The biggest thing I have learned from Berlin is getting rid of the limitations. Directors, actors, set and costume designers, sounds, stages.. nothing was 'ordinary'.Nothing seemed to have limits compare to the shows I have seen before. Not only in the shows but in museums I felt the same thing.They had choice beyond the safety zone that they made to express their thoughts weather it worked great or didn't at all. I could find the same in paintings,drawings and sculptures.
I was mostly interested in simple drawings that I could try to imitate at home because I thought my drawing was stuck in same style. I was maybe trapped into ideas that my drawings should be unconsciously. It was hard to break thought my comfort zone.
I have seen many really many arts in museums throughout the periods. It was amazing to find how different artists had spoke though their art. Especially Imex exhibitions was interesting to see the arts of impressionism and expressionism artist under similar time period and social circumstances.
Born and raised in Korea, I think I was trained to be 'good' and get a 'right' answer. I tend to not attempt if I am not confident to be near perfection. Someone's approval was always needed to feel good about my work. After living 3 years in New York and experiencing a glimpse of Berlin, I feel I have changed. The way I do my art and the way I see other's art also has been changed. I feel like I am getting to believe myself more as an artist.
These are drawings from Imex exhibition at National Galarie and some from Berggruen Museum and Neues Museum.
