Art, art places, exhibitions, and puppets!

At MOCA (Museum Of Contemporary Art) a series of selected images of works that resonate with my Taipei project; reflecting on presence and absence, dreams, the veneration of ancestors, 'ghosts', and displaced voices....(From When I Become You by Korean artist Yeesookyung and Invidualised Together by local artist collective Polit-Sheer-Form Office)









Some selected images from last week or so, various spaces and places..thinking Goddesses, calligraphy and the act of writing as art, and 'Her' story.

These next images are from a fantastic interactive exhibition by Lee Mingwei and his Relations - The Art of Participation. It was one of the most engaging experiences I have had in a gallery for some time....He explores and engages our senses and our perspective, be it as an observer or participant, both consciously and unconsciously. We may witness various planned and unplanned events, or view footage of events that have already taken place. There are various levels of intimacy that are offered including one on one night time sleep overs with the artist...with each participant leaving behind the contents on their bed side table as an installation. These small side tables with windows into personality..and how we collect/archive/carry various items. There is a sense too of the transitory nature of art, event, and one's own experience of this... and yet the inner conversation is sparked.

Hidden stories in hand made boxes

Mending brought into the gallery and then repaired by the artist


Small rooms of writing - Letters written in the moment to say what you want to someone you want to say it to...

Sending a message

Totally absorbed - walls of envelopes

Guernica - it was a version of the Picasso painting as sand art (yes its sand) - and here the remains post 'stamping'!
