February 5, 2008 //Here's a little quote passed on by one of my colleagues in AP:// Everything revolves around the stillpoint. Everything unique and beautiful grows out of the stillpoint. Without a stillpoint in the middle of a life, it starts to spin out of control. The stillpoint is that place for quiet reflection, meditation or prayer—whatever your practice is—there are lots of ways of getting there. It can be lying on a hammock in the summer listening to the birds. It can be daydreaming in bed for an hour in the morning.

Except for the point, the stillpoint, There would be no dance, And there is only the dance. - T.S. Eliot

[|Georges Braque] [|Juan Gris's] [|Pablo Picasso], all lived in Paris, and when they began to compare the results of their techniques it became obvious to Picasso and Bracque that they had simultaneously and independently invented a revolutionary style of painting, later dubbed “Cubism” by Guillaume Apollinaire. During the next few years the new style blossomed with stunning rapidity from its initial formative stage to high Analytic Cubism. The hallmarks of this advanced phase, so-called for the “breaking down” or “analysis” of form and space, are seen in an extraordinary pair of pendant works, Violin and Palette and Piano and Mandola. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/cube/hd_cube.htm

October 1, 2007 [|The Devil Wears Prada.mp3] Recording produced by Glenn Zucman for his Art110 Wiki space.

by Won-bok Rhie; Louis Choi, Jung Un (translation) size: 257*188mm; 236 pages. publisher: Kimyoungsa, 2005.

This is an English edition of the bestseller comic book Far Countries, Neighboring Countries 9 - Korea (Sae Mon Nara Iun Nara 9 - Uri Nara). The book is to introduce real aspects of Korea that are sometimes misunderstood and unknown to foreigners. Through skillfully chosen subjects - e.g., spicy food, education fever, conglomerates, the tension between North and South Korea - Won-bok Rhie explores the unique manifestations of Korean attitudes that are often misunderstood by foreigners. It is a fascinating exploration of the Korean mindset that weaves together history, sociology and cultural anthropology. The insightful discussions on Korea's place between China and Japan, its more well-known neighbors, also clear the fog away as to who the Korean people are.
