"Art goes on in your head"
Damien Hirst's "For the Love of God",
sold for £50,000,000 (HK$770,000,000) in Aug 2007
最近忙到爆,剛有展覽Opening,緊接想到新idea起Fotanian: Open Studio做,改晒原本進行中的work,仲有諗定d work for遲d有人嚟拍嘢,預備之後幾個exhibition嘅material同proposal...
諗到好多新idea,好多時真係想諗完就做好,skip咗中間個execute process有人代勞visualize番件實物,想法同Damien Hirst一樣:
Hirst sees the real creative act as being the conception, not the execution, and that, as the progenitor of the idea, he is therefore the artist:
"Art goes on in your head," he says. "If you said something interesting, that might be a title for a work of art and I'd write it down. Art comes from everywhere. It's your response to your surroundings. There are on-going ideas I've been working out for years, like how to make a rainbow in a gallery. I've always got a massive list of titles, of ideas for shows, and of works without titles." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Hirst)
唔同嘅係,佢一件work賣七億,搵人逐粒逐粒鑲8601粒鑽石都仲得...

關於 車
人的一生花了多少時間搬運自己的軀體?
昨晚上了第一堂駕駛課...
很小的時候,已經很喜歡車,每次買玩具也揀車;
幾歲的時侯,最喜歡的電視節目除了卡通片,就是〈體育世界〉內的賽車環節,每星期也要阿爸錄起一睇再睇,那是屬於羅達 (Niki Lauda)、畢奇 (Nelson Piquet)、普魯斯 (Alain Prost)的年代,文素 (Nigel Marshall)、冼拿 (Ayrton Senna) 尚未入流。
最初開始畫畫也就是畫賽車,可能是看得太多賽車,看著一級方程式在賽道上繞圈呈現車身的不同角度;讀幼稚園三四歲時,當其他同學仔仲畫著side view車仔,我已經在畫不同perspective的一級方程式 (沒有誇張) ,大概這就是我繪畫的基礎吧...
還記得當時姑姐講過 :「天倫咁鍾意車,肯定一到十八歲即刻學車... 」
沒想到今時今日,如非去過美國覺得有必要,也無甚意慾去學,很懶...
而家都係對電單車有興趣d。

Comicon01- Cosplayers
由Simon屋企出發,用咗三個幾四個鐘終於到San Diego,再用將近一粒鐘穿梭於各街道酒店搵位泊,先求其起間Cafe買份sandwiches做lunch,因為埸內都係好似HK一樣坐地起價... (全世界都係咁做生意... 好正常?)。但係都已然好滿足、好期待,只係搵泊位時覺得有d唔好意思,原本Simon一條友泊架bike好易搵位,但原來佢根本一d都唔在意,幕後原因係...

抵達Convention Centre,座building成條街咁大,人龍亦成條街咁長,相比HK漫畫節有過之... 好在Mark早幫我哋排定,之前仲幫我哋搵位泊車添,幕後原因又係... 我哋排個條已經係預先register咗,但都排成半粒鐘先入到... registration area間Hall *0*

成個Comicon分為幾個Hall,最大最主要都係Movie, Cartoon & Animation Hall,好多artists都會 spend幾日起度,睇到攰番酒店第日再睇。我哋只係stay幾粒鐘無可能睇得晒,時間關係(其實係Simon喜好關係)先到Movie Hall,今次先post cosplayers睇睇~

左邊玉臂,唔該借借 (點解質素可以咁參差?)
好_不妨一睇再睇
再近d,佢望過嚟喇!

呢個世界唔一定CG,唔到你唔信
換另一個角度睇睇
場內尚有大量cosplayers,其他仲有全身塗綠紮頭帶紙皮忍者龜、車胎dum肉原子緊身衣波鞋隱形女俠、一家大細全身塗藍童話裝... 可以入眼的大概只有以上幾位。

Simon's Home→ Comicon
s_simon_house_ext_s
7月26日,每年一度的Comicon,一如以往,一連五天在San Diego舉行。
US office大部分同事都會去,原本公司安排旅遊巴一齊南下,但後來太多人決定自己揸車去,所以旅遊巴取消了,其他artists亦已相約一齊、聯群結黨迫滿各人的座駕,而Simon最初諗住好Free咁做個Easy Rider,一個人騎bike去...
正當我們惆悵住要搭Metro轉火車落San Diego,好似好可憐無人理時,Simon出手! 車埋我哋一齊去,但我哋都要晨咁早五點幾由Apartment出發,先去Simon屋企集合... 都好,有得去Simon屋企...
門口旁係人咁高Napoleon Musical Poster
Production designer的家位於小山上,俯視著山下的城市。搭的士去都要成八個字,山上道路縱橫交錯,的士司機都蕩失路... -_-
Simon's house ext平平無奇,但int內有乾坤,能形容的只有: 三層樓高,露台、兩個花園、車房、一隻狗、一隻貓...
Simon話不少idea均來自呢張戰機座位

