I used this title as this post entry it’s because this is the second time I see the Contemporary Art of Japan since the last time at Taipei MOMA’s , as Takashi Murakami impressed me the most. This exhibition also featured Yayoi Kusama, Kohei Nawa, Yoshitomo Nara, Michihira Shimabuku and other Japan Contemporary Artist’s artworks.

会用这个标题是因为这是我继上一次在台北当代馆看了"动漫双年展"之后,再次看到日本当代艺术家的原作,而村上隆是我印象最深刻的艺术家。此次展览还有奈良美智子,草间弥生等日本当代艺术家的作品,共40件。

《初恋红豆冰》

As a Malaysian, as a Malaysian Fine Art Student, I finally watch the local film《Ice Kacang Puppy Love》 today… I feel so sorry as I didn’t support them in cinema, but I’m damn busy during that hour, please forgive me.

A Niu’s songs always give me a “Nanyang Taste” impression, I’ve watched a drama series called 《The Same Blue Sky》 when I’m still a child, the drama is about a group of youngster living their life between their fish village hometown and the big city. The theme song is also from A Niu’s song named 《The Same Blue Sky》, I always remind the scene when Lee Nam Xing went to the sea with his boat. Everytime I listen to this song while I’m studying in KL, it recalls me that under the same blue sky, my families are on the same land of this nation. In this film, the blue sky we see through the old shop building, the pond in the jungle, it reveals the memoir of my childhood.

身为马来西亚人,身为念纯美术系的马来西亚人,我到今天才看了《初恋红豆冰》……这部本地制作……没支持到票房实在有点惭愧,但那时恰逢我临时抱佛脚的紧要关头,所以也没办法啦。

阿牛这个创作人给我的印象一直都洋溢着浓浓的“南洋味”,小学时我看新加坡的连续剧《同一片蓝天》,当时是打着跨国卡式制作的电视剧,讲述渔港小镇的年轻人到大城市打拼,与故乡的縴絆,主打歌是阿牛的创作《同一片蓝天》,只记得那MV里李南星驾着渔船出海的镜头,我在吉隆坡念书时每每听到这段旋律,都会让我想起在故乡的家人故友,也一起凝望着这同一片蓝天。而在这部电影里,透过旧店屋望过去的蓝天,在森林里的小池子,都细细的透露着我所能回忆起的那份属于童年的南洋回忆。

《The Expendable》看什么?


The highlight of《The Expendable》?

n months before while I am eating the rapid-cooling pop-corn and waiting the movie to screen, the first moment I saw the trailer of this film, I was thinking of is that a Movie-Editing-Idiot’s product that had been hacked and post on the screen? Until the end the film name and the director’s name exist, then I know this is really an up-coming movie. I thought when Alfred told me about this last few months ago, is it a joke?

Just went back from the screening session of 《Breakthrough》exhibition. It is a collaboration project done by us with 《We Are Malaysian Made》Short Film Non-Profit Organization.

《WAMM》is a website that aims to highlight local talent in the fields of FILM, MUSIC, THEATRE and EVENTS. Especially on the stuff you don't normally hear about through regular channels. Their vision is to become a one-stop FREE online resource website compiling updates and info from various sources into one place ; To execute community driven projects to propel and provide a platform for our local tents to showcase their stuffs ; To set up a local Directory so that you know the who’s who that you don’t normally hear or read about. Those who interested can check out on their website~

刚结束了《突破》展览中的短片播放会环节。这是我们与《我们是马来西亚人做的》(We Are Malaysian Made, WAMM)这个短片组织(网站)合作的项目。

话 说《我们是马来西亚人做的》这个网站是一个“笼络本地的短片、音乐、剧场与艺文活动,尤其是那些你在普通媒体听都没听过的东东”的网站。他们的目标是成为 一站式的免费资源汇集网站;提供本地有才华的创作人一个展出平台;设立一个让你知道谁是谁的谁的目录,也就是介绍参与的创作人啦。有兴趣的人兄可到他们的网站看看~

《艺术领域》新张致庆

《Art Domain》Opening Celebration

Should I congrats for “Re-Opened”, or should I congrats for “Moving Site”?
《Art Domain》is the site name of my previous MSN Space, I almost forgot the intention of opening that Space. Feels like I was touched by Anna’s Space, and opened my Space in a whim, posting all the nonsense of me and my friends talking about in the mamak stall onto the web dream to gain some fame? At that time quite a lot people viewed and followed myspace because of my Nonsense Talking KungFu. I abandoned it later as addicted in Friendster’s hotties… Facebook flooding… and I don’t know why the My Space suddenly slow like shit!

