(1) Tokyo, 4 Weeks
=================================================================
 
Discover Seoul by Subway
Subway Line 1

recommended by Crazy Ken Band leader, DJ, writer, and Korea fan,
Yokoyama Ken


Although Seoul is geographically the closest foreign metropolis to
Tokyo, it's such a strange place that you think you're not only in
a foreign country, but on another planet, even in another dimension!
Among all the places around the world I've seen, Seoul is the only
one that makes me, a man of 41 years, as curious and vigorous as a
little school boy. During my stay in Seoul I was permanently feeling
as if I was in a dream, and everything that was picked up by my eyes
reached my heart with a little time lag. This time lag represents
all those inexplicable things that make up my own image of Seoul,
and that are causing this kind of chemical reaction in my brain,
even though there's actually not a second of time difference between
Tokyo and Seoul. This is the perfect legal drug. The mysterious
Seoul nights might even have to do with the fact that I'm not at
all interested in drugs...

Terror's Shadows

In volume 024 Ozaki Tetsuya discusses the consequences the recent
terror strikes can have on art exhibitions.


I went to see the "Credit Game" exhibition at Hatsudai's ICC (NTT
InterCommunication Center, running until 12/24). Put together by
guest curator Masuyama Hiroshi, this one is different from all
exhibitions previously held at ICC, and it's really good and easy
to understand. The theme is 'money.' Quoting Masuyama's explanation,
the "Credit Game" exhibit is an “attempt to examine, from an
artistic perspective, value that is easily convertible to money,
and value that is not." He further pronounces that "what we can
afford least nowadays is 'not to know.' Isn't it true that we know
almost nothing about money?"
