Six years on, I can now correct myself in saying that the blog has entered a new phase under the premises of Studio Petite Follies. Same as before by throwing in topics related to the arts, this new platform would also provide updates on my sculptures. Below are the links to my studio’s Instagram and Facebook pages.

more obscure side of this triangular enclosure, provides an alternative point
of entry. If you have temperament like
me, you might choose this entrance instead of stepping on the pins to make a more
pronounced ingress.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

again with automatic sensor, will lead you to the final room. There, full height
and filled with warm lights, a paper globe on a mirrored surface of a white stand
is found. You take a closer look and it
is revealed that the 'globe' only makes up of the geographical extent of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">territory</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Hong Kong</st1:placename></st1:place> and nowhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

'globes' are ready to be taken home for re-assembly. Should you be ready to get out, you realize
that on this side of the room there is no sensor installed and you cannot leave
at will. You are stuck. Feeling puzzled or agitated perhaps, you look
for solutions; and at this point in time the artist equipped with closed
circuit cameras awaits your responses. Among
other options, one can yell for help, wait for others to come in then sneak
out, or waves hand towards the cameras (as I did). </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

installation tricks his viewers away from their comfort zones to confront themselves
with reactions in this closed space. In
this participatory work, the audience are encouraged to seek their own
solutions just as our city has to untangle itself from inner conflicts. Given the recent civil unrests, calls for constitutional
changes and even bickering on options of self-rule, there is an growing urgency
of people including Kwan to focus on the serious subject of <st1:place w:st="on">Hong
Kong</st1:place>'s future. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

artist - <i>Kwan devises accessible works
which he deems "necessary" by bringing perspective and clarity to the
context, underlined by a sardonic view of the vicissitudes of daily life. With the artist's unique visual language, the
curated works both old</i> [the globe]<i>
and new </i>[the installation]<i> sharply
address Hong Kong's culture, identity and future with deadpan irony, an issue
close to the hearts of many <st1:place w:st="on">Hong Kong</st1:place> people</i>.</span></span></div>

what I could gather from the audience. </span></span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Indifference to the closed space was the
mainstay while fun-seeking and selfies were other expressive responses; and
this was confirmed after chatting with the staff of the exhibition. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">High

this installation-cum-experiment, only the artist and curators know best
regarding public's responses, given the recorded data they manage to gather
subsequently. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If 'deadpan irony' of the
locals was Kwan's preoccupation, the installation manages to reveal the embarrassing
truth of the audience's participation - "a journey that leads
nowhere" (a statement he makes in the gallery's official website). </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Perhaps
this has been anticipated by Kwan, the revelation </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">is his intent.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It is believed that this is one work among others
to come in the current political crossroad <st1:place w:st="on">Hong Kong</st1:place>
is faced with. Personally speaking, due
to my leaving of this city for family reunion in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>, the work has an extra
dimension that is very close to heart. I,
never being indifferent nor without a standpoint on most issues, may be seen as
taking an exit. Admittedly, this is my action
regardless of circumstances, timely or otherwise. It is regrettable, and perhaps damnable to
many. Various thoughts will remain
restless within me for a long time to come.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The written texts on Le Corbusier (1887-1965) are vast. A recent biographical work by Nicholas Fox
Webber – <i>Le Corbusier: A Life</i> (2008),
claims that there are more than 400 architectural monographs published on the
architect, so much so that the amount of monographs on him surpasses any other
modern architect. Anecdotes and archival
materials on him may yet be surfaced considering his </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: medium;">correspondences held by individuals
are </span>plentiful. The most recent books, published in French
in April 2015 - <i>Le Corbusier, un fascism français</i>
and <i>Un Corbusier</i> even argued that the
architect had a fascist past. The
attentions to them almost hijacked the exhibition “Le Corbusier, Measure of Man”
at Centre Pompidou of the same time, which painted the humanist side of Corb.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">I do not have personal account of the architect, who would? There is only a minute story to tell. Before I
went to study architecture in Manchester, my Polish landlady said her Turkish ex-husband
used to work at Atelier Le Corbusier in Paris after WWII. With very limited resources, no trace of this
personality can be made in my part. The person, she told me, was charismatic
but fundamentally flawed in personality. Similar line of thought might be applied to
Corb and his divisive legacy on architecture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">His disdain for common concerns, especially those without modern
attributes, is seen to be his obvious handicap. Having said that, any visionary front-runner can
only earn his keep by upsetting the status-quo, deliberately or otherwise. What is certain is the consensus that Corb had
helped revolutionize modern living, if not still shaping our post-modern
environment. The tiny discussion below
will not be able to shed new light except perhaps to stir ripples after this
retrospective exhibition.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><i>L’esprit Nouveau</i> formed the basis
of collaboration between Corb and Amédée Ozenfant (painter and theorist). Right from the issue of the journal in 1920,
the articles “Sur la Plastique” and “Trois la appels à MM, les Architectes” nurtured
this partnership for a few good years. As
documented that Corb and Ozenfant co-signed many of these original essays under
the names of “A. Ozenfant et Ch. E. Jeanneret” and “Le Corbusier-Saugnier”, the
jostling for power is only a thin veil away. (Saugnier was a pseudonym for
Ozenfant.)</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">His early works of Villa Schwob (1912), Ozenfant House (1922) or even the attractive Maison
La Roche (1923) did not manage to break through in the architectural scene. It was the purist art exhibition of
1918-19 and the <i>L’esprit Nouveau</i> journals
that led to his gradual recognition in the intellectual circles in the mid-20s.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">The book - <i>Vers une Architecture</i>,
in which a few co-written essays with Ozenfant were unilaterally reworked by the
architect, managed to firmly establish his reputation. At that moment, the rift between the two personalities
intensified. </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Stories suggested that the
arrangement of exhibits at Pavillon de L’Esprit Nouveau in 1925 marked their
complete estrangement. It is anyone’s guess whether the split was a case of ideological
difference or pure jealousy. </span></div>

