Vasco went to an art exhibition today at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre in Shek Kip Mei. It is quite a cool place. The building itself, cira 1950s, was originally a building for small factories, but was converted into a community for art studios and galleries in 2008. The exhibition Vasco went to was 're:animating'. It was part of the City Fringe Festival 2009.
Vasco likes this particular exhibit, Resurrection Potion, a lot because the artist, Tang Ying Mui, used the twisters from trash bags to create something quite interesting (and dangerous). Vasco almost got sucked into the tube! In a way, Vasco doesn't quite understand contemporary arts because he doesn't understand how this could actually be related to modern day consumer identity or social awareness. He just thinks this piece is beautiful: a complex structure created from simple tool.
