NOTE

Ecology of Butterflies Most adult butterflies are active during the day but some have varying behavior according to their type. Fritillary or swallowtail butterflies fly around sunny places, and satyr flies around forests. Then, there are the green hairstreak butterflies flying around twigs. Swallowtail butterflies are known to follow a specific path on a sunny day. So specimen collectors catch them by waiting for them around the corner of their path. The butterfly's behavior is like this because

they feel polarized lights and reflections from tree leaves they encounter on their path.

CURATOR'S CHOICE

Kwak Duck-Jun's 'Insignificance97' Kwak Duck-Jun(1937~) is a 2nd generation Korean-Japanese artist, whose paintings always have traces of his two identities, both of which mark him as an outsider either in Korea or in Japan. He expresses the relationship between society and individuals, and the difference between information and recognition in his w orks using diverse media and objects. His series titled 'Insignificance' resembles either the artist himself, who seems to be repeatedly whispering to himself that the world is insignificant, or us, our own selves.