visualizing three dimensional space – a skill that has only made accessible to
all architects in recent years through the advent of computer graphics. In my experience but contrary to public belief,
not many architects possess such inlaid ability.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">So much so we have learned of the private villas he designed in Europe, one
of the earlier private houses Corb designed was in the Americas. The vacation house in Zapallar, Chile, was commissioned
by Jose Tomas Errazuriz for his wife Eugenia, an avid modernist. She went bankrupt before construction was even
started. In order to maintain the
project funding, it was said that the couple had to sell a few Picassos to the
architect.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Corb was a serious painter not in the demonstration of a maturing technique
but his persistent search of representations throughout his lifetime. What makes the league of Picasso and Matisse
stand out from other painters is their will to re-invent, seeking new paths that
challenge themselves whilst captivate the audiences. Corb might not rank among master painters yet
one can trace the outstanding evolution of his painting career through the
succession of novice works to purism, and from primitivism to the later
free-form individualistic style.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">It was well documented he liked to walk the beach and collect objects
off the shore if they had any appeal to him. Yet few know that might exist a
connection with Paul Valéry (1871-1945), who expressed much appreciation of the
young A. Perret – Corb’s mentor in the book <i>Eupalinos ou l’architecte</i>, 1921. </span></div>

may have been attributed partly from the French poet,</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: medium;"> </span>particularly he had made extensive notes on his copies

towers in the sense that congenial modern environment, to his disappointment, was
not achieved in Manhattan. To elaborate his view, this radical model of urban configuration of the time where work, domesticity and transportation co-existed did nothing but
exacerbate problems of modern living.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Between 1952-59, Corb embarked on his biggest urban planning realization
after decades of paper projects. Chandigarh’s time-honored north-south
orientation, tree lined boulevards, clarity of district grids among others are
still merits attributed to the architect and its original planner – Albert
Meyer. Its civic architecture, heroically modern, perhaps still wins the hearts
and minds of the well-read observers. However,
the architect’s top-down stoic vision, acontextuality and inattention to
pragmatic concerns remain problematic especially by today’s liberal standard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">If architecture or urban planning ultimately is to serve users’ needs,
Corb’s Chandigarh may succeed in attracting architectural pilgrimage or other
modernist sympathizers, but not quite the locals. The Capitol (parliament complex)
and the anonymous sectors (gridded district) fail completely to nurture
enjoyable landmarks for the people. It
is the Rock Garden situated outside the dreaded grid and ironically designed by
a civil servant moonlighting as gardener, triumphs as the most popular hang-out.</span></div>

played out by the architect. Its
popularity among the residents led to a succession of four more prototypes
built until 1965. What followed by a
flood of high-rise housing virtually in all corner of the world, designed by
less-talented architects who turned the building type into monstrosity was not
his fault.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

