To Chiang Mai and back, STILL BREATHING



Jennifer and me just went to Chiang Mai last week. It has been a rather eventful trip.

Firstly, we met up with some of our friends (SOK SAK, ol' Switch media, Uthit) over there and caught up with what they are doing. Next, we attended the documenta 12 (Thailand) editorial meeting and visited The Land Foundation.

A good four days. Then we rushed back with lots of work to do for our upcoming exhibition and a head full of 'ideas'. :)

When we returned to Singapore, we attended the documenta 12 editorial meeting at the Substation. That was also good for us since, we were fortunate to be able to see both symposiums and we got a chance to compare our personal notes. (Maybe the notes will be published in Art Singapore later on.)

Now that the whole symposium is over, we back to preparing for the upcoming activities at p-10.

LAO YU SENG on friday @ p-10 as it will be hosting ENCOUNTERS 08: COM & COM.

ALL INVITED. Time of the year to toss up some luck.

Next will be I M BREATHER, an exhibition of works by Jeremy Hiah.

sort out accounts!

Yeah, one of my most love-hate things. Sorrting out the p-10 accounts and balancing monies.

Such a drag -- at first. Then at the middle of it, it feels so rewarding because you get things in place. Now, I think it looks quite organised!

More updates later!

So, we got a 10 day pill which feeds our fishes for 10 days.

Jennifer and me has been hanging out in Perth, working and resting. Will be back in the new year... and all ready to go on.

[0]Davis Freeberg submitted linkage to a short story talking about
[1]Skypecasting Television. Essentially using Skype and Yahoo Messenger
to rebroadcast video to the internet. While it isn't a PVR, it
circumvents the regionally oriented programming that prevents the UK from
watching our "Football" or us from getting Dr Who. It also raises yet
another battlefront the content owners will need to contend with in the
upcoming years.

Dance @ The Hub

Chanced upon this little get-together.
Interesting spectacle. I am not sure what this is but there were about 50 people dancing to 'pop' music but dancing like Line dancing style.
People would watch and then some might join in or laugh along at the sight.

Also this was a diverse age group!(young and middle-age group)

I really liked how the group of people interpreted Ng Eng Teng's public sculpture. The base of the sculpture became a mini-platform to hold bags and offer a space to sit on. This is very inventive way of using the art.
