In May 2008, just months before the Beijing Olympics, a devastating earthquake struck Sichuan Province, killing hundreds of thousands of people. Chinese artist 陳秋林 Chen Qiulin’s 漂浮Floating series responds directly to that catastrophe, adding a distinctly personal tenor to an event many only learned about through the media.
These floating human figures, sculpted in papier-mâché made primarily with paper scavenged from the detritus of the disaster, have the rough surfaces of industrial materials. At first glance, their texture, heft, and mass resemble that of concrete structures—a reference to the recent industrialization of the artist’s homeland.
Yet as the forms sway gently in space, suspended by nearly invisible pieces of fishing line, their apparent heaviness gives way to an essential weightlessness. The sculptures’ movements likewise suggest multiple possible readings, alternately evoking the graceful postures of dance and traumatic visions of bodies falling in space. Personal history drives Chen’s practice, but in creating such plays between opposites, she asks viewers to bring their own histories to their encounters with her work.

# Chen Qiulin 陈秋林 (陳秋林)
Chen Qiulin (b. 1975) is an emerging artist who is deeply concerned with the impact of urbanization in China. Her practice includes performance, photography, video, installation and most recently sculpture. She combines personal history with themes of demolition, migration, and transformation to express the reality for "ordinary people" living in China today. Born in Hubei Province, Chen Qiulin graduated from the Printmaking Department at the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts and currently divides her time between Chengdu and Beijing.

Galería Leandro Navarro in Madrid, Spain gave a solo show to Picasso during Art Basel Hong Kong 2013.
Titled “Les Trois Baigneuses” or “The three bathers” in English, this painting was drawn on September 15, 1932 while Picasso is having his summer vacations in the South of France—at Boisgeloup.
Picasso is one of my favorite artists of all times. As a creator, his work is always changing and fresh, independent of gallery demands. His lines are brief, which shows decisiveness and maturity of a painter.

# Description by the Gallery
In 1932, inspired by his summer vacations in the South of France, Picasso executed a number of paintings of figures on a beach. This work is most closely related to two similar sized compositions, both titled Baigneuses, painted during the same period (Zervos, vol.8, nos. 61 and 62). The first (no. 61) was painted one week earlier on September the 6th and was also dean with a dense line and darkly coloured passages in the background. That work appears to contain four figures in a mostly triangular grouping. The present work contains three figures and the added element of the dressing huts in the right background. The final work (no. 62) painted on the 28th of November shows the figures more clearly delineated and the whole composition is far more sophisticated. While the last work most clearly shows the figures as play, this and the earlier painting both have an element of foreboding as the lower figure relates to the image of the drowned woman which appears in other beach scenes. With this association in mind, the scene shifts between exuberant play and a moment of highly charged distress.

This temple is called 慈誠宮 “Temple of Compassion and Sincerity” (Cíchéng Gōng), and is where I see the festive lanterns. The temple was built in 清嘉慶元年 (1796). It is considered a “Level-3 Historic Site” (三級古蹟) in Taiwan, and is a representative model of Chinese historic temple architecture.
It is located at Great South Road, Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan (台灣台北市士林區大南路).

As Hong Kong’s only university offering degrees in fashion design, the Institute of Textiles & Clothing (紡織及製衣學系, ITC) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (香港理工大學, PolyU) organizes a fashion show for their best and brightest students from their graduating class each year.
This year, 24 students from the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Scheme in Fashion and Textiles or the Higher Diploma Scheme in Fashion and Textile Studies were showcased, each showing 6 looks on the runway.
The event was held on June 26th, 2013 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (香港會議展覽中心, HKCEC).
Pictured is a panorama of the stage at the afternoon show before it started. It is handheld, so you will see imperfect seams everywhere, but it should hopefully illustrate the crowd and stage nicely. Stitched together using 13 captures with the 6D and 24-70 f/2.8L.

Designed by Arquitectonica, the building complexes at 貝沙灣 Residence Bel-Air located at 數碼港 Cyberport feature many of the key ingredients in Hong Kong’s luxury residential properties, as well as some WTF sceneries:
+ “風水洞 Feng Shui Hole”, the hole in the middle of the building which allows the dragon to fly through.
+ High density which soars to the sky. Higher density means more space around for scenery. This allows everyone to have a good view.
+ Ocean view. No one wants to be looking at humans when they are indoors. Well, I don’t.
+ Clothes hanging dry on the balcony. Hong Kong does not have a lot of space so everyone regardless of their income level dry their clothes outside. Truly WTF, yes I know.
+ Swimming pool with a view. This seems almost standard. There is a swimming pool at my place, too. But alas they are always surrounded by buildings so if you are super-private like me you will never swim there. Public swimming pools actually are more private because at least no one can see you.
Pictured is the view from the balcony of one of the apartments at 貝沙灣 Residence Bel-Air. Stitched together using 16 RAW captures with the 6D + 17-40 f/4L, processed with Autopano Giga 3.0 and Lightroom 4.