architect - Minnette de Silva might have been passing flings, verifications are
still pending. His long affair with Marguerite Tjader Harris after their first met
in 1930 in New York, however, had plenty of correspondences to back up. Man of Letters – the profession he stated properly
on his passport demonstrates his talent not on just drawing but writing, evidently
shown on his lyrical verses on architecture.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">However, his relationship with women was never one dimensional. To his
mother, Corb was never her favourite son, instead his elder brother Albert, a
musician, was. Besides, a minor saga between him and the
couple of Eileen Gray and Jean Badovici still haunts in the air.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">Corb apparently had developed a huge rift with
Gray, who designed and built E.1027 – an attractive modern villa of Eileen Gray
and her lover in 1929, 22 years before Corb decided to build his cabin above
their house. </span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace; font-size: large;">With close tie to Badovici,
it was said that Corb actually tried to buy E.1027 without success. Accepted by Badovici but with no consent of
his lover, Corb managed to make eight provocative murals in the house that was
deemed as vandalism by Gray. She left Badovici and never returned to the
house. An obscure film in the name of
“The Price of Desire” was specifically made on this bizarre relationship triangle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

opinions although projects never ceased to show up in the 50s and 60s. The aggravated work shadow cast a deep shadow on his ageing condition. With the permanent settlement of Pierre
Jeanneret in Chandigarh, the passing of his wife in 1957 and mother in 1960, a
more reclusive living emerged.</span><span style="font-family: "courier new";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><span style="font-size: large;">Invader has entered Hong Kong again. This time he lands with a much bigger bang, showing his works at PMQ under the sponsorship of the French Consulate. Tampering with straight anonymity that characterizes graffiti artists, he teases with the public (and his own ego) by wearing masks or appearing on photos under pixelated effects. His quasi-collaboration with authorities in participating in this solo event also stretches the boundary of graffiti art. The word “graffiti” is never mentioned in this gentrified setting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the minefield of audience-building, there lies fame on one side and betrayal of fellow comrades on the other.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

collective effort in the past to achieve present success is duly noted. But like potato and other
common staples, exemplified among many languages, the sign of rice also has the
obvious derogatory undertone of peasantry engrained within. The conflicting
identities, wittingly or otherwise, are encrypted in the simply shaped
curvature; and incidentally, a grain is seldom portrayed in isolation.</span> </span></span></div>

the Sisyphean drama of modern hygiene and waste management: to purge out of

Nadim Addas has decided to request all construction waste and litter be
produced during the installation period be retained and exhibited in a grid of
fifty-six custom made clear plastic boxes. The function of these plastic boxes
mimics the kinds of household containers used to store away the clutter of
daily life; while the exterior typology mimics the Man Cheong Street housing

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The east coast of Taiwan, preserved with plenty of arable farmlands, is a major food basket for the population. The rice
fields produce the best quality grains that impress the choosiest connoisseurs. Due to the continuous barrier of steep mountains dividing the
island, the counties along the east rely on agriculture and tourism to sustain
their economy. For urban dwellers who want to make a quick exit to the countryside, this stretch of land is their favorite
back garden to spend the weekend.</span></span></div>

ruler – Japan, in fact there is a population sector that is still attached to

that the governance by Kuomintang with the US consent had not been particularly
humane in the past.</span></span></div>

shady past, the Taipei government is honest enough, though much belated, to face the misdeed
committed after the violent suppressions of public revolts on February 28,

persecuted to death for suspicion of communist affiliations. Many of those
arrested were simply vanished without trace.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

of the Pacific Ocean might not be high on most travelers’ itineraries. The name
itself might not ring any bell for readers far afield. But for anyone in
possession of a smart-phone, such as the “fruit machine”, it is likely that
some of the circuits within are designed and made in Taiwan. To expand on the list, bicycles and
tennis rackets have long been popular export items in the world. A recent craze,
somewhat controversial, emerged from this country is canned nitrous oxide, or laughing
gas which may be filling parties in replacement of drugs one day.</span></span></div>

the recent history of Taiwan than the National Palace Museum in Taipei. In the

the Forbidden City, Beijing to evade from the invading Japanese

completed in October 2013, is a magnet for visitors due to the architecture
itself. Despite the unquestioned qualities, many of its exhibits including the Rodins

