My artwork is mentioned in the Guardian's review of the Gwangju Biennale...

A grand canvas for Gwangju's role in dawn of South Korean ...

Gwangju Biennale artworks deal with popular resistance from Asia to the Arab spring and the Occupy movement ...The market workers themselves, snoozing in the sun after the morning rush, are represented in murals and the cobalt-hued portraits, adorned with Hangul script, of William Andersen.

Portraits of local artists and traditional market workers in the Daein Market that reflect on the consolidation of multinational corporations’ hegemony over the shaping of peoples’ tastes and sense of identity around the globe, a topic especially pertinent now in South Korea where the highly divisive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States just went into effect March 15, 2012. The portraits combine photography with Korean calligraphy and are mounted as traditional scrolls. My solo exhibition, entitled '…occurrences in dislocation' will be at Han Pyeong Gallery and the Mite-Ugro Archive in the Daein Market, Gwangju, South Korea from September 5 to October 4, 2012.

Update on remake of Chris Marker's La Jetee (R.I.P. Chris Marker)

La jetée (dir. Chris Marker, 1962)

After getting our studio ready and finishing the kickstarter campaign, Jonah and I were pretty exhausted. We took a couple of days to enjoy market performances, get to know some of the Gwangju artists, and spend time with the director of Mite-Ugro, Seungki Cho. It's August first and we have a lot to work to do in order to get work ready in time for the Gwangju Biennale. Here is what we are planning to accomplish in the next month: 1. My solo show will be exhibited during the same time as the Gwangju Biennale. My works with include handmade scrolls exploring the loss of traditional Korean culture. 2. Jonah and I will film a teaser trailer for Yeok so we can screen it during the time of the Gwangju Biennale. 3. Jonah and I will create a live production performance during the Gwangju Biennale of a scene from Yeok to mark the death of Chris Marker and to celebrate his life and work.
