With the update of the "Ugly Objects" project (click for more detail), I am going to hit the road!

The object (the dotted tie) is going to hit the road with me on the trekking journey in the Indian Himalaya area for 2 months.
The plan is to let the object transform organically during the trip along with the people I encounter and the places I experience.
I do not know what to expect from the trip and try to stay open with what's coming in my way, so as the dotted tie.

Will update once I am back! See you all soon!!

Collect2009 at the Saatchi Gallery

I was last weekend in London to visit Collect2009: The International Art Fair for Contemporary Objects re-launches in the new venue - the Saatchi Gallery, London.

Gallery Marzee was representing some of my work at the venue.

It was really emotional to see my work at this world renown contemporary art gallery.

I hope this is building a deeper bound between the world of contemporary art and contemporary objects/applied arts and thus bring more light into the field where we are working with!

thank you, Amy

I was the "guest star" on Amy Tavern's Blog

at "Auf Vorrat"

每年在慕尼黑的Schmuck周邊總是有看不完的展覽
而今年第五次策展的Jantje Fleischhut, Ineke Heerkens, Jeannette Jansen
每年試著將不同的概念與方式帶入展覽中
總是為Schmuck這今年有五十年歷史的最老現代金工展
帶進清新的層面
繼去年的Handarbeit Nord
創作者們用書本(線上PDF)的方式分享一件獨創作品的誕生過程
讓觀者有了參與的機會看見作品的背後
今年的Auf Vorrat聚集四十八位資深或新進的創作者
每人提供五件edition pieces/multiples
建起了類似倉儲的展覽
像是走進五金器材店
作品平易近人地懸掛在架上
讓人近距離觀賞把玩或是放入購物車中
不管是去年的“獨“或今年的“眾“
小火慢煎或是覆述橫陳
觀者在齟齬玩味之間
與作品交接