Should a museum be designed as a container that houses art, or an art piece that might
outshine its content? Since this Ando building has a formidable presence inside
out, it is arguable that art viewing here plays second fiddle in many respects.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

seems to have been kept in a gigantic time warp for decades. Its “federation style”
architecture, not to be seen except in film settings, is a unique blend of
ornaments fusing east and west. The charming facades along major streets, though
worn at places, are shuffled with interesting old-time traders and craftsmen.</span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The lofty rooms of Cattle Depot Artist Village looked almost empty. There was no eye-catching exhibit guarding at the entrance, nor
was there any lavish piece anchoring at the centre; and down were all the
spotlights that one might suspect to have arrived at the wrong time. With the
T-shirt hung from the wall, the open parasol, the beach chair, the stand-alone
bucket, or the prefab guardhouse strategically arranged, one began to discern
that these unassuming objects were art installations – or ‘settings’ according
to the artist. Together with the micro-situational video works and canvases of blurred
imageries, Lee Kit spelt out his participation in the 2013 Venice Biennale on
home turf under the new title of ‘You.’. Incidentally, somewhat ponderous but
consistent with Lee’s reflective programme, ‘You(you).’ was the title of his
entry at the biennale.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Under the dramatic truss roofs of the former slaughterhouse, art was carefully
staged and its materiality was suppressed to attain a symbolic state of non-presence.
This is the dilemma for conceptual artists who engage in minimal visual expressions,
knowing at core that by reducing their works to unrecognizable anonymity the identity of an
artist ceases to exist. Hence for the most reduced form of paintings by Yves
Klein, so to say, there are the barest frames and canvases to exist; for any Beckettian
theatre, there is the performer(s) with or without the stage; and for the
ambient music of Brian Eno, there are yet detectable sonorities however close
to silence.</span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In ‘You.’, through the array of self-effacing settings,
the artist took to the viewers’ psychological automatism to experience their
visits and to respond instinctively without direction from the mind. For this
reason, there were no titles for all individual pieces to convey any specific messages;
thus for Lee, visual tectonics were reduced to essentials and interventions to audiences’
responses were minimized. For meditations on ordinary presence, one might even
take the old fire extinguisher on the wall as an inspiration for personal revisitation.
The idea that everything is art and nothing is art - heralded by Duchamp
through Fountain 1917, is reinterpreted by Lee a century later.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In causal terms, time is the order of duration and
duration supposes time. The quality of the responses from audiences, however indeterministic,
is built upon acquired experiences. The spirit of Lee’s programme lay on the open-ended
interactions between the artist and viewer. Admittedly, there was nothing
esoteric among the exhibits though plenty of tantalizing ambiguities were
mapped out for interpretations. But there might be gaps where communications
break down and the audiences including my wife hit a blank wall. Personally, I
had moments of irritation from the equivocation of his settings. His texts, with
a literacy that carried meagre inspiration, make reading an unpalatable act for
avid readers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">There exists a tendency to distill the representation
in art, thinking that the less the narrative contents, the purer the concept
will remain in a work. It is tempting to equate verses in writings with
expressions in visual art and arrive at the conclusion that more is excess. The
same rationale applies to the inclination to avoid specifics. From what had
been learned in the 1960s-70s that the New Ink Painting Movement in Hong Kong had grown into
believing that the historicist shackles must be broken. A liberation from
ethnic adherence was in earnest and universal values, understandable to all, could
be achieved. This self-fulfilling group of artists immersed
themselves into subjects of cosmic pondering, religious refuge and other
abstract reveries. Their mutual influences gradually developed into an upward,
or downward if you like, spiral of reductionism; and as such an inflated
nothingness leading to a total detachment from audiences was resulted.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It is inconclusive to suggest that this development
of ink art had its inspiration from the minimalist art that thrived in the west
of the same time. Further afield in our own time, both movements of then have
their point of reference to Martin Creed who stretches the blandness of
anything and everything in the visual world to extremes. His contributions to contemporary art, however controversial, at least can be commended on merits of honesty and
self-mockery. In unembarrassing terms, he keeps telling everyone that he doesn’t
know what people like in his works and “don’t know”s are invariably his favorite
answers to questions*. To understand his phenomenal success, it might require extraordinary
objectivity in order to bring to light the ridicules he produces that mirror
our everyday lives. (In interviews, he always repeats that he doesn't know if
he is an artist; hence it is fair to use other terms than ‘artwork’ to describe
his creations.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In ‘You.’, Lee’s carefully constructed art has an
appeal of freshness among contemporary excess – that is an anticipated result. His
works of intended ordinariness or even blandness, share much in common with
Creed’s. The difference between them may be one of ascetic positivity versus playful
wickedness. On Lee, it may be tempted to say that, given the melancholic traits
of his works, a certain Stendhal syndrome permeates among thinkers. In contrast
and less guarded in manners, there are plenty of nauseating fun with the
British artist that cannot be separated from his absurd looking works. As
always, one has to examine the artist’s personality in order to understand his
or her works. It is this honesty, however brutal it might be, one yearns from
Lee.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The restraint in elaboration on works and written
narratives can certainly keep Lee Kit in the safe zone. So far so good. But
like the <i>liu-bai</i> effect (lit. leaving
blank) in ink paintings, the clear-cut visual imageries and meta-physical inclinations,
however enticing they can be, may lead to serious withdrawal consequences from
audiences due to a lack of connectivity. It is more acute when the poise for serious
thinking by artists becomes predictable. Before Lee is pushing the limit of open
discourses in future, I hope he can tell us more of himself and through his
works than otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

