Louise Hearman
cryingcrystals:
Australian artist
“Hearman’s paintings can be very Lynch-like in the way she depicts unassuming locations, such as a park, a pond, a street or the side of a road and then introduces a disturbing element” John MacDonald
The Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery showcases her work here
realizing: It’s because I don’t want a marriage... →
It’s because I don’t want a marriage life. I just want a love life. A life with silly ramblings, sweet hugs in each morning, tender kisses in my back. A life filled with thinking what he’s doing today, does he thinking of me, what’s the breakfast for today, watching him sleeping beside me. A life…

She.,
I know a girl. She’s a fighter.
Not only in life, but to people. She said it’s her curse for being a person who’s too honest. She can pick a fight to anyone who rages her, betawi wankers down the street, asshole who’s harrasing her in wet market, bus driver and the kenek.. Even in her office, if she feels her boss been troubling her, she would say it to his face. She said...

La Cabane Perchée
I have discovered La Cabane Perchée and have completely dispensed with the idea of living in a cottage and instead decided that the tree house life is the one for me.
Founded by Alain Laurens, designer Daniel Dufour and carpenter Ghislain André, La Cabane Perchée turn childhood dreams of retreating to a private space high up in the trees into a reality. They aim to foster a sense of harmony...

Poetry And The Film: Amos Vogel, Maya Deren,...
Part 1 (MP3) Part 2 (MP3) This historically significant symposium held at the venerable Cinema 16 film society unraveled the relationship between poetry and avant-garde cinema. Discussed are the types of poetic expressions in film, poetry as a visual medium, “cinepoems”, and the influence of Vigo, Dali, Bunuel, Cocteau, and Eisenstein. A discussion surrounds the need to collaborate between...
Rape (1969)
In November 1968 work began on one of one of John & Yoko’s most ambitious film ventures, a 75-minute mini-feature called Rape. It starred Eva Majlata, a 21 year old Hungarian actress who couldn’t speak English. She cannot escape the prying attentions of the camera which follows her around the streets of London, through a park, allowing her no privacy and almost causing her to...

Casa No Gerês
Casa no Gerês, designed by Porto-based Correia/Ragazzi Aquitectos, has received its fair share of international awards and exposure. This is the first project by Graça Correia and her new Italian partner, Roberto Ragazzi. It is a bold statement that hides nothing. This is also a house that is easy to love from certain perspectives and from others; it looks quite unsuitable for its...

Maya Lin's linearity
I believe Maya Lin is the perfect example of Asian Kartini. Born in y. 1959, Lin, as an Asian and woman, has become one of the most brilliant artists slash architects in the US. She designed the famous Vietnam Veterans Memorial on her 20th age. She was still pursuing her Bachelor in Arts degree in Yale University by that time. She got her Master of Architecture degree in the same university,...

Tadao Ando Fundamentals
1941 Osaka born, Tadao Ando, has a signature that architecture trend intends to follow. Ando developed a radically new architecture characterized by the use of unfinished reinforced concrete structures. Using a geometric simplicity which reveals a subtlety and richness in spatial articulation, Ando has generated an architecture that shares the serenity and clarity that characterize traditional...

Subsequently released on vhs and laserdisc, this is the first time for these pieces on beautifully crisp DVD. Perfect viewing material for any follower of Eno, the two works are to the video format what his audio pieces were to music; ambient musings on the nature...

An ode to Criterion
As a person who can do 10 movie marathon in one single day, Criterion collection is well considered as the creme de la creme of my couch world. To put aside the top notch quality I don’t need to mention here, these above are my most favorite cover design of the collection. You can browse their full gallery here.
The Time-Image (Gilles Deleuze)
Medium: Film First Analysis: “Time-Image/Movement-Image” or “Poetic/Narrative” Genetic Time-Image: Noo-Sign/New-Signs Binary Sign: (1) “Aural/Sound-Images” and (2) “Optical/Sight-Images” Modes: (1) “Author-Function” and (2) “Free Spectator” Time-Image: An image which is unrecognisable, or “new” to a spectator, or which “shocks” a spectator out of a narrative which otherwise makes sense.

Tom Kundig; to design nature in design
I can’t help myself to hold this architectural urge when I see Tom Kundig’s works here. He can seem to find the precise balance between the structure that meets the landscape in every buildings he design. I found this article about those amazing huts above (1st pic), intriguing.
Somay
+ my daily treasure is eating somay in the street curb, we were starving. She didn’t have her wallet, and I forgot to bring mine! I was taking her to do medical check-up on her pregnancy. I fucked up. We can pay Obgyn later on with credit card, I begged the hospital cashier. So that is a relieve. On our way back, in the middle of the street, she suddenly craved for somay. She really want...
