2nd week -- A Dreamy Doll


  • see The New York City Waterfall pieces by Olafur Eliasson from Spiegelworld (Pier 17) -- but couldn't really feel The Nature in the city - The full moon on that day was more impressive
    -- go with artist
    Charles LaBelle who do wonderful projects (drawings and photography) about travels


  • attend the talk Old-Age Style: Late Louis Bourgeois by Linda Nochlin


  • attend the talk at Location One by Jane Philbrick
    -- it is always some kind of work u would love it after the artist talked about it. this is the one.


  • attend the lecture in Pace University, by Mark Napier
    -- it is always some kind of work u couldnt like it after the artist talked about it. this is the one.


  • Go to New York Library of Performing Arts, do some "research" (what i told my students to do, but i didnt dare to tell them, in fact, i had never made any research for my own work) on b/w film

    -- borrowed some films home. Charley Bowers' childish, playful and imaginative performance - the animation is amazing.


  • A Concert - Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center
    -
    by New York Philharmonic / Lorin Maazel, Conductor / Yefim Bronfman, Piano

    - of course, because of Rachmaninoff (Piano Concert No. 3 ) - i am back to classical music concert - it was almost 7 years ago in UK....

    - also love RAVEL -- a student of him recalled, "RAVEL loved tiny things."
    ...RAVEL concevied the idea then of composing a piece that would be within the children's limited technical grasp. He drew inspiration from children's stories from 17th-and 18th-century French collections, esp Charles Perrault's Mother Goose Tales, published in 1697
