Went to stitch exhibition in DNM. The following are some outstanding pieces in the exhibition which I found more interesting. It had a little boy dressed up like stitch. I think he’s the cutest!

Went to this exhibition today. Really saw some nice contemporary artworks by these 5 UK based artists. Don’t miss out the chance to see their works, and if you go don’t forget to check out David Bray’s works. I’m pretty sure you won’t. I don’t know a whole lot about his background, but he’s really a damn cool artist.

I went to KRAZY yesterday. KRAZY is a big summer show in Vancouver which brings contemporary art together with comics, graphic novels, manga, computer/video games, animated cartoons and anime. There were only a few things I was kind of familiar with, and the rest were pretty new to me. It is definitely a good opportunity to bring outsiders into the world of comics. It’s a good show and well worth your time.
Found some interesting illustrations by Chris Ware in the exhibition. He created a fantastic series of four different covers and an online comic for The New Yorker Magazine in 2006.

I didn’t expect the exhibition was that huge. I spent almost two hours in there with my friend, but there wasn’t enough time for us to look at the details of some works. We kinda had to skim through a lot of them, but the good thing was we managed to look at every single piece. There were around 1000pcs of artworks from all over the world, and they were great and inspiring.

SMALL PLANET by Naoki Honjo
Harbour City’s Gallery
May 1-18, 2008
Naoki Honjo, a Japanese contemporary photographer, using a tilt-shift lens shooting from helicopters or skyscrapers which blurring the majority of the captured environment. Such technique also maximizes full control over the depth-of-field of the photos and gives the viewers a sense of falseness. Honjo aims to express a sense of falseness about the environments we live in. They look very much like miniature sets and very fun to look at.

CHANEL CONTEMPORARY ART CONTAINER
BY ZAHA HADID
Will book the tickets for MOBILE ART soon. On March 29, I’ll have an unique experience, combining architecture, art, sound creation and fashion in this futuristic pavilion.
MOBILE ART is a traveling exhibition devised as a three-dimensional film and presented in a futuristic pavilion specially created by the architect Zaha Hadid.
The creative concept of MOBILE ART is the result of an aesthetic experiment conducted over the last two years in which the values and visual language of CHANEL confronted those of some twenty contemporary artists from all geographic and generational origins.
Invited to visit Mademoiselle Chanel’s Parisian apartment, rue Cambon, and the workshops where the CHANEL handbags are made, these artists were given complete freedom to create artworks inspired by the elements that create the identity of CHANEL’s emblematic accessory, the quilted bag.
All means of expression currently being used in contemporary art will be represented: installation, sculpture, photography, video, sound etc…
MOBILE ART is not so much an exhibition to be visited as a landscape to wander through in a completely new way: to experience the artists’ installations, visitors equipped with a MP3 player must let themselves be guided mentally and physically by a soundtrack created by the label “Soundwalk” in collaboration with each of the artists. This soundtrack mixes the original music of a diverse range of artists with voice and ambient sound effects.
MOBILE ART is above all a new form of artistic expression, an unique experience, combining architecture, art, sound creation and fashion.
