My appreciation

Dear everyone,

I would just like to say thank you for your collaboration, generousity, hospitality and enthusiasm. Even after our departure from Seoul, I have enjoyed following the blog and appreciated all your kind words and poetry! Even seeing all the collaborative labour that you have put into the de-installation of the exhibition makes me happy. I have been happy to see so many people become friends. This has all been very inspiring.

It is interesting to see how we all have been able to realize the full potential and effect of our intense time together only afterwards - I am thinking of all your blog greetings and the entries by Power and Erlend, which represent insight and appreciation that could only be understood after stepping back from the social maelstrom which we were part of during the Yeonhee-dong project.

I'd say that this trip to Seoul was one of the best times of my life. It was hectic and hard, but it was so much fun, wonderful people and friends, amazing food, endless nights, saunas, hotels, parties, more food, work, meetings, encounters, shopping and much more.

I hope that we will somehow all be able to meet again somewhere soon... let's all keep in touch.

I will finish a preface and the photo collage (with Bjørn) for the poster-publication. Then I am going to follow the preparations to the Seoul City Museum-project. I am sure that you will all make more out of that than we ever managed to do in three weeks in Yeonhee-dong!

Thank you everybody.

Always, Jan
