Taken from here and here respectively, these photos show murals of Olympic weightlifter Jang Mi-ran that have gone up in Gwangju's Daein Market in preparation for the 2008 Gwangju Biennale. From the Joongang Ilbo:
With the 2008 Gwangju Biennale 10 days away, the Daein Traditional Market in Gwangju decorates using art from the Bokdeokbang Project. Bokdeokbang means real estate agency in Korean. The team of artists behind the project tries to fuse art with public places.
The Biennale, which I can never remember how to spell, is one of the premier attractions in Gwangju and a top art exhibit in the country, and will run from September 5th through November 9th. I consider it must-attend for people in the area. Plenty of good photos available through Naver and Flickr, including this one:

I went to the 비엔날레 last year, and it wasn't too bad. Definitely worth checking out. Might even go this year myself (since it will be my last chance to see it)
Yeah, the 2007 one was the "Design Biennale" and the 2008 one is just the ordinary Biennale. I saw the one in 2006, and it was pretty neat.
This is about a three minute walk from my place. Guess I will have to go check it out.
Notice there are no pictures of her peeing herself.
