Yi Sang House, Seoul

1 June 2011

The Conversations with Yi Sang project, co-organised by artist Jooyoung Lee (pictured above), seeks to interrogate, engage with and memorialise the work of controversial twentieth-century Korean poet Yi Sang.

Located in the building in which Yi Sang once lived, the project focuses on both the reclamation of the physical structure as well as a site for multi-arts collaboration.

All this is set against the backdrop of a dabang or coffee house, which functions as a literary and artistic salon, sustained by contributions from its patrons paying for mulberry tea and whisky (double) with coffee.