Chinese artist 朱金石 Zhu Jinshi’s abstract paintings are incredible—mostly as they resemble more as sculptures than paintings. Born in Beijing in 1954, the artist is known to apply his oil paint with spatulas and shovels.
“Thickness … visually guides you to change your worldview,” he said. “It can be used as a point of breakthrough.”
This head-on view does not really showcase the brilliance of this work, so I have also photographed another one from the side so you can see how the oil paints leave the canvas and protrude a great few inches from the surface.
Zhu Jinshi was born in Beijing, China in 1954, where he currently lives and works.

With its signature blue jogging lane and wonderful sea breeze, the Ma On Shan Promenade was one of the nicest thing available in my neighborhood. It looks great up on top peering from the 27th floor down [1], and is relaxing just to walk around or do some landscape photography, as can be seen in my serenity photo series [2].
Completed in three phases between 2009 and 2010, the whole stretch of the promenade is 3.2km long and covers an area of 5.2 hectares. Besides jogging trails, it has children’s playgrounds, elderly fitness corners as well as fitness stations.
It is also a great place to photograph Pat Sin Leng (the long stretch of mountains in the back) as well as Tolo Harbour, as can be seen on my stream as well.

Round 3: The lines becomes curve for this one.
The building on the left is Exchange Square. The one on the right is still Jardine House. With its circular windows, Jardine House has an interesting facade which makes it beautiful to photograph. In many ways, when I first saw the Maritime Hotel in New York, the first thing I was reminded of is how much better Jardine House looks comparatively speaking.
This photo might look better in black and white—so it will be processed as such later—if I have learned anything looking at the Flickr stream of Thomas Hawk, it is that interleaving photographs from different places and series generally look better than streaming the same kind of photos continuously. Diversity makes life interesting…

When does street art end and fine art begins? It is hard to make that distinction anymore, and the pieces seen at ABHK certainly reflects the trend.
For over 40 years, two artists in the UK collaborated under the name “Gilbert & George,” which is comprised of Gilbert Proesch (b. 1943-09-17 in San Martin de Tor, Italy) and George Passmore (b. 1942-01-08 in Plymouth, UK).
This mixed media painting titled “Jacksie” were done in 2008, when both artists are well in their 60s, but there is no shortage of WTF in their work—which has elements similar to that of graffiti seen on the streets of London except that they are shown in well known galleries.
It is awesome to find a partner in crime—life long marriage in art. Sweet.

I saw a trend in recent years where photographers process their portraits as these high local luminance contrast with low saturation renderings. It always give a rather mysterious “look” to their photos so I tried my hands in creating something similar.
I do not normally work with studio photography so I do self-portraits mostly as I am the only available subject. In usual fashion, I am most natural when I am not aware of the camera, so I close my eyes and let the TC-80N3 does its timed interval shots.
The background a black canvas I recently fetched on Taobao for 45 RMB, and I see now that it has its limits. Although the canvas is more durable, it does not distribute light as evenly as paper, so I might do some more shopping in the future.

Photo by request. Chinese men playing basketball at night. Panorama stitched using 18 7D RAW handheld capture. Thus seams are not perfect and people are seen with their body chopped off, some even have body doubles. But what was requested is depicted. You can always crop out what you want to have a perfect photo. This beats posting 18 boring image on my stream.

The elevated footbridge in Central near Exchange Square. Here you see one expect about pano which makes things interesting—it is possible to capture the same person twice. The guy on the right is the same person walking in the middle ground. The seams are not perfect because it is handheld but it shows just how extensive the footbridge network is in Hong Kong.