and 21<sup>st</sup> century Japanese design is undisputed, both in the East
Asia region and globally. As such, design from Japan will necessarily assume an
important place in M+’s design collection. Shiro Kuramata (1934-91) was
regarded as the most influential and widely-known Japanese furniture and
interior designer of the late 20<sup>th</sup> century. Out of more than one
hundred architecture interiors designed by Shiro Kuramata, only three still
exist today and the work in question is one of them. The acquisition of
“Kiyotomo Sushi Bar” is an important milestone for M+ in collecting and
studying Asian designs.”</span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="color: #073763;">#1</span><span style="color: #002060; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Shiro Kuramata was a member of the Memphis
Group, which influenced much of his industrial design approach in the 1980s.
His furniture pieces are visually striking and those with limited production
are still sought after in auctions. Many design museums are eager to keep them
as novel gems. Kuramata’s works like the ones by Michael Graves or Ettore
Sottsass, expanding possibilities whilst representing a post-modern movement of
reactionary forces against functionalist dogmas, are radiance in the spectrum
of design fads of recent times.</span></span></div>

was Oriental Daily which made headlines by revealing that the museum committee had
decided to transplant Kiyotomo Sushi Bar in Hong Kong as a major permanent
exhibit, come M+’s opening in 2017. The Tokyo restaurant had already ceased
business in recent years and the price tag of fifteen million HKD is definitely
the biggest cheque the owner receives in its entire history of operation. The
museum is expected to dish out another two million at least for its ‘take-away’
operation of dismantling, shipping and re-assembly. Kuramata probably had never
imagined such outcome, nor did we. Between gasps of breath, there are a few
questions we’d like to throw in.</span></span></span></div>

interior project, I tried very hard to find something, or anything, on it in

stretching my ability), the result was dismal. Even Kuramata’s official website

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The precedence of re-locating interiors to
become museum pieces is not unheard of. For historical collections, they are
plentiful and citing is unnecessary. For interests in mid-century works, the
interiors are seldom separated from the shells that contain them. The interior
of Finn Juhl’s house preserved for appreciation makes sense when the building that
houses it is intact, same case for the Shröder’s House. The reason being so arranged,
their complementary existence would be at a lost otherwise.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Museum makes up the drawbacks by devoting itself to the theme of domestic
designs of the past 400 years. The series of historical interiors transplanted
in the Met achieves similar effect. But a recent interior exhibit preserved out of context
and in isolation is a challenge to the audiences and curators alike. With
limited references to other contemporary paradigms in the museum, what meaning can the sushi
bar convey to our city?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">When the interior is taken down and re-constructed
in M+, there are a series of issues to be considered. Assuming that every piece
of the finished materials is salvaged and preserved in a meticulous manner,
otherwise the business of buying the restaurant fitting-out as a ‘genuine
article’ would be pointless. After all, the museum opines that the work is
ranked among the “most important and major work of art”</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">#4</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">. As such, meddling
with its authenticity is profanity to the curators. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">It is therefore expected that the water
stains on the skirting, the worn-off timber veneer on the walls, the chipped
granite flooring and every bit of scratch mark anywhere would be faithfully re-assembled
to match its existing conditions in Tokyo. Is it feasible in reality? Will
there be new and unsightly sealant joints or finishes deviating from the
originals? These are some of the nagging questions. Unlike ancient interior
preservations we are accustomed to, the transposition of this aged contemporary
interior might transcend its re-birth with cryptic nuances.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Having absorbed on this mental picture, the
restaurant interior faithfully re-constructed is still not the restaurant envisaged.
The absence of waiting staff, food and tableware would render this
re-construction incomplete and sterile in appearance. Would we see barrier
ropes and people freely roam about in this tiny space of alternative spectacle?

