ARTIFICAL LANDSCAPE Spectacle or Phantasmagoria
Artist Kim Jong-sook's exhibition was held at the Shinhan Gallery Yeoksam under the title of "Artificial Landscape." Kim transforms Korea's traditional calm, serene paintings into a world of fantasy and imagination by affixing thousands of Swarovski crystals. As a result, her crystal landscape and flower-and-bird paintings are ever so extravagant as opposed to the original works. Kim also depicts the size of the brushes used to create the original pieces as well as their light and shade effects with the size of jewels. Not only that, her pieces display detailed expressions of high mountains, vertiginous cliffs and deep valleys, providing the audience with the feeling of moving and possessing nature. The average time required to create a single piece is about three to four months. Though the process was tough, Kim successfully created a new artistic genre called 'crystal painting' with her experimental spirit and persistent effort, and that offers a new pathway of art to people.

Performance
Kim Duk-soo Electric SamulNori
Korean percussion maestro Kim Duk-soo held the concert "Kim Duk-soo Electric SamulNori" at the Uijeongbu Art Center, demonstrating a fantastic mix of Samulnori (traditional Korean percussion quartet or music) and electronic music. As a towering figure of Samulnori, Kim has constantly been seeking ways to communicate with young generations as well as reinventing the beats and sounds of Samulnori. This time, he collaborated with three electronic rock musicians and feasted the ears of the audience with the very unlikely encounter of electronic music and traditional percussion sounds, proving that this unique music genre can be enjoyed universally.
The song "Advance" fascinates the audience by combining Byeoldalguri rhythm, the fasted rhythm in traditional Korean music, with the fierce sounds of heavy metal electro
