Playground (5)
I already knew that the contract party would not be Ko Hun, but a new corporation with Ko Hun and Henri Marso as the major shareholders, but the na was unique.
Chocolatier was a profession that made and designed chocolate.
“Chocolatier.”
As Team Leader Piaf uttered the word, Ko Hun smiled.
“It’s a cool na, right?”
“Yes. But.”
Giovanna Piaf, who was very interested in the art world enough to watch Ko Hun closely, knew that it was a word used to mock Ko Hun.
“I made it with the intention of creating sweet happiness like chocolate.”
“Oh.”
As Ko Hun explained why he nad it Chocolatier, Team Leader Piaf nodded.
Co to think of it, art history was like a history of mockery.
Now, Baroque, which is known as a classic of classics, was a word derived from a word aning a distorted pearl.
At that ti, critics used it to criticize the deford, flashy, and decorative artistic trend.
Even Impressionism, which is now loved by the most people, was a word that a critic who saw Monet’s mocked as ‘just a bunch of impressionists’.
The Impressionist painters used it as their own na and gained recognition.
The sa was true for the Fauvists, who were led by Henri Matisse, a master who rivaled Pablo Picasso.
The critic said that they used color wrongly and called them beasts.
The common point was that the words that were not recognized and ridiculed at the ti were not conveyed in that sense now.
Now, no one took the words impressive or beastly as mockery.
Giovanna Piaf thought that this change of perception proved the victory of the artist.
Maybe the word Chocolatier, which a critic used to mock Ko Hun, could be like that.
‘Co to think of it.’
Giovanna Piaf recalled an article written by Caroline Strick, a renowned art historian, last year.
She visited the ‘Sweet Happiness’ exhibition and nad Ko Hun’s work and Chocolatism.
Giovanna Piaf looked at Ko Hun.
There were many artists who announced their nas, but few who brought change.
Piaf was sure that Ko Hun was such an artist.
‘If I contract with Ko Hun for up to 4.5 million euros, it’s a bargain.’
She smiled.
“Yes. It’s a really cool na.”
When I turned on the broadcast, 5,000 people ca in.
After the Art Nouveau competition, the YouTube subscribers increased greatly by adding English and French subtitles, but the live broadcast was not much increased because it was in Korean.
This was the first ti that so many people ca in.
└Pingha!
└Hoonha!
└You said you would work hard on the broadcast, but you did it in two weeks ㅠㅠ
└Did you finish your work?
└I want to eat pork belly rice
└Professor, what lecture is today?
└You said you had sothing to announce?
That person was talking about pork belly rice as soon as he ca in.
“Hello. Yes. I turned it on today because I have sothing to tell you. I was busy with Dallida Square and other things. I’m sorry.”
As I apologized for not being able to broadcast often, the Dallida viewers brought up the story of the square.
“Thanks to you, I did well. People from our country also ca. They gave cheese-fried kimchi fried rice and it was really delicious.”
As I told them about what happened at Dallida Square, ti flew by. In the anti, the viewers also increased to 8,000.
It seed like everyone who was going to co in ca in, so I brought up the main point.
“As you may know from the article, I made a company with Marso. The na is Chocolatier.”
└Chocolatier??
└Isn’t that the nonsense that Ito Hirobumi said?
└Not Ito, but Tanaka ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└You finally joined with Henri Marso!
└What kind of company is it?
The person who asked what was going on with Marso was particularly happy.
“I liked it. This ti, as I gave chocolate and snacks to the kids, I felt that it would be nice if my work could approach them in that way.”
The viewers cheered on.
“I’m thinking of two things right now. One is to open an exhibition with painters who share my mind. Mainly those who are not noticed for making good works. Now, there are three of us, Marso and Fabre.”
I have a few people in mind, but I need to recruit so more. Yes, the poster I drew last ti. I didn’t plan to make it this big, but I heard it’s better to form a corporation if I think about contracts, revenue sharing, taxes, and stuff like that."
I introduced so of my works to the viewers who asked who Fabre was.
“And I’m going to make a play space. On weekends, kids can co with their parents and draw and play. I’m going to run it under the na Playground, and I’ll also work with the kids.”
└Is it like a school?
└I would definitely go if I could learn from Hoon and Henri.
└I want to go too ㅠㅠ
└I want to eat spicy pork rice bowl
└Seriously. If Hoon and Henri teach, people will flock there. Our Hoon is making money!!
└But is he an AI? He cos in every broadcast and chats for 3-4 hours that he wants to eat spicy pork rice bowl.
“I’m not trying to make money. I won’t charge anything. If too many people co, I might have to do a lottery or set so conditions. For now, I want to accept kids who are from poor families or who are not well adapted to France.”
So viewers expressed their concern.
There were so who said I should take care of my own work instead of volunteering, and so who said I should have so inco to maintain it.
There were also so words I couldn’t understand.
“What does it an, ‘If you keep being kind, you’ll beco Dooly’?”
I’ve never heard that before.
└Wow. There’s a generation that doesn’t know this joke.
└You don’t know Dooly?
└ㅁㅊ he doesn’t know
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋPeople born in 2022 entered elentary school this yearㅋㅋㅋㅋ
It ans that if you keep being kind, people will take it for granted and beco arrogant.
