If you thought that North Korea has no contemporary arts going on, you’re wrrrrong.
Under the great propaganda of Mr. Kim, this is what the North Koreans think
about the United States. Not sure if some of the scenes is happening in Iraq, but it
doesn’t seems that this is occurring in N.Korea.
Anyways, stop war. Hope is fading.

Group show in Singapore this month.

Opening reception on the 4th.
Artists Will Barras (UK), Wu Yue (FR), Jahan (SG / TW), Jasper (US) and Pat Lee (CA)
hit up Above 2ND Gallery & Garage Works Ind. these two days. I was down
to the show and live painting in Garage Works Ind. last night.
I have heard Jahan and had him in one of the social websites as contact several years ago.
I can’t even remember what my login and password are now. Out of a sudden Chris from IdN
introduced a new face to me, that’s Jahan. It’s funny that finally we talked to each other
in person after more than six years. Oo…besides, Chris told me that they are setting up
a new channel and it’ll be shown in a new restaurant. Wow..man! Idn video channel!
Chris, you are the bomb! I’m so looking forward to it!
Besides, there was also a music event featuring Verbal of m-flo / Teriyaki Boyz®
and Yoon of Ambush Design® from Japan, held in VOLAR after the art show.
Didn’t drop by because of my lack of sleep..but I guess it’d be fun : )
Making incredible art out of used skate decks, HARVEST by Haroshi has been a
refreshing take on recycled artwork. Showcasing all of the collective’s work
throughout the years, they will be holding an exhibition on February 20th at the
PLSMIS Gallery in Tokyo. The show runs through February 27th, 2010
with further information available here.

For the last few days, I should have stayed at home to work on issue 4,
or at least have written a new post here. I apologize that I didn’t. The
reason I didn’t work on them because I joined a movement against constructing
a joint express rail from mainland China to Hong Kong without full inquiry to our people.
I feel sorry to our audiences for my laziness. However, if I didn’t stand out and
fight for that, I feel sorry to myself, our city and our people.
It is a bit hard to explain the whole infrastructural project. In short description,
the express rail costs ridiculously high and it could damage many people’s homes
especially to the people who live in a place called Choi Yuen Village.
There are lots of elderly who have been living there for more than 50 years.
They grow bio foods there where is one of the very few farmlands left in Hong Kong,
unfortunately, they are forced to leave their home because of common matter,
city and economic development. Check out the video you may get the concept if you want.
It’s just a shame that Hong Kong people always says there is not enough green in their city.
They love the blue sky and seek for nature. But why you have to destroy
what you have already had? Yeh sacrifice is a must, is that? So What exactly we will
need to sacrifice? Have a look here, sorry Chinese only again.
What I want to tell is, the last three nights were one of my most beautiful experiences.
Perhaps the night before has been the first time that there were so many protesters
surrounded our Legislative Council. I was touched by the spirit from most of the people who
were there, the result was not my main concern.