《艺术领域》新张致庆

Erm…到底是要写“新张致庆”,还是“乔迁致庆”?

话 说《艺术领域》是以前我的MSN Space部落客的“部名”。也忘了为什么会开始写,现在回想起来像是被诗婷学姐的部落打动,所以一时兴起也开了自己的部落客,把我们几个朋友平时喝茶爱 讲的废话翻译成第三者看得懂的语气用词po到网上。也算想赚几个知名度吧,好像因为我讲废话的功力在朋友中算中上阶层所以还蛮多人来定期浏览我的部落。后 来因为沉迷于在Friendster上找美女的照片,又因为“非死不可”的盛行,加上My Space不知何故慢得像乌龟一样,所以后来也跟My Space渐po渐远。
 

The Opening Reception of 《Breakthrough》 Art Exhibition

《Breakthrough》 is an exhibition initiated manage and curated by young artists. We started to do this show without any experiences. After putting all our effort and getting all up-coming problems solved, we bring this show to you.

《突破》是一个由艺术家自行管理与策划的展览。我们毫无经验,经过一连串的披荆斩棘终于把这个展览完成了。

二零一零年八月七日是我们的展览的开幕,我们荣幸的请到黄朱强议员来为我们的开幕说几句话。再次感谢我们的支持者,赞助人还有所有当天到场的来宾。

办一个展览是很难的,你的支持与鼓励是我们继续走下去的动力~~

为什么我觉得《盗梦空间》好看

 
Why I think that "Dream Intruder"(Chinese Translated) is a good movie. ( For those who haven’t watch, please go and watch before you watch my blog. )

为什么我觉得《盗梦空间》好看(请看过的人才看,没看过的去看了才看)

《盗梦空间》其实不是正式译名,只是在网上看到那些网友在帮片商讨论这部片该怎么翻,而这个译名是我最喜欢的,噢By The Way,这部片原名叫《Inception》。

Tanjung Heritage Award 2008

Before the day, I've been in KL. Just to go back to my college to meet my dear lecturer, Ah Kim~!!! Who had been teaching me printmaking for the last 1 year. So happy to share my honor with him, with our hometown's Dou Sha Pia~

The day, I've been to KLCC earlier, and go to look around in Kinokuniya to find some color scheme book, as I am Sensitivity Color Blinded, (am I wrong typing like this~?) and find some idea for my "system backup".about the time, met with our college's college and Miko, Chai Heng, Cin Hao and Ah Gan, who is my cousin and he had been winning two awards in this two years~~ What a wonderful result... Hope I can fight for my own reputation like him in future..

Once enter the venue, we've been waiting for about 1 hour.. to wait the VIPs.. as they are the Very Important Person because they sign the cheque hahaha. The city view is pretty good there~
















wahaha~ 25th floor of Menara Maxis, just beside KLCC

and when all the VIPs had come, the ceremony then begin.

the Chief Judge is the Chairman of the National Art Gallery~ until now I know that Tanjung Heritage award is a stately Competition~ And the prize was giving by the Chairman of Tanjung Heritage Organization Mr. Wang Siew Lan and The Minister of Art, Culture and Heritage~ When i was taking the prize he said :"Wow.. you dress nicer than me~ who's the tailor~? not bad"haha~ quite happy at that moment.

After the prize taking ceremony is a small presentation to the VIPs about our artwork.. hardly to explain in English because my English are damn poor.. thanks the Judges had wrote some statement for me and those are what I'd want to say~~ They said that they had a big discussion in my artwork.. hmm.. Encouraged, must try harder next year~~
















Met some guys here.. Mohd Ali, who is a student from UITM, he's winning the 3rd prize of Oil and Acrylic, Sze Hunt, from Alfa International College, he won the 3rd of the Watercolor category, and Wayne from MIA who had won the 3rd of Mix medium~ Finally(the last gal I know in the whole Ceremony) Helen who had won the 1st of Oil and Acrylic~

Their artworks are awesome. 3 of us (Cin Hao, Tee Sheng and me) who's graduated from Kluang CHHS AnD had won 5 prizes~ GREAT JOB~!! and our college had won 9 awards out of 18.

Hmm.. hope I'll be there next year~ see you guys~~
