Arugula bolting because of a water-less hot day. Got so spicy. I pulled it and transplanted nasturtiums.
But my students liked it and they learned about plant survival mechanisms.

I met her at the illegal garden in Hannam-dong. (see earlier posts) She was very busy with her garden work. It was May day. She was cutting buds from huge bushes. I forgot the name of the vegetable. She said that it’s delicious. I haven’t tried it yet.
I’ve been making work in Hannam-dong as part of a project for SUP. I chose the location to paint because it was close to the illegal garden.
I met this man after I saw him taking record of the houses in the area that are lived in and the houses that are abandoned. He said he was a Yongsan district civil servant. I asked him about the area. He told me it would all be demolished by 2017.
Illegal community garden in Hannam-dong, Seoul. The last of it’s kind where you can see the Han River. The garden was made by the people in the community after a section of houses were torn down for redevelopment.
I’m gonna mix this up a little bit and post some pictures from my trip a couple months ago to Gangjeong Maul (강정마울) Local / national / global scale issue of development, space, ability, power and strategy. A naval base is being constructed there on large rock that has historical and environmental importance to the community, so there is a lot of fighting and division. They have been trying to stop it for 5 years. They started blasting the rock this spring.
The day I visited I participated in an action trying to get into the construction zone. Since then a lot of the protesters have wound up in jail or in the hospital, and the construction continues.