That must happen sotis.
Not everyone who is poor and weak is good.
“If that happens, Mr. Taeho will step in. And Marso is not the kind of person who would let that happen.”
People asked about the company again.
There were a lot of questions, probably because they were curious about and Henri Marso starting a company together.
“Yes. Marso and I invested half and half. The managent will be handled by Mr. Taeho of Sunflower, the managent company I’m currently contracted with.”
└You don’t know what ‘If you keep being kind, you’ll beco Dooly’ ans, but you know words like investnt, managent, and shares.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋEarly education
└So are you living with Henri Marso now?
└But if you don’t have any inco, you’ll only spend money.
“It’s not like that. I got a job with the Bugrenelli shopping mall. Thanks to what I did at Dallida Square. I’m going to paint a mural with the kids, and there will be an article about it.”
There were quite a few articles in the French press, but when I looked it up in Korea, only Daehan Ilbo and Yehwa gave it to .
It seems like it hasn’t been known for long.
I showed the article on the screen.
└Up to 4.5 million euros???
└You said you were going to earn tuition, but you made 6 billion wonㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Our Hoon has a plan!
└Spicy pork rice bowl is 1 million bowls…
└Hoon, do you copy money? Can you teach too?
└What is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You also made the Giamseong art book, how much are you making this yearㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“That’s right. You don’t have to worry about my money. I make a lot of money.”
It’s not an empty word. I could really build a building like Marso Gallery in downtown Paris right now.
“There’s a condition attached to it. Do you know what the Grand Art Tour is?”
Quite a few people know.
“That’s right. It’s the year when you can see the Venice Biennale, the Kassel Docunta, the Munster Sculpture Project, and the Art Basel together. It’s next year. I have to win all of them. This seems a bit difficult.”
└?
└Mr. Bugrenelli, what are you talking about?
└He’s upset because he doesn’t want to pay less.
└Why is it hard? Do it.
└Noㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What is thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ How can you do thatㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└No. The condition is a bit weird, isn’t it? There are events without any entry criteria.
└Right? Except for the others, the Kassel Docunta is a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? I heard that they usually talk and work two years in advance. And if the director doesn’t call Hoon, it’s over.
└The Munster Sculpture Project doesn’t make sense either ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Hoon is a painter, not a sculptorㅋㅋㅋ
└What’s the standard for Art Basel? Isn’t it just a place where galleries gather and sell?
└I don’t know much, but looking at the chat, I can tell how ridiculous this condition is.
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋIt’s funny that you all assu that he’ll win the Venice Biennaleㅋㅋㅋㅋ
└Rightㅋㅋㅋㅋ Venice Biennale is nothing to Hoonㅋㅋ
└Reallyㅋㅋㅋ It’s one of the three major biennales in the world.
The viewers think the sa as .
It’s an absurd condition.
I don’t really care if I fail, since I can still get 3 million euros. But I wonder what Ban Tae-ho was thinking when he gave such a condition.
“So, next month, I’m going to paint a mural on the basent floor of the Bugrenelli shopping mall. And then, I think I’ll be busy preparing for next year’s competition.”
I have about a year to do it.
I used to paint one piece a day, but I don’t know if I can prepare four pieces that suit each event.
“That’s all I have to tell you.”
Question marks kept popping up in the chat window. They ant to ask if I was ending the broadcast already.
I checked the clock and it was only 8 o’clock.
I hadn’t done a broadcast for two weeks, so I wanted to catch up with them, but I felt like I had to do sothing more.
“Then, let’s talk about art for a change. Whose story would you like to hear?”
Many people were ntioned.
Grandpa, Marso, Hockney, Basquiat, Bresson, Picasso, Matisse, Pollock, Warhol, Kirchner, and so on. I had no idea who to choose, so I made up my mind.
“There are too many people you ntioned, so I don’t know who to pick. So, today, I’ll talk a little bit about contemporary art.”
I had so feelings that I wanted to sort out, and I also wanted to hear what the viewers thought.
“How do you feel when you hear the word contemporary art?”
A dot, a line.
Art that I don’t understand.
Their own league.
There were a lot of comnts saying that it was like a rigged ga of Go-Stop, and so wrote seriously about the rits of contemporary art.
“Before I say anything, I want to make it clear that this is just my opinion. Whatever you think, it’s your freedom and your appreciation, so there’s no right or wrong.”
└Yes, professor
└Hurry up and take notes
└ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋDon’t do thatㅋㅋ
My viewers liked to joke around, whether it was just them or everywhere else.
“First of all, I think the contemporary artists and critics would agree to so extent that they don’t understand it. They don’t know either.”
That’s what I felt from the people I t at the Art Nouveau competition.
“But, um. This might sound a bit strange, but I think art is more about approaching it emotionally than understanding it. Of course, what you an by understanding is not that. Actually, because of that feeling, nowadays, there are not many works that are completely incomprehensible. Like the ones you ntioned, with just one dot on them.”
The people raised question marks again.
“What I want to say is that you don’t need to understand it. You can still approach it, even if you can’t understand it.”
I searched the internet and showed them Mark Rothko’s works.
