The way you describe Iron Heaven’s is brings a very visceral response. I hadn’t thought about the shoelaces hanging from We The People, I wonder if they have a correlation with sneakers hanging from power and phone lines denoting the passing of someone - a life lived and spent, often too abruptly. I also really liked the last line of your review. It is easy to look at the strollers and think of them as used objects but viewing them as lives lost or gone awry fills me with melancholy.

H...Nari Ward’s show was very impressive to mee too. His massive installation, Amazing Grace (1993), was my favorite. I love your expression of the shape of the installation as a teardrop shape. Nari Ward's work was about mostly A sense of history, violence and loss like you said. Even though it is a totally different background and history with Korea, Interestingly, when I went to see the show with my father, his first reaction was "The song reminds me of 'Arirang.'" Arirang is the national folk song of Korea. It is very impressive that we all feel a sense of history and can get touched by the work generally without thinking about the different countries and different background.
