red elephant



Red Elephant


Mr. Elephant lifts things with his nose
Give him a cookie, and see where it goes

Your big grey hands reflect in a cold machine,
Your neck droops, your tusks dip, your ears sweep the floor,
The burdens your trunk lifts are taking their toll

Mr. Elephant lifts things with his nose
Give him a cookie, and see where it goes

Over your shoulder you told me aloud,
You still dream of freedom in this commuting bus, in this crowd,
You still dream of love in bitter, grey Seoul.

Sunset colors you red,
Deeper red than a flame,
I saw a dazzling red elephant,

Mr. Elephant lifts things with his nose
Give him a cookie, and see where it goes

붉은 코끼리 red elephant

코끼리 아저씨는 코가 손이래, 과자를 주면은 코로 받지요

차가운 기계에 비친 너의 굵은 회색 손
바닥까지 늘어진 너의 크고 무거운 귀
너의 긴 하루가 너의 긴 코에 걸려있어

코끼리 아저씨는 코가 손이래, 과자를 주면은 코로 받지요

넓고 외로운 등을 보이며 너는 말했지
그 빈틈없이 빽빽한 통근 버스 안에서 여전히 자유를 꿈꾼다고
이 비릿한 회색의 서울에서 여전히 사랑을 꿈꾼다고

석양이 너를 붉게 물들여
불꽃 보다 더 붉게 물들여
눈이 시리도록 붉은 코끼리를 보았네

코끼리 아저씨는 코가 손이래, 과자를 주면은 코로 받지요

Blue High


Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me high.
Baby, you just make me, high.

Sometimes I feel so happy,
Sometimes I feel so sad.
Sometimes I feel so happy,
But mostly you just make me high.
Baby you just make me, high.

It's a single sheet of newsprint with a full listing of every all ages / underground show in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, along with a beautiful, full-color print.   



  ISSUE 133: Michelangelo Pistoletto Band
  May 29 - June 12 

1 of 3 Issues Curated by Ethan Swan

Michelangelo Pistoletto Band is a collaboration between the artists Bona Park (b. 1977) and Eunji Cho (b. 1973). Based in Seoul, South Korea, the duo uses sound, video, and performance to reflect on the changing landscape of Korean cities. For their music video "Heart of Korea," the band investigated what they describe as the "melancholy landscapes" of Incheon. The third largest city in South Korea, Incheon has recently undergone a rebranding as a English-speaking, commercial hub. "Heart of Korea" examines the tension between old and new by filming the band in an old park, which has since been demolished, while the accompanying song lists street names from the city's new developments, such as "Tomorrow City" and "Smart Valley."

To Let

We made new music videos of the songs we performed in Seongam-island, 2010 as a part of the RealEstateBoxEmptySeongam-do123 project. This one was shot in front of an empty box building which is used to be a real estate agency in Seongam-island.


To let



Today as everyday
Nobody visits me
Just like every other day

On a small island in the west sea
I am alone
All alone and lonely

Nothing but grape fields and more fields of grapes
Nothing but melons, piles of melons

The girl on the bus passing by
Gazing at me from bus 123
I cannot forget her. I won't even try
(your empty eyes) *
This is how lonely I am
(my empty life) *
This is how shabby I am
(your empty eye) *

Oh, grapes
Oh, melos

(my empty life)

Oh, grapes
Oh, melons

* chorus
* translated by Bona Park with Jakub Wrzesniewski's help

임대

오늘도 하루 아무도
나를 찾지 않네
그렇게 또 하루

서해 바다 작은 섬에 나는
그렇게 혼자서
외로이 혼자서

먹먹한 포도밭, 또 포도밭
노란 참외 더미

나를 스쳐간 소녀
123 버스 창문 너머의 소녀
그 눈빛을 잊을 수 없네
(너의 텅빈 눈빛) *
난 이렇게 외로운데
(나의 텅빈 마음) *
난 이렇게 초라한데
(너의 텅빈 눈빛) *

오, 포도
오, 참외

(나의 텅빈 마음) *

오, 포도
오, 참외

Owner of Another Island

We made new music videos of the songs we performed in Seongam-island, 2010 as a part of the RealEstateBoxEmptySeongam-do123 project. This one was shot in a resort town in Seongam-island built in a form of American bed town style.



Owner of Another Island

One woman
Met a man
At Another Island
Then fell in love
so she goes there often

That woman's
Rich man lover
Heard of Another Island
And bought the island for her

Rich man lover
Bought an island just for the sake of it
That woman
Goes to the island just for the sake of love

* Translated by Taey Iohe


딴섬 주인

한 여인이
딴섬에서
딴남자를 만나
사랑에 빠져
딴섬에 자주 갔고

그 여인의
부자연인은
그 여인이 자주 가는
그 딴섬을 사주었고

그래서 부자연인은
그 딴섬을 샀을 뿐이고
그 여인은
그 딴섬에서
딴사람과 사랑을 할뿐이고
