new rodarte book

2011-09-26T06:05:00.001-07:00

Got gifted a beautiful book from the talented Seth Zucker, which he designed.
The cover is meant to get dirty with usage to reveal the subtle foil printing.
I feel honor to be a recipient of this already sold out book.

the weather is beginning to change, naturally, so is my style of cooking.

traditionally people like to prepare it in the morning with the left overs from the night before
i make my version with brown rice instead of the traditionally used white.

Super easy to make.

skid mark

2010-05-09T09:12:00.000-07:00

Last week a group of cyclists dumped 13 gallons of paint on the road at Berlin’s busy Rosenthaler Platz, creating a series of colourful lines as cars drove through.
The various colours of paint were dumped onto the road in large puddles at different locations throughout the intersection. As traffic drove through, the paint was spread around creating lots of colourful lines. The whole action took only a few seconds: bikers had poured paint from big boxes in front of cars that waited for green lights. So the cars and their wheels, if the driver wanted it or not, became the brush tool for this guerilla public art piece.The creators of the project posted signs on post nearby explaining that the paint wasn’t harmful and would simply wash off with water.

laziness

2009-11-04T10:49:00.000-08:00

There are different species of laziness: Eastern and Western. The Eastern style is like the one practised in India. It consists of hanging out all day in the sun, doing nothing, avoiding any kind of work or useful activity, drinking cups of tea, listening to Hindi film music blaring on the radio, and gossiping with friends. Western laziness is quite different. It consists of cramming our lives with compulsive activity, so there is no time at all to confront the real issues. This form of laziness lies in our failure to choose worthwhile applications for our energy.

I don't remember where I found this picture, but I had so many reactions when I first saw this.
1) Ew, mohair? Ew, itchy.
2) Excuse me little girl, what do you think you are you doing?
3) HI Daddy man.
4) Mr dad, what are you smiling at?
5) Is this what they mean when they ban nude hiking in Swiss Alp? ( Common, really? Nude? Hiking?)
6) How funny if I show up on the beach with one of those?
7) Where can I find one in my size?

reminiscing and feeling sentimental after seeing him, she said:
"its so anonymous
its like photographs.
they've always fascinated me.
you see this frozen image of a guy with a caption underneath.
maybe he was a coward.
maybe he was a nice guy.
but at the moment it was taken,
no one can really say who he was, what he was thinking about.
his wife? his mistress?
the past? the future? basketball?
no one will ever know."

"that's life for you." he replied, looked slightly at her while a cigarette dangled from his lips.

Sometimes I really think I am the luckiest girl in the world.
Last Thursday when attending some friend's group show in Chelsea, the Yossi Milo Gallery right next door had an opening for a beautiful photo show by Japanese artist Asako Narahashi. This is her first solo show in the US. The photos has a very calming, yet melancholy sentiments. The perspective of landscapes cropped at the the water's edge, giving it a drowning feeling, like the last image you see before you go under...
I almost pulled out my check book. But on second thought, I am announcing that my birthday is in January, just putting it out there.

not often am i taken by many art i see these days. but i was pretty impressed my the simple genius of olufar eliasson's recent retrospective showing at MOMA in NY. a provocative approach to the to raise awareness to how a simple skew of perspective in our surrondings can bring wonder to the everyday mundane.
