If you are looking for something to do in the more on the aesthetic, and specifically the photography related then you might want to grab your camera and head to the Daegu International Bodypainting Festival at Apsan Park.
I went last year and I took some pretty nice photos away. Of course, there will also be half naked Korean girls there, but we don’t care about that, do we? Nothing much will be worth seeing before about 11am and only by about 1pm did things start getting really interesting. By about 3pm the Face Painting and Costume Design section, my favourite section, should be heading to the stage and the body painting will have about 2 hours to go. If you decide to go then I hope that gives you something to work with.
If you are not in the mood to go to Daegu (I understand that most people are to lazy to leave their immediate 30 minute radius) then don’t fret because there is always something happening in Seoul. Few photographers have never heard of Henri Cartier-Bresson. Dude is one of the gods of photography. Some don’t like him and they have good reason not to, but that is no reason not to see works of one of the be best known photographers ever. Henri Cartier-Bresson: Speaking through Pictures will be held in Gwanghwamun and finishes this weekend.
Last is something much smaller but much more personal. Mannam Photography will have a small exhibit by its members with the theme “World Piece”. It will be held at The Alley in Itaewon and if I knew how I would have included a link to a Naver Map. However, if you just go to maps.naver.com and type “The Alley” in to the search box you will see where it is.
Hope everyone has a fun and productive weekend.
