And some more...

Work in progress

Hermès visit

Today we made one of Erlend's wettest dream come true. We didn't only go to the Hermès boutique, or I should rather say Hermès palace, in Seoul, but we also had an appointment with the artistic curator, Kim Sung Won at their space by Dosan Park.

Getting there was however a bit troublesome - we all met in the Apgujeong subway station (Jan, Lina, Erlend, Bjørn and myself), had a quick coffee and then we took two taxi's towards the space. Neither of the taxi drivers knew how to get to the space and the language barrier made things more difficult. Theese problems are actually nothing that has been covered in this blog so far but should have been much earlier: the "lost in translation"- as well as "no translation at all while communicating"- problem. In most places English is really "the new Latin" like Bjørn likes to say, but this does not naturally comply in Seoul. Jooyoung has had a lot of work during our stay with helping us communicate to taxi drivers, shop owners etc - we use the speed dial to her many times a day to be able to get something done. In any case - we made it to the space after some minor obstacles.

Upon arrival we gathered that our hostess was running late due to another meeting with two of the three finalists of the 2007 Hermès Korea Missulsang prize that will all exhibit in the space in August. Jan, Bjørn, Erlend and me was placed in their sleek meeting room and waited while sipping our chic tea. Jan quite naturally seated himself in the chairman seat and it fitted him perfectly. We had a nice time and chatted about this and that while waiting. We had a short encounter with the director finally as well as the two finalists in the restaurant in the basement. After this Erlend went on a shopping spree and the rest of us went to "our" gallery for yet another meeting with an artist - the first artist that decided not to join in of all the meetings we have had so far.
