This is a very simple and cheerful painting that conveys its message when viewed carefully. This is a painting of the Mongolian tribe that tames eagles for hunting other animals. In the world where people are struggling to get technology under their control through robots, these people believe in their culture and ethnic beliefs. They rightly belief that even when the mankind consider that they are controlling technology they will never agree that they are being controlled by it. Eagles are birds that are endangered and depict power. The tribe also makes the eagle wear helmets in order to mark their ownership and make them look beautiful.

Morris Arboretum celebrated traditional and modern Korean culture with music and dance performances, food tastings, and hands-on activities. Arboretum Guides led an exploration of the Korean plants of the Arboretum’s 92-acre botanical collection.
Attendees enjoyed Korean music performed by three University of Pennsylvania students groups: PennDure, a traditional drum ensemble; Penn Sori, an a capella group; and Klass, a rap group who focus on a song’s melody and message for a sound more K pop than hip hop. Visitors to the garden also sampled Korean food favorites from local vendors, and made origami hanboks (traditional Korean costumes) with help from the University of Pennsylvania’s Korean Student Association.

James Ensor - 1860-1949.
Museum Plantin-Moretus (Antwerp, Belgium):
Ensor's States of Imagination.
Ensor's adventure with etching starts in 1886. He is 26 years old then, at the height of his career. During the following years, he is completely taken by the art of etching. He creates over 130 prints. Befriended artists and master-printers teach him the intricacies of the art.
Work of James Ensor.

In Pakistan a truck driver/owner usually pays $3,000 to $5,000 for their vehicle's external decoration. This decoration includes structural changes, paintings, calligraphy, ornamental decor and more.
Mirror work on the front and back of vehicles and wooden carvings on the truck doors are commonly used. Usually, the driver or the owner takes the truck to a coach workshop soon after its purchase for this decoration.
The artist embellishes each truck according to the particular tastes of the driver. . .
Karachi is considered the major bedecking center for such trucks. There is also a unique décor style for nearly every city in Pakistan. The Balochistani and Peshawari trucks are heavily trimmed with wood. Rawalpindi and Islamabadi trucks have prominently featured plastic work. Camel bone ornamentation is commonly seen in trucks decorated by Sindh artists. Thus these trucks are also representative of different historical and cultural regions of Pakistan.

Villa dei Quintili, Via Appia antica, Rome, Italy.
The Villa of the Quintilii (Italian: Villa dei Quintili) is an ancient Roman villa beyond the fifth milestone along the Via Appia Antica just outside the traditional boundaries of Rome,. It was built by the rich and cultured brothers Sextus Quintilius Maximus and Sextus Quintilius Condianus (consuls in 151 CE) in the course of the 2nd century.
The ruins of this villa suburbana are of such extent that when they were first excavated, the site was called Roma Vecchia ("Old Rome") by the locals, as they occupied too great a ground, it seemed, to have been anything less than a town. The nucleus of the villa was constructed in the time of Hadrian. The villa included extensive thermae fed by its own aqueduct, and, what was even more unusual, a hippodrome, which dates to the fourth century, when the villa was Imperial property: the emperor Commodus coveted the villa strongly enough to put to death its owners in 182 and confiscate it for himself.
In 1776 Gavin Hamilton, the entrepreneurial painter and purveyor of Roman antiquities, excavated some parts of the Villa of the Quintilii, still called "Roma Vecchia", and the sculptures he uncovered revealed the imperial nature of the site (Source:Wikipedia)

I have been trying to capture this image for many years. It's not exactly proper to take photos of conservative female strangers. So it's a little blurred but you get the idea. It's hard to get my head around this seeming dichotomy even though I've been here awhile.

These are photos of the set up I created inside our apartment for the Eastside Culture Crawl. The Crawl is a studio tour in East Vancouver that happens every November. This was my third time participating, and as usual I transformed our home into a temporary gallery.
