♢  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.

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


*코러스

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
