The American Scene at British Museum
I went to "British" Museum Lates last night to celebrate "American" Independent Day.
There were 2 people explaining the different techniques of making prints in the current exhibition "The American Scene". It was pretty cool the know the differeces between those techniques and how to create different styles.

fresh faced and wild eyed 08 at The Photographers' Gallery

I went to The Photographers' Gallery yesterday. Here are two serials I like.

Steve Schofield www.steveschofield.co.uk
My practice is concerned with the hyper-real. I reflect the desire of my sitters to create a utopian existence based on their obsessions and hobbies, each influenced by popular culture. By photographing science-fiction costumers in their own homes in Britain, I have sought to show how, through this strange sub-cultural world of fandom, like-minded people establish a fictional existence to escape the everyday.
Alex Sandwell Kliszynski www.ask-art.net
My work explores the idea of the human/doll composite. It is intended as a satirical take on the pornographic image, posing questions about desire and fantasy and their representation in mainstream post-feminist culture. I draw attention to the objectification of the body and, at the same time, the disassociation between the commercialised male sexual fantasy and everyday experience of intimate relationships.

Living With Things
Living With Things is a series of seven everyday objects, modified in their functionality. They explore how and to what degree an object can be subjectified by a person's imagination and emotions, and how intimate moments can be created between a human and an object. Through using the objects you create a symbiotic relationship with them; they need you as much as you need them. The project is about enhancing everyday life in poetic rather than rational ways, creating moments that make you stop and consider. The project has also been documented photographically. These photographs search for the aforementioned moments – where, when and how they take place – and then captures them. The objects and photography together encourage people to explore a different view of the world, of everyday life and therefore themselves. It won't change the world, but may alter our perception of it, and perhaps open up new ways of looking at things we often take for granted.

bye-bye blackboard
Einstein / Oxford / 1931
Blackboards were wiped after use: they were meant for immediate communication, not for record. Even as they were being used, their messages were continuously revised, erased and renewed.
I still remember when I was studying at high school, I copied down everything which teachers wrote on blackboard. It's more like a text book rather than "communication tool". There were only 2 occasions I would touch a blackbroad, one was answering questions which teachers wrote on the blackboard, the other was erasing and cleaning it after a class.
However, blackboard represent a professional image to people. When people see a photo of a person stand in front of a blackboard, it naturally presents the person as a academician or scholar.
It is because people tend to use objects to symbolize or express who they are, or we create a stereotype in our mind?
How about a criminal standing in front of a blackboard?

Un chien andalou
PART ONE
PART TWO
I went to see Dali's exhibition at Tate Modern with friends.
We all know he was an important surrealism artist but the exhibit focus on Dali and his films.
In personal, I like the dream part in Spellbound (1945) which is a film Dali collaborate with Alfred Hitchcock and a Disney movie Destino (1946) (but I have no clue why there was a baseball man in the animation, it ruined the whole scene).
可是為啥我放"Un chien andalou"而不是上面提到了影片
因為開場白"once upon a time" 這幾個字瞬間就把這部短片故事化
所以不管再怎樣怪異的場景或事件 人們接受的程度變高了
或許因為他們覺得這只是故事(fairy tale)而已
台灣的政客或許都應該在他們的屁話前加上"once upon a time"
