blog assignment 1.3

In 2nd Feb,2013, I had visited Song Dong: 36 Calendars.

 When I first walked in the place, I was shocked, it was so amazing. All of those are calendars.
 36 calendars are "the 36 years of calender of the artist", what I mean is the calendars are all recorded the experience of life though drawings. The memories that impressed he most in that particular months was drew on those calender.


 Some memories were very personal. This is about the artist had fall in love.

 This drawing is about the sadness in 4-6-1989 which all Chinese people should remember.

 The desks placing in the middle were also the calenders drawn by different people. Those people drew their memories on that particular calender. This is funny that the calender are empty. The artist may not remember any special events on that month.

Facebook also impressed us a lot.



 In this exhibition, I was really excited with a lot of calenders. Everyone have their own calenders, everyone experience a lot in their life including happiness and sadness. This exhibition made me recognize that our life is so grow. Art can always help people discovering something new but which  have been stay with you for a long time.


BLOG ASSIGNMENT - 1.2


 In 19th JAN,2012 , I had visited the Around Sound Festival and Osage Gallery. It is a great experience.
 The performance was started with placing the wood on the wood frame. I was curious that how did the performance perform with those wood.
 After placing the wood on the frame, he started nailing on the wood and made the sound.

At the same time, a woman was lying on the floor and changing her pose with the progress of nailing.
At this time, I still didn't understand what they were going to do.










 



 After finishing nailing, the artist started using a steel tool hit the nail. As the deepness of the nails on the wood were different, there were some different pitch of sound.


  At the same time, the woman started dancing with the sound. This performance was funny. The process of preparing the music performance was complicated and it just performed some simple tone of music. I think about the pop music we listened nowadays, it was more complex, the process should be more complicated. I should be more treasuring the music that I am listening. Moreover,  I can't imagined that how the nails can perform the music. After the performance, I found even nails can perform nice music and everything may have their own tone of music, we can discover it with care.
 The second performance was pouring the water from the bottle to the ground. There was some pattern on the ground due to the water.






 Pouring with different poses like dancing.


 There was some water remaining in the bottle, some sound can be produced with specific pitch of blowing wind. I had tried a lot of times before at the physics lesson in secondary school and I can only produce sound with specific quantity of water.

 After watching the performance, We visited another gallery.


 I like this photo very much. there was a cat in the middle. We may think cats are cute. In this photo, the cat seems so "big" and mighty. This may be another angle to look at the cats.




 This artwork was a television which placed with wrong angle. The light on the floor and the sound made it special. Would people spend whole night to watch such television?
