Think of something profound

The other night I went to an opening of an exhibition of contemporary art from the Philippines. Great stuff by and large, there is some good work in the show, and some of it very very interesting on both a visual and conceptual level.

A highlight of the night was this.

The Radioactive Sago Project

A band bought over for the occasion.

I danced, I took pictures, I danced some more.

from the show

Well, I'm back home in Hong Kong, it's warm, skys are clear (thanks typhoon and persistent, if light, southerly winds) and I am feeling relaxed. Lots of ideas for new work and even invitations to show, so, great.

Here are a couple of images from the Wellington show. It's at Photospace and is on 'till, I think, September 15. Go have a look.

The first two images are part of the "Mixed Messages" series I have been working on. There is also a boxed set of 10 diptych that go with the series.

These I am calling the "Philosophers Stomach" and are part of my obsession with water and fish, and also a continuation of my works around the meaning of beauty.

Anyway, go along, if for nothing one of James wonderful coffees.

Installing the show

Well, I have installed most of the show.

This is the bit that took the time, but I like it, which I supose is good. Show opens tonight (New Zealand Time), so if you are in Wellington, come along!

well, finally

It has been a while, I know, but I have been trying to detach myself from the computer whenever possible lately, as I have been spending long hours working on/at it creating work for a show.

Anyway, a couple of people I know have work in a show at Osage in Kwun Tong. The show is called "Women's Work" and this image was taken during a panel discussion involving some of the exhibitors and two academics. The obvious take is the invisibility of women in art. I like to think there are other, more productive ones.

Anyway, go see the show, there is some good work in it.

This is part of one of them.

Signs and portents

Was in Shanghai recently, and was sick for the whole trip...... Did get out and do some stuff.

This is one of the things I came across.

Thursday night procrastination

Prize for guessing which New Zealand artist I'm ripping off tonight.

oh, ok, another from yesterday.

The Olympics are coming. And Hong Kong is hosting the horsey bit. You know, gymkhana, pony shows, how to make a tasty stew. Oh sorry, that last one is the French is it?

This one is on the back of a building in the Mong Kong, Yau Ma Tei. About as far removed from the horsey set as you can get.

Thursday night procrastination

OK
I'm meant to be slaving over a friends laptop making images for my next show. Instead I'm listening to Was (Not Was) and playing with some images I shot yesterday.
