Walking from Chinatown all the way up to Seckjungru on top of Jayu Park. It offered great view over the city and yellow sea. And reminded us Incheon is a habor city and reclaimed lands where new city is called Songdo new city is built. wonder what would it happend to this mand made island if the sea water level goes really high 100 years after global warming.

We saw most happily singing and dancing group of adults at the Jayu Park during the walks.

Walkday1. Oct 18.

동인천, 배다리, 자유공원, 차이나타운과 스페이스 빔:Space Beam Community

 

 

에코파크까지 걸어갔다- 현재 배다리에 위치한 스페이스빔 커뮤니티에 의해 운영되고 있다.

홍예문(Hongyemun)을 막 지나서

자유공원 가는길에 잠시 멈추었다. 일본식 건물, 겉모습만 봐서는  보기에는 사람이 살고 있지 않은 듯하다. 나중에 읽었던 인천 향토사학자 이종복씨가 쓴 책 '길따라 건물따라1'에서 이집을 반갑게 다시 보게 되었다. 실제로 이집은 몇년전 한국을 다시 보러온 한 일본인 할아버지가 일제 시대에 의사인 아버지를 따라와서 어린시절을 보낸 집이라고 한다. 당시 그가 인천을 방문했을때는 약 80세 가량있었고, 지금 후쿠오카에 살고 있다고 (책이 몇년전에 쓰여진걸로 봐서 지금 살아있는지는 모르지만) 한다.

(Updated)-16일 월요일 워킹에서 나는 이집 얘기를 좀더 제대로 할수 있었다. 우리는 이집에 실제로 누가 살고 있는지 확인하기 위해 문입구를 찾아가 보았다. 초인종도 눌러보았지만, 초인종 밧데리도 나간지 오래된거 같았고, 역시나 아무도 살고 있지 않았다.  감나무에 감도 그대로 달려 있었고, 한쪽에서 여전히 꽃이 피어 있었고, 한쪽에선 낙옆이 수북히 쌓여 있었다. 정현씨가 말했던 것처럼 이런집이말로  아티스트 레지던시가 된다면 작가든 글쓰는 사람이든 정말 많은 이야기를 할수 있을것이라고 언급했다.

(Updated 18일 수요일)어제 민주점에서 들은 얘기로는 그집은 현재 경매에 팔렸다고 한다. 누가 사서 무엇을 어떻게 할지 궁금하다. .

“Let’s walk and chat together....”

FamilyMart Social I

Over the past few months we have all been crossing paths, enjoying and relying on each other to different extents. As many may have observed, in Korea chatting and drinking together is a defining trait of the social fabric, so we propose the following…

Let’s gather together to explore this tradition of socializing through chatting and drinking by walking together from Family Mart to Family Mart along the Han River!

Please meet us on Saturday, September 12, 2009, at 10pm, outside Hapjeong Station (exit 5) to begin the walk to Yanghwajin foreign missionary cemetery...

Please feel free to bring your cameras or recorders as well as anything you would like to share! Please rsvp to  jooyounglee25@gmail.com

Background story

A few weeks ago a long walk along the Han River began at YangWhajin and lasted long into the night. YangWhajin is where the foreign missionary cemetery is located and one of the ports connected to Jemulpo Port in Incheon during the Joseon Dynasty. Possibly channeling its long history as a meeting point between people, this place became a departure point for a three person conversation that touched upon ideas of convenience, family, customs, and artistic practice. Another integral part was much goofiness, eating, walking and some drinking. This experience highlighted the multiple values of this type of exchange: devoid of intentionality Family Mart Social (0) was born.

Reflecting on Jooyoung Lee’s Family Mart Photo Series the idea of exploring the significance of walking together and socializing at a place like the Family Mart, always open because people’s schedules are all different and mean that they need something they can always rely on, by sharing the experience with others was imagined and is now proposed as Family Mart Social I.
