Never got around to putting up these images from the Fast Break show that opened at PKM Gallery in April. A strong group of contemporary Korean art was on display. A couple of the highlights:
Yoon Jeong-mee, Pink Project, 2007
Yoon Jeong-mee, Blue Project, 2007
Incredibly tiny hand-modeled figures. Can’t recall the artist’s name.

Wrangle up a little sponsorship, and watch the numbers soar…
Pecha Kucha, the rapid-fire lecture series founded in Japan and now franchised around the globe, made its second appearance in Beijing in April. With a little PR help from Nike and the use of the corporation’s gargantuan space inside factory 706, the event turned out [...]
