Milan Expressing Itself

Wandering around Milan, enjoying what the city shows you.

The Duomo, never a dull sight.

Europe loves graffiti and Milan is full of fun messages. Tons of underground stickers. Glad Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks is still worthy of subversion.

Nike, getting the augmentation.

Pink Barbie font. Sending up more brands, Burger King and Pepsi.

Back to architecture, rehabbing some Fascist era buildings. Grand. Mean.

The National Museum of Korean Contemporary History, Part One

A history museum can be fun. A contemporary history museum can be funky. Who doesn't want to see something you threw out a decade ago is now under glass? Seoul's Contemporary History Museum has a nice mix of significant and silly. Time to soak it all in.

The triumph of consumer electronics goods production!

Korean war objects. Leatherneck magazine. Kind of like Mad magazine for the Marines? C-Rations, opened for your viewing displeasure.

The triumph of consumer automobile production! All hail the 1982 baby blue Hyundai Pony 1.

Textile manufacturing was big in the contemporary history of Korea. All you need is a sewing machine and a pattern. And hope the pattern is for Nike shoes that will be exported around the world.

Moving from contemporary to yesterday. A nice display on recent gay, LQBT progress.

Good Graffiti In Florence

So many cities in Europe, so much graffiti. Just do a search on this blog for many examples of the fun stuff.

In Florence, some serious messaging was scrawled about.

In this post 9/11 world, who's watching you?

Speaking of 9/11, a critique and a rebuke.

Re-making an Uffizi classic.

Storm troopers, taking corporate jobs.

Surveillance man, blowing his top to the futility of it all?