collection is daunting, considering the ambitious museum has a net area of 26000
sq m exhibition space to start with. As far as information made public, this building
of visual culture has amassed a variety of visual art, moving images,
architectural materials, popular designs, and the list is expending. </span><span lang="EN-US">Eschewed

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The reason is simple: Art and design serve
different needs in a society, any attempt to blur the two would be detrimental
to all. Its damage is gradual but caustic, reverting the course is extremely difficult.
To illustrate with examples, just imagine a pair of trainers is conceived like an artwork to the extent that the basic performances are compromised. Or any hyped-up
poster that is no better than a picture illustration is celebrated along with
serious art.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

return. Populist intents embraced by M+ are no substitute for lax acquisition
policies. Hence, an art museum proper would not incorporate a design gallery and a
house of fine art should not mix with applied arts. Before all of us are
confused, would M+ let us know what you are up to? Is this ‘plus’ a liberal inclusion
of visual culture – a boundary-free confine that defies calls for focus, or a
leverage of authority to squander on public coffers?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

but apologized on what was read on this photograph, knowing little prior to the release of shutters that the reactions
were beyond stylistic measures. Bjarne Melgaard – the designer of the chair,
perhaps benefits the most on the trial by public opinion. The storm of
criticism has overshadowed Melgaard’s work on one score, that is, the work
itself adds little to the original statement by Allen Jones in 1969.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

left unseated no matter how strong the temptation. One could say that the power
of this “artwork” – for lack of a better word, is when this hot seat is vacant and
waiting to be filled in. In other words, it is a booby trap in disguise. With
this frame of mind, no matter who suggested the posture, Zhukova had herself to
blame. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

sexualization does not shed much light on the subject of female sexuality, not
least from the woman’s point of view. For this reason, I would rather indulge
on the prickly sidekick from “Consumer you; Consumer me” – a work by Labay
Eyong (</span>林介文<span lang="EN-US">) that
was shown recently at the City Hall.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: large;">On our agenda of female
sexuality, it would be wise as a start to leave the platform for the artist to
relay her story. “Consumer products are actually part of ourselves [</span><i><span style="font-size: large;">sic</span></i><span style="font-size: large;">]. When people consume, they are
actually consuming themselves at the same time. It might be a simple
merchandise, but it nonetheless has its origin from nature – that is, paper
rolls originate from trees and our houses originate from earth.”</span><i>#1</i></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Made with
toilet paper rolls, the work as a piece of goods on the much discussed topic of
consumer society is noted. One might be more engaged by her bemusing
expressions and the exaggerated boobies (if you agree to the funny appearance) popped
out from her garment – something that tantalizes men and possesses women all
the same. It is the duality of significations of the work that captivates me.</span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Just
as most men would fantasize on full-bosomed female, women would almost do
anything to have their bust reshaped. From Eyong’s absorbing expressions, one
can detect yearnings marred with trepidations that pester her. There is an intrinsic
readiness in us to consume and be consumed, a tug-of-war that both sexes are
born to play.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This is a ready-made laboratory to measure claustrophobic symptoms. Paranoid receded, one still hardly finds any room to negotiate a clear path. Watching the giant bubbles levitated in mid-air, the eye feels like an endoscope lens in an internal organ, waiting to see the unexpected ahead. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The interactive glow and pulsating chimes add up to the installation but not much more than dressing-up on a powerful concept. The spectacle, with a touch of pre-language or even prenatal existence, offers a strong re-examination of our very being. Primeval sense of space, something that shapes human behaviours, is tested on location. Pure sensation dominates all reactions including the intellect. Indeed, our basic responses are governed by the immediate environment, be it the climate or any specific call of occasion. There is no reason to suppress the senses.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">At either end of “100 Queues”, there is nothing. Is Gupta’s very point pointlessness?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">If teamLab’s set-up is essentially a joyride, Shilpa Gupta’s gear work of the mundane phenomenon is never meant to be a pleasure to fathom. Constructed as a long queue of mechanical movements that never gets anywhere, Gupta’s work is an inspiration to reflect on the elusive human condition of anticipation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Its unkempt manifestation takes time to fall for just as it requires much patience to deduce the morals of being part of the queue. And in full contrast to teamLab’s work, even the audio – dreary monotonous clicking seems to be designed to annoy rather than to please.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The everyday event of queuing is no more different in the Indian Sub-Continent than anywhere in the world. Waiting can take many forms of presence, whether they exist in the real world or in cyberspace, they are tangible or intangible. This is what drives human. To live without longing or anticipation is living at a dead-end.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Rooted from the dissatisfaction with ‘painting stops upon completion’, the artist creates an art form that integrates painting with video – “showing pictures”. The video documents the painting all over the wall and on the floor frame by frame by stop-motion photography. It is then synchronized and displayed in the form of film installation, as if giving the painting a second life.#<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

