My Offering
plaster, bread (donated by Breadworks)
2011
Artist Statement:
I have not escaped the memories of the victims’ hands asking food and help in the aftermath of the Nagis cyclone that hit Burma’s delta in 2008. When my wife and I were doing relief work with other friends, I saw the many hands of people who were hungry for food, for safety, for kindness and for others. We continue to see countless hands like these all over the world today.
There are countless hungry people who are running and hiding because of civil war and war aggressions, who lost their job because of crises, and who are trying to survive under a dictatorship. They raise their hands with hunger and questions that are important to solve to stay alive.
I am an artist who became a baker for our family’s survival. Whenever I am working with bread, I see the hungry hands of the victims we helped in Burma, and I continue to think of other hands that are rising with needs. It is a pleasure to put nourishment in the hands of hungry ones. When I bake, peace becomes an ingredient.
One night, I had a chance to rewatch an old James Bond movie. There was a scene about a weapon factory in the film. The faces of the workers in the weapons factory are like the faces of statues–I could not see any happiness or interest. When I thought of my fellow workers, I felt joy knowing I am able able to work with their smiling faces in the bakery.
I believe that everybody, especially those who have known hunger, will be happy to view this expanse of bread. I mentally combined the hungry hands that I cannot forget and the bread that I have enjoyed baking over the years to make this artwork because I want to bring a little bit of happiness to people. Imagine bombs instead of bread in these hands. Would you still find joy in them?
Bio: Than Htay Maung was born in 1958 in Pathien, Burma. He lives in Pittsburgh with his wife Khet Mhar, an exiled writer who received political asylum in the U.S. His installation work, created out of found materials, is politically charged commentary on news and its veracity and dissemination to the public. Whether making an installation about satellite news distribution in Burma or sending SOS bottles filled with commentary down the Irrawaddy River, Than Htay Maung’s work always asks the viewer to question what he or she believes to be the truth. He has previously exhibited in a Gestures exhibition at the Mattress Factory and in New York.
Morakot "Emerald" (2007)
อภิชาติพงศ์ วีระเศรษฐกุล (Apichatpong Weerasethakul)
Single channel video installation (11 minutes)
Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Thai: อภิชาติพงศ์ วีระเศรษฐกุล), born July 16, 1970 in Bangkok, Thailand) is a Thai independent film director, screenwriter, and film producer. His feature films include Tropical Malady, which won a jury prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, Blissfully Yours, which won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard program at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, and Syndromes and a Century, which premiered at the 63rd Venice Film Festival and was the first Thai film to be entered in competition there.
Working outside the strict confines of the Thai film studio system, Apichatpong Weerasethakul has directed several features and dozens of short films. Themes reflected in his films (frequently discussed in interviews) include dreams, nature, sexuality (including his own homosexuality), and Western perceptions of Thailand and Asia, and his films display a preference for unconventional narrative structures (like placing titles/credits at the middle of a film) and for working with non-actors. Cinephiles affectionately refer to him as "Joe" (a nickname that he, like many with similarly long Thai names, has adopted out of convenience).
Apichatpong Weerasethakul chose to show the Single Channel Film/Installation piece Morakot (Emerald, 2007), in response to the theme of Wonder in the Biennale. The ‘Emerald’ is a disused hotel in Bangkok, which opened its doors in the 1980s when Thailand was going through social change and an accelerated economy. Things changed with the Asian economic crisis in the late 1990s. As he was researching rooms for another shoot, the experience of being in the now empty spaces, with motes lingering in the air made an impact, perhaps like a star first bursting into life then later slowly disappearing. He returned to the hotel a year later, re-engaging with this experience together with his actors as they recounted their own memories and dreams to make Morakot.

The Celestial Tree représente un arbre céleste conçu à partir des matériaux d'un panneau de signalisation urbaine. The Celestial Tree agit effectivement comme un phare menant au sommet de la montagne. L'œuvre est tirée de l'un des plus récents films numériques - ou machinima - de l'artiste, She Falls for Ages, une science-fiction féministe transposant le mythe fondateur des Haudenosaunee, ou Iroquois, dans un monde postracial et postcapitaliste. L'œuvre questionne ainsi notre rapport à l'avenir, elle nous invite à renouer avec nos semblables, avec l'histoire de notre ville et avec notre désir de la voir évoluer nous incitant à imaginer un monde meilleur. Une œuvre qui nous pousse à rêver en grand.
Arnold Dreyblatt’s musical and artistic practice ranges from large multi-day performances to permanent installations, digital projections, dynamic textual objects and multi-layered lenticular text panels. His visual artworks are complex textual and spatial visualizations about memory, reflecting upon such themes as recollection and the archive. Arnold Dreyblatt was a Visiting Scholar at MIT and taught a course entitled “The Harmonic Archive: Music, Sound and Installation Art as Artistic Research.”
A member of the second generation of New York minimal composers, Dreyblatt continues to develop his work in composition and music performance, having invented a new set of original instruments, performance techniques and a system of tuning. He has formed and led numerous ensembles under the title “The Orchestra of Excited Strings” for over thirty years.
Arnold Dreyblatt studied music with Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young and Alvin Lucier. He has been based in Berlin, Germany since 1984. In 2007, Dreyblatt was elected to lifetime membership in the visual arts section at the German Academy of Art (Akademie der Künste, Berlin).

This shot was taken at around 6pm.
These two pieces of installation art are sort of landmark for the newly built promenade in Kwun Tong. However, it seems to be copycat of another work located on a Barcelona beach, created by an installation artist, Rebecca Horn.

The Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA) occupies a converted factory building complex occupying 13-acres in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is one of the largest centers for contemporary visual art in the United States. The complex was originally built by the Arnold Print Works, which operated on the site from 1860 to 1942. MASS MoCA opened in 1999 with 19 galleries and 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m2) of exhibition space. It is large enough to put on exhibitions in individual buildings for extended periods - a Sol Lewitt building has five stories full of work conceived by him (and executed by others) on display until 2033; another building contains three large-scale installations by Anself Keifer on display until 2028.
The Boiler Room is one of the buidlings and when I was there it contained an installation of audio art. And old boiler room stuff that was highly photogenic.

The arrangement of matter, its behaviour, addition to or subtraction from it, its shape and difference in position, and its rearrangement create chaos in the normal activity of the human brain. Apparently, all of this is without a reason, but the following can be experienced from this:
- A temporary feeling of stillness (or a partial feeling of emptiness)
- A strong reaction of the inquisitive cells
- A realization of meaninglessness.
Wise men say:
"Be empty if you want to be full".
Does he know about the distance between existence and annihilation, or the difference between what is visible and what is not?