These appeared new to me but I am not sure if it's just that I have not been on the newer trains. These newer signage, seen on the M train today is very user-friendly. Easy to quickly tell what the next stop is and easily reusable for all different lines.
See SML Pro Blog: New York City Subway LED Signage for complete description, photos and videos.
A few people have commented that the previous motion series was a bit “sinister,” [1] so here I give you another rendering, where I was completely oblivious to the surrounding even now I am logically aware of my intention…
There are still a few of these which I haven’t gotten the time to work on but thanks to my data serialisation methodology I can still find it in my 100,000+ RAW Lightroom catalog…

More work from A.R. Penck (Ralf Winkler) seen at the Art Basel Hong Kong which I liked.
The primitive cave paintings at Lascaux are often considered by art historians as the beginning of art, and in many ways Penck’s stick figures and his flat and pictographic symbols resemble that of the past as well. In some ways they remind me of the drawings by Keith Haring, but obviously Penck came from a completely different line.
It looks almost like an artefact justifying the “ancient aliens” theory by many ufologists, but of course it was painted rather recently. It is fantastic though.

Anthony McCall is, without question, one of the seminal artists of American avant-garde cinema. His films and installations from the seventies such as Line Describing a Cone, Long Film for Four Projectors, and Four Projected Movements, represent an extraordinarily corporeal and sensuous meditation on the medium of film and the politics of the audience's physical and conceptual relationship to it. All of these works took as their starting point the irreducible, necessary conditions of cinema: projected light, and real, three-dimensional space.
Philippe-Alain Michaud, the Film Curator at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges-Pompidou, writing about Anthony McCall's work stated: "Instead of a perspectival, illusionist space that brings cinema close to painting, McCall's films use a projective space that makes it into sculpture. The film is no longer a projected image that bores a fictive depth into the surface of the wall, but constitutes an actual field that merges with the event of projection itself. In this way Anthony McCall's light-beams, outlined against mist, expanding upon the specifically plastic properties of film, cross the frontiers of cinema history to join the minimalist propositions of 1970s sculpture and rank alongside the geometric structures of Robert Morris, Sol LeWitt or Carl Andre, Dan Flavin's fields of color, or Fred Sandback's spans of colored yarn."
Beginning with Doubling Back in 2003, McCall returned to the 'solid light' form. Since then, with works like Breath, Exchange, and Between You and I, he has developed a group of important new installations which radically expand on the earlier series.
Anthony McCall's work is included in many major public collections worldwide including: the Tate Gallery, London, England; the Museum of Modern Art, New York, United States; the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, United States; the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain; and the Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt, Germany.
Anthony McCall lives and works in New York.

The 7D is back from the shop (3,000 HKD for main board switching after water damage—ouch!). The first thing I tested is to see how far the 400mm can reach from the aerial view peering down from the 27th floor.

Chinese imperial roof decoration (檐獸 yán shòu) was only allowed on official buildings of the empire. Along the ridges, near the corner, a row of small figures is placed. The imperial yellow glaze is reserved for the emperor.
At the tail of the procession will be an imperial dragon, representing the authority of the state. At the head of the procession will be a man riding a Phoenix, one legend suggests that this represents a minon of the emperor who grew greedy for power and was hanged from the roof gable for treason.
In between will be mythical beasts, usually an odd number of them. The mythical beasts are set to pounce upon the man and devour him should he stray from performing his duties with faithfulness and rectitude.
Pictured is the imperial roof decoration seen at the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿), featuring the maximum nine mythical beasts. The order of the beasts are: 1. evil-dispelling bull, 2. courageous goat-bull (獬豸), 3. wind-summoning fish (狎魚), 4. storm-summoning fish (狎魚), 5. mythical lion (狻猊), 6. auspicious seahorse, 7. heavenly horse, 8. lion, and 9. chiwen (鴟吻, a son of dragon). Additionally, an immortal guardian (行什, hangshi) is in front of the dragon holding to a sword like a cane.

Thank you for Your Visit, Have a Nice Day is a performance piece by Agata Olek (Facebook / Flickr / Portfolio) created for Art in Odd Places:SIGN, an annual festival exploring the odd, ordinary and ingenious in the spectacle of daily life.
Curated by Erin Donnelly and Radhika Subramaniam
Director of AIOP: Ed Woodham
Artist Statement
"Inspired by a uniformed attendant holding the sign Hold the Handrail in a Taipei metro station, I've created this moving installation/performance piece. In wearable sculptures of multicolored crocheted camouflage, my performers appear in various sites on 14th Street, displaying photographs of signs I've collected from different countries that are in emphatic, ironic or amused dialogue with their location."

