I Art Seoul

Here is a sampling of art that I saw while wandering around Insa-Dong and Samcheong-Dong in Seoul.













Museum of Contemporary Art: Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art

This show at the MCA juxtaposes 7 contemporary artists to Alexander Calder. Within these artists works, you can see where they took references from Calder or where they allude to him.

On the main level of the MCA, there are 2 large halls that face each other. On one side was pieces by Calder and on the other were the other 7 artists.





This aluminum sculpture was made by Aaron Curry. There are no bolts or joints in his piece. It's a freestanding, balanced figurative work and you can see his reference to Calder in the shapes that he uses.


An earlier plywood piece by A. Curry



"Pig Latin" by Jason Meadows. As you walk around this metal sculpture, you pass between two-dimensions and three-dimensions.
