International artists and curators can be very ³noisy² and ³wild² when abroad and in a strangely isolated and privileged context. French songs, French wine, French ³amour². Nothing is really easily available here in Kwangju, Korea. One of the artists went to Seoul and returned with a little knife that was supposed to protect women from losing their virginity before marriage (suicide afterwards). But he lost his virginity in the street in the style of many young Korean men before they are entering the military for almost 3 years: for 60000 won (about 70 $).