Sounds of the vibrating wired fencing are collected by contact microphone while those of the running Shenzhen River by hydrophones. They are then rearranged into compositions, and re-transcribed into graphical notations. Through sound art, we can hear the sounds we missed out amid hustle and bustle and re-discover the potential of the sense of hearing.#<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

From a ‘surface’ to a ‘cube’. From ‘nothingness’ to ‘existence’. The transit of matters circulates infinitely in this work.#<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"> If Ansel Adams is a guardian of American landscapes, Jeanloup Seiff a mirror of French celebrities,
Araki Nobuyoshi an alter-ego of Japanese psyche, Chang Chao-Tang (1943- ) is a
raconteur of social, cultural and political changes in modern Taiwan.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Courier New';"><span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;"> Of all the works in Chang's retrospective show, personally I found the series titled ‘Taiwan – And then
Nuclear Disaster…’ the most riveting. The images touch the nerves of
the local as much as international audiences including me. The flash point is that the
country is building its seventh nuclear reactor amid fierce oppositions. With
Fukushima disaster still unresolved in Japan, the island is at the verge of
shelving the unfinished project of Lungmen (construction started in 2009) altogether. A
national referendum is scheduled for debate in parliament.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of miles away in India, there is a total of 22 nuclear reactors including the latest one in Tamil Nadu – the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant commissioned in July
2013 despite heavy protests from pressure groups and delays of up to six years.
This is where the poem by Jayadevan recited above plays a part in the unprecedented
‘no nukes’ campaign.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

are scheduled to be commissioned in 2020. Unlike the two countries mentioned, public attentions here are rare

particular issue to address is the weathering property of the work. The
extensive horizontal surfaces would behave as dust collectors that gather unbearable stains.
On top of this, the timber boxes (indeed it is what they are made of!) are

the common sense of the viewers is this steel fabrication, which is loaded with an ‘added

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The search of a Chinese tenet has
always been a constant preoccupation by local artists. The hybrid-looking
creature was one of the subjects from which inspiration and meaning were sought
by the sculptor. Those were the times in the 1980s that cosmic abstraction was
fashionable and symbolic of serious thinking. Cheung’s oeuvre embedded with obscure
signifiers sometimes still ignites a spark on occasions like the above. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the organizers of the sculpture garden to switch to a mindset of adulation.
The response was a colonnaded seating space, slightly claustrophobic in space
and hoarded away from everything in sight. However the VIP treatment proves to
be detrimental in attracting the mass public and most visitors simply don’t
know it exists at all. Loathing is the mainstay in locus.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The primitive percher makes pleasant
contrast against the sophisticated surrounding. The canonical use of bronze is
just as powerful as any new medium. The
Watcher is among the rare subversive works one can find in any business
premises in any city, and the tolerance displayed is worth a compliment to the patron – the Swire Group. Its unusual demeanour and hawk eyes deserve a
pause for thought from on-lookers.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Made with timber and painted sensibly in

torturous work that does not inspire much even after the title is

partly indoor, partly outdoor and to be separated by the glass of a shopping

to be related to the fire codes. Anyway a horse that lies on the ground is
hardly good omen. The work built-in with seating, is rightly voted to be
unpopular with the public as it is left idling most of the time.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

work, taking away the hard edges, is more direct on the theme of sexuality. More
explicit than the title suggests, two entities are caught in the act of copulation.
Though angular in shape, the two have a soft aura that connects with the fresh
and blood of individuals, perhaps due to their glow and the surrounding lush vegetation. The
work, sophisticatedly composed and made at the time, has an appeal of innocence
like sex itself with no string attached.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