The signage is split into two halves. On the left side of the panel shows where the train is at while the train is stopped (with a flashing bounding box), and when it's in motion, it displays the next stop. The name of the next 10 stops, in yellow, are displayed to the right of 'you are here sign post'. Each station name is accompanied with designation in green which shows the additional lines you can do an interchange. A red handicapped icon designate whether there it is a station equipped with accessibility access.
At the end of the right half of the panel shows the last stop of the train, and the LED displays loops through the rest of the stop in multiple of 10s, so you can get a glance of all the stops while keeping the display small enough so as not requiring an extra large panel for the longer lines.

Peter Liversidge
Proposal for the Armory Show no. 1
Come On In, 2010
180 hand-painted dice
ash, cherry, oak, acrylic and gouache
dimensions variable
+++
Every element in an exhibition of work by Peter Liversidge begins at the artist’s kitchen table with Liversidge sitting alone writing proposals on an old manual typewriter. These hand-typed pages, present an array of possible and impossible ideas for performances and artworks in almost every conceivable medium. In a sense the first realisation of every work is in Liversidge’s head, then on the page, then in the mind of the reader, and finally (perhaps) as a physical object or happening. In every case, the first ‘artwork’ from any series of proposals is the bookwork that presents the collected ideas.
As Liversidge has said: “… the process is also about the notion of creativity: it’s important that some of the proposals are actually realized, but no more so that the others that remain only as text on a piece of A4 paper. In a sense they are all possible and the bookwork that collates the proposals allows the reader to curate their own show, and because of its size and scale the bookwork allows an individual to interact with each of the proposals on their own terms, one to one”.
Over the past few years Liversidge has worked in this way with an increasingly diverse body of institutions and places including: Proposals for Liverpool (Tate Gallery, 2008), Proposals for Barcelona (Centre d’art Santa Monica, 2007), Proposals for Brussels (with the British Council for the Europalia Festival, 2007), Proposals for Miami (Art Basel Miami, 2009) and Jupiter Proposals (the newly opened sculpture park Jupiter Artland, 2009). Forthcoming projects include fifty Proposals to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (which will be presented at the 2010 Edinburgh Art Festival) and a major new work to be unveiled at Jupiter Artland in May 2010. Liversidge is also one of 8 artists selected to be part of a major research project and exhibition by the Architectural Association, London and the city of Venice, to be unveiled at the Venice Biennale in 2011.

Ernie: Hey look there are some red stripes which matches my shirt, let’s go and take some photos!
Bert: Oh you are right it does, but did you know that it actually means something.
Ernie: Really? What does it mean?
Bert: It is an equal sign. It stands for equality—marriage equality to be exact.
Ernie: Marriage equality? I thought that everyone can get married as long as they love each other.
Bert: Well, apparently not—some gay people in America cannot because some people think that it is not sanctioned by religions.
Ernie: That makes no sense! We should support it! We have been married for so long. We should show them what love is like!

Two people face each other. A man on the right sitting on his own giving a glance. The woman does not gaze back—she is too busy texting on her cell phone. In between there are some form of lights—I do not know what they are. Perhaps they are traffic signs. They could also be a reference to the LED pulses of electronic devices. The three paintings are grouped together. They are connected yet separated.
Contemporary Chinese art is interesting to me as they deal with something both familiar and distant. Growing up in Hong Kong, I am well versed in Chinese history, but that of modern communist China is one which is unfamiliar to me. Chinese contemporary works root from something completely alien because the culture of Hong Kong is also very different than that in China.
A graduate of China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, WANG Jianwei 汪建伟 (汪建偉 b. 1958 Sichuan Province, China) is a Chinese artist best known for his installation and video works. ‘Connection’ (鏈接) and ‘relationship’ (關聯) have been the key phrase in his vocabulary.

Georgia Russell (b. 1974) is a Scottish artist who slashes, cuts and dissects printer matters, music scores, maps, books, newspapers and photographs into beautiful sculpted forms.
This particular piece caught my attention mostly as it bears resemblance to African masks—though its execution is abstract in nature. In some ways it reminded me of the “OMG LOL” sculpture by Michael Mandiberg [1] which I saw in 2009 at Eyebeam in New York. Both use a large hard cover book as their raw materials; both cut them out and turn them into something else. But Manidberg’s piece is one which talks specifically to the technological generation which we are in, where as Russell’s piece is organic in its formation and subconsciously references history in my own memory.
Another fine example of how an everyday object transformed through pure imagination into one such is fantastically extraordinary. Crazyisgood. SML Love.
Georgia Russell studied Fine art at Aberdeen University and the Royal College of Art and is a visiting lecturer at universities and art schools.

