display as art

i went to the old seoul train station yeseterday to see its annual exhibit of international student art. the pieces were incredible, and everywhere, as they were nearly pouring off the many walls and coridors and passageways. but the building itself was a veritable fantasyland of peeling wallpaper and dilapidated walls and spiraling wires and imaginative history.
i got carried away and began snapping photos religiously.

oh how i love that they had an art show here--what a wonderful, wonderful commentary on how art can be found in anything--water stains, peeling wallpaper, the contrast of clean modern lines from the frames with the texture of the decaying ceilings.
