. Many experts join the product, and collaborate. My position is usually interaction design. So, I manage quality of user interface when engineers reflect my prototype to their programming. Finishing the veta version of the real product, we test again the product with ten or twelve users.
I observe how the users they reach their task goals, and what problems in there. I usually write report about the test and share with engineers. Then engineers finally fix the problems.
Final step is to lunch the product. This step is very important. How to show the product in the market or to customers determines the success or failure of the product. I explain the important functions or main point of project and suggest some opinions about how we can attract our users, because I observed several times users through tests in every step. Then the product is launched in the world. When customer care service starts to gather customer’s feedback, I can know the project’s success or failure. And I start next version of the product basis on customer’s feedback.
Designing product is not only for designer’s inspiration. Definitely, designer should consider target users who use the product everyday or frequently. In my design process, main points are to understand user’s needs and goals to design products using research data. Although design is creative works, I strongly believe that design should be for users, humans, and real world. Also, design should make benefits in their market if the product is not just pure artworks. Researching large-scale data and testing with users in every design process are the best way for the best design.

Relationship between public artists and reputation or maney
There are similar goals among Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s projects, De La Vega’s chalkings, and Diego Rivera’s murals. All of their art works have been shown in public places and there art works want to give a message about cultural, political, or environmental issues to ordinary people. Their ideal goals have reached people recently and started to receive recognition from public.
However, their art works started to transgress their initiate goal. Come Collectors and museums want to buy their sketches which is paid a lot of money by collectors and museums. Any artist doesn’t want to sell their art for the money. Landscape artists, who don’t want to make their art use commercially, make their art in nature because collectors can’t collect nature of huge size. Maybe Christo and Jeanne-Claude thought like that before. Mural and Graphitti artists also think, too. Nevertheless, their art works such as sketches and concept notes expensive more and more with time. I wonder Christo and Jeanne-Claude really earn modest salary, and Chico who is mural artist really will retire a living as a street artist and will not use his reputation after retirement. In my opinion some typical fine artists don’t care about audience and just concentrate their artworks. Besides, public artists need audiences who can interact or recognize their works. I think if reputation or money leads the public artists’ enthusiasm, they could not reject easily. This kinds of results are more bad than fine artist sell their art works to collectors because the public artist use public for themselves. I understand living as a public artist is very difficult. However, they also should be very careful using their work commercially.