After taking some 15-minute shots, I thought why not take some 30-minute ones, and so here it is. Unlike the purple one which was shot from the horizon [1], this one was shot from the 27th floor near my bedroom window.
For this one I left the white balance at the “natural” settings, so you can see that normally the sky is just a very reddish glow . I also had a 15-minute shot for this, and for that capture you can see the clouds more clearly. But for pure illustration of the mood, you can’t beat the sky on this capture.
There is this odd streak in the middle of the frame, which I think might be a boat, but I was not looking at this capture the whole time I was photographing this so I cannot be sure.
This might eventually be reprocessed as black and white. As you can see there is really no “correct” way of setting the white balance on these night long exposure shots, which might be precisely the reason that most photographers just process them as black and white.

David Schnell
The landscape painting of David Schnell reflects the manifestations of a nature, which is getting undercut by our direct, urban surrounding. Thereby architectural pieces capture more or less dominantly the image area of the landscapes. David Schnell uses places such as the cultivated landscape around Leipzig, his domicile and place of study as master student of Prof. Arno Rink, as sources of motive for his pictures.
Within his contemplations of landscape the artist does not evoke real moments of memory. He rather shows an abstract nature which lies beyond any recognizable or concrete experiences. This abstraction manifests itself in the pictorial dissolving of architectural structures and wavering, partly competing vanishing points. Alienating, dissolving, decomposing and subsequent connecting are signs of the artists processual way of working. There are also visual contents which are formed just out of pixels and barcodes. The fluttery status is additionally pointed out by the colouring of the pictures, which ranges from monochrome displays up to prism like light refractions.
The pictures by David Schnell awake the impression of constant speed and destabilisation, which finally also questions the own sense of time.

At the shore of the Golden Palm is a row of day beds in the form of gazebos. These forms reminded me somewhat of The Gates by Christo and Jeanne-Claude installed at New York's central park back in 2005.
It was wonderfully serene as I doze off to sunsets in the evenings.
The extreme lighting condition at the Eastern State Penitentiary makes it a prime candidate for HDR processing in order to extract enough detail on the ceiling while keeping the brilliance of the blue sky and rust color contrast.

Haven't done HDR for a while and totally forgotten that I don't have to use Photomatix anymore. This was rendered in Photoshop CS4. I like that I don't have to use another program just to do what I want to do!

Clockwise from top left: Strattera, Viagra, Panadol, Nicorette. Yes these are all prescriptions.
Why do I get Viagra? Well one of the reasons I don't like to take Strattera aka the “chill pill for when interfacing with humans” is that although it halves my speed and thus make it possible for me to talk to humans in their “normal speed,” it has very severe sexual side effects. It is very challenging.
People who take psychiatric meds would understand this. Many anti-depressants have this side effect mainly because of their specific mechanism of actions (MOA). So it is rather wtf sometimes. You take meds to help you adjust your mood so you don't get depressed but then you would then completely suck in bed.
Not too good ey? But get this—the blue pill pretty much turns you into a sex god and seriously ever since I get these prescriptions there are more than enough men in New York lining up to “play” with me. Oh the crazy insane world of fun when you are certifiably crazy—like I said, Crazyisgood! :)

“The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.”—Hofmann
Hans Hofmann (March 21, 1880 – February 17, 1966) was a German-born American abstract expressionist painter. He believed that abstract art was a way to get at the important reality.
Starting at a young age, Hofmann gravitated towards science and mathematics. At age sixteen, he started work with the Bavarian government as assistant to the director of Public Works where he was able to increase his knowledge of mathematics. He went on to develop and patent such devices as the electromagnetic comptometer, a radar device for ships at sea, a sensitized light bulb, and a portable freezer unit for military use. Even with such great abilities in science and mathematics, Hofmann became interested in creative studies, beginning educational art training after the death of his father.
Hofmann’s art work is distinguished by a rigorous concern with pictorial structure, spatial illusion, and color relationships.

A collage of forms seen at the Ma On Shan Sports Grounds. Bright colors seem to be a main stay in sporting arena regardless of location in the world. Blue and yellow stripes always work. It looks like an Adidas retro sneaker to me. The circular rubber band and the curvature from the seats add a little bit of contrast without dominating.
If I could paint, this is what I would paint as well. As such this is part of the SML Paintings series also.

The National Concert Hall (國家音樂廳) is a performing arts venue at Liberty Square in Zhongzheng District, Taipei, Taiwan. The buildings, though modern in function and purpose, recall traditional elements of Chinese palace architecture. The building and its twin, the National Theater (國家戲劇院) located directly across, were completed in 1987.
