Angkor – Exhibit at ACM

When you can’t be at the real place … a museum exhibit is most welcome.

There is always something to be thankful for. And living in a beautiful convenient city like this is one of them.

Joseon Korea: ACM Exhibition

Quiet and peaceful Saturdays filled with walks through relatively silent museums – the best kind.

I like him already.

One of the stories of my life.

Primevera 2015

With a start, I realise we are in the second last month of the year.

Be in the moment.

Be in the moment.

Be in the moment.

One way to be in the moment, to go back to ourselves, to examine how we look at the world as an extension of our inner landscape, is to Look at Art.

 

Primavera 2014

“This Primavera is but a small selection of young Australian artists making wonderful work driven by an endless intelligence and deep curiosity. I am ever grateful for their inspiration and resilience.”

If The World Changed (@Art Museum)

“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.”

– Ernst Fischer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I Imagine

 

A colleague and I were packing some stuff the other day, leaving behind a huge empty box on the floor.

“You know,” I reminisced, ” When we were younger, my brother and I could entertain ourselves for hours with boxes like these.”

“What? Really?”

“Yeah, we’d pretend it was a huge ship, crawl inside, and start imagining our travels.”

 

Viewing this exhibition at the Jendela Gallery also brought back more memories of childhood days, when video games were a luxury, afternoons of arts and crafts were bliss, and nothing was more powerful than the imagination our mind.

Is it any wonder that children of today seem less imaginative than before, because countless apps and video games are already doing the imagining for them?

Just another reason why the Arts are necessary in such a system and environment.

Weight of History

“Weight of History” exhibit at the Art Museum.

A thought-provoking journey –

Makes one ponder about what makes us what we are.

As burdensome as “weight” sounds,

Would we be less anchored without it?