Simon,sorry for posting the pics of your home without asking for yr agree, but many people in Hong Kong studio would like to know how our production designer's home looks like : )
Thank You.

Downtown06- Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels
Bells at the Entrance
7月22日的最後一站- Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels。
一直假想著這是一座歐陸式風格的舊教堂,走過艱辛斜坡抵達後,發現跟想像相距很遠...
教堂建於山坡上,俯瞰著Hollywood Freeway,由西班牙建築師Jose Rafael Moneo設計,完成於2002年。
我沒有走入教堂各建築的室內,只在露天的公園、廣場走走,發現如果排除一些宗教元素如祭壇、十字架、雕像... 整體建築感情上更接近大會堂或廣場,可能是我的宗教意識太薄弱吧。
教堂下正是Hollywood FWY,之前好多時揸車都會經過,
就在有很多壁畫downtown那段,但沒留意旁邊有座教堂

Downtown05- Chirashi
Chirashi! 魚生飯盒~
b
到過MOCA後再在downtown走了不少地方,已經三點幾四點,惆悵住去邊度午膳。起downtown行咗一輪都無乜心水,忽然之間好想食魚生飯盒,又諗起日本村好似有好多唔錯嘅居食屋,於是連續兩日都起Little Tokyo食晏...
有無人知道寫乜
b
其實好喜歡食日本嘢,而家起香港差不多每個星期至少食一次。
起LA其實好多日本餐廳,公司附近個區誇張d差不多每條街至少一間(七十一?)。佢哋除咗傳統嘅壽司刺身外,有好多fusion類嘅菜式。聽Adam講,主要係因為以前日本人起美國開餐廳,入面只得壽司刺身等「生」食物,最初西人難以接受,所以就有fusion類菜式嘅誕生… 加州卷- California Roll應該都係咁黎~
b
店內由師傅、侍應以至客人,清一式日本人

Downtown04- MOCA
MOCA! →b
會Keep住補貼LA trip嘅相,原因係去咗好多精彩嘅地方,blog內尚未登場;二來整理相片,回味一下。番到HK,好大contrast,好掛住LA...
b
由繼續7月22日之旅開始! 旅遊雜誌重新開催!
b
到過Walt Disney Concert Hall後,便往鄰近的MOCA進發,由於想等埋一個人先一齊參觀,所以22日只有在MOCA入口外參觀。入口處已有兩件户外作品等你: Nancy Rubins的 "Chas' Stainless Steel, Mark Thompson's Airplane Parts, About 1000 Pounds of Stainless Steel Wire, Gagosian's Beverly Hills Space, at MOCA (2001/2002)" 以及Hannah Greely 的"Remainder, 2001-2006."

票價-學生US$5,成人US$8,唔平,所以7月22日無購票入去參觀,想等多個人一齊睇
Nancy Rubins的 "Chas' Stainless Steel, Mark Thompson's Airplane Parts, About 1000 Pounds of Stainless Steel Wire, Gagosian's Beverly Hills Space, at MOCA (2001/2002)"
Hannah Greely 的"Remainder, 2001-2006."
轉眼間已到8月5日,我等嗰個人終於買飛入場
LA MOCA內無想象中咁大,印象中大概有四個展館,當中最喜歡這個展覽-Poetics of the Handmade。展品全由拉丁美洲藝術家親手制作,我想根本上我還是講求手藝吧... 這樣的作品很難不喜歡...
後方大幅的是Monica Bengoa的作品,書的影象由很多木顏色繪畫的細小畫幅組成,前方的滑板及滑浪板表面為鑄滿精緻花紋的金钃,屬Dario Escobar的作品,除滑板外還有: 籃球架、乒乓球拍、棒球棍...
以牙纖構成的Installation,作品名忘記了...
前方為Marco Maggi在紙上雕刻的Installation,後方的Installation由棉花棒構成,作品名同樣忘記了...