1997, it was moved from various sojourns before settled in the University of
Hong Kong in 1998. The shaft, wrapped up of figures, can be attributed to the Nordic expression of humanity through postures. The
original fair concrete had been painted to follow the human rights organization
– The Orange Colour set up by Galschiot himself.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The glistering
dash of leaves is another attempt by Van in his long quest of regional identity.
Like most of his works, there are insertions of formal meaning on his subjects represented. The bamboo leaves carry the well-wishes for the young
guns, who study art related subjects in the campus. Same case as the gripping
hands, the translation here has swayed the wrong direction.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The
Baptist University at which the work is located requires extra efforts to
demonstrate their commitment on arts. The piece is still a loner since the sculpture garden was launched in 2010. Besides, nowhere is any attribution for the work to be found. This is hardly a role-model to follow for the
visual arts and media departments nearby.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #444444;">A
cultural chasm may be hard to bridge; and the statement from Saatchi Gallery’s
website is perplexing to say the least: </span><i><span style="color: #660000;">‘In
Chinese custom, rocks and water are the two most important five elements, and
through the sculpture’s reflective surface, Zhan combines both in a spiritual
emblem, merging their associative connotations of stability, prosperity and
wealth.’</span></i><span style="color: #444444;"> Whooh!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">A
no-nonsense clarification attempted is as follows: Artificial rocks (better
translated as Scholar Rocks personally) are particular rock types that have the
visual similitude with forms of nature, be it a mountain, cave, or gorge. They are displayed
at gardens, courtyards or even at studies for viewer’s mental connection with
mother earth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Sadly
this particular one does not possess any of the above characteristics. Even to
the trained eyes, this steel rock is anything but a bemusing lump with little
appeal. I have seen better variations of Zhang’s steel rocks from which the
intent of iconoclasm is better transcribed. Having said that, there is nothing
new or more powerful than what Jeff Koons had done years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

in itself is no crime, unless the reader is a Marxist. It is how religion is practiced

subject; or maybe he deliberately retains a vista of benevolence on Buddha for
viewers to attain enlightenment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">These four pieces successfully
draw our emotions and other senses. Personally I had moments of enjoying these
spectacles. I would be stone-hearted to dismiss the rubber duck completely, so
to say. This is not an opportunity to denounce their existence. In my opinion,
they are not works of art because they are incapable of stimulating the
intellect and advancing the spirit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">However these works unwittingly
confuse the public into treating them as public art. Their disseminating presences,
always managing to attract audiences through their pleasant appearances,
undermine the way we look at artworks. In time, it becomes the setting criterion
in the public sub-conscious of art appreciation. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">In a market-driven society today,
art cannot evade from the commercial currents. Art practitioners may even be succumbed
to take the easy option of crowd-pleasing and produce quasi public art. There
might be those who are taken to believe that this is the way to communicate with audiences. In a long run, the quality of art takes a beating and we are on a downward spiral.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">From political
critique to satire on human frailties in the past few years, Yin Zhao-yang
(1970 - ) has come full circle to tackle one of the essential subjects of
painting, i.e. the representation of landscape.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Of the fifteen
canvases in the gallery, some of them massive, but all of them were powerful
display of vitality. Whether the heartfelt attentions are on the viscous layering of
oils, delivery of brush strokes, richness of colours, they represent a tour de force
of oil painting. There is a technical brilliance that is seldom seen on
canvases these days. (With great shame, “technical brilliance” is sidelined none
so ominously among all other arts than in painting.)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">This
series of oils under the exhibition title of ‘Descend the Mountain’ might lend to thoughts ascribing to literati paintings of the classical age(s) when painters
eschewed politics and sought refuge in raw nature. With this cast of mind, the stage-set
of obfuscation and pedantry contrived in the official description below would be better off buried: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #134f5c;">“With Yin Zhao-yang, however, his veiled way
of expression comes from his keen insight into the deep-rooted “crisis of statement”
in which ”modern art” is trapped, an “expression crisis” that features nihility
in face of myriads of critical perspectives. It is his artistic strategy
towards the new world in the wake of ”the Financial Crisis” as well…*</span><span style="color: #444444;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></i></div>
