Odeng Soup
It’s a cold day. I was unpacking my library and organizing drawings on paper and ephemerals. It was dark so soon and I made Odeng Soup for dinner.
Ptitim
Ptitim, or Israeli couscous, is a favorite dish for many Israeli children. After going out every night for a week, eating giant Korean dinners and too much drinking, I felt like deviating to something different, so made these, thinking of my friends in Israel. Recipe is simple. Sauté Garlic and Onion for few minutes with olive… Continue reading Ptitim

한가지 바라는 게 있다면
요즘 내가 한가지 바라는 게 있다면 깨끗한 전시장에서 전시를 해보고 싶다. 자연광이 적당히 들어오고 마룻바닥이나 미끈한 콘크리트 바닥이 깔렸고, 벽은 못 자국이나 페인트 얼룩이 하나도 없이 밋밋했으면 한다. 그렇다고 해서 미술관이나 박물관처럼 권위적인 공간에 들어가고 싶은 것은 아니다. 가장 비물질적이고, 과정 중심적이고, 상품가치가 없는 작업을 할 때에 그러한 환경이 쾌적하다면 많은 도움이 될 것 같다.… Continue reading 한가지 바라는 게 있다면
