Baekjeong art installation: Famed Korean BBQ chain Baekjeong will team up with legendary South Korean musician DJ Koo of K-pop duo CLON and graffiti artist Koma for a live art installation at Baekjeong’s Lynnwood location in Washington state. The event will take place on Friday and Saturday this weekend from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. They will also have a daily art giveaway where four guests may win an art piece from Koo and Koma. Koo and Koma shared that that they can marry the senses and close relationship between food and art with the project. They also added in a joint statement to NextShark, "Rather than being cloistered in a studio with little or no feedback, here we can engage with Baekjeong customers and receive instant feedback and witness instant emotional reactions during the creation process. These kinds of emotional responses and feedback will help influence the final art mural."
