On going show in Williamsburg

I am very pleased with the piece I am currently showing at WAH Center, Williamsburg.
I started this piece in Summer of 2008 at the Anderson Center, Red Wing, MN. And I finally finished the two days before the show. I was not painting this piece for last 17 months, but I needed to have "cure" time. I truly believe that I achieved the next level I wanted. The rendering of flower captured the essence of "Live". The complexity of elements were well balanced, and well composed. I do not have the best reproduction here yet as I took this photo 2 hours before I delivered to the center with my snap shot camera. I also feel very good about the fact I finished two pieces already in this year. (And having two shows.) It is very good start. Tibetan might say "It is auspicious." I actually flew with a high lama by chance. Then I received a teaching from him on the new years day. I diffidently started my January auspicious way.

WAH Center show: Now to Feb 14th Open Sat and Sun 12-6 WWW.WAHCENTER.NET 135 BROADWAY, BROOKLYN, N.Y You may need to use the door on Bedford.

I will be at the reception.

Two shows right now!

How's your 2010 so far? I am feeling pretty good. I finished two brand-new works and I am showing those two works at two group shows. One is called LUMEN, at Middlesex County College, Edison, NJ. Another one is at The Williamsburg Art and Historical Center,Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY.

LUMEN, curated by Asha Gunpat. January 21 - February 11 Monday through Friday 11am to 5pm at Middlesex County College, Edison, NJ. The reception will be from 5-8pm on Thursday January 28. 2600 Woodbridge Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08818-3050. It is a light sculpture show. My piece is some what inspired by aesthetic of the the 2010(Movie)even though I did not have conscious connection of this year to be 2010. (But most likely my subconscious mind send my psyche to this aesthetic, all white minimalism.) It is a white box that has the illusion of floating and had a keyhole. I expected the curiosity of the viewer will make them want to see through the keyhole. And when they see the keyhole, they will discover the fantasy landscape behind.

I will write about the piece at WAH Center show in my next entry.

Studio visit with Janos Stone

This is the second installation of the artist interview series.
(Click here for the previous interview with Ms. Hanna Cole.)

I went to Mr. Janos Stone's studio at Greenpoint part of the Brooklyn. The location reminded me of a small town in Midwest instead of Brooklyn.


Mr. Stone is a new media sculptor. He deploys new technologies in his creations. For instance, some of works I saw at his studio were created with 3-D scanning, and laser cutting.

Here are images of his studio and Mr. Stone.


Here are video interviews.

New York Mills, the last day

It’s 3:41 AM and I am still poking around at the studio. It took me 12 hours to pack and clean but at this point, I am just staying at the studio. It is natural to feel some kind of attachment. Now the place is clean and empty. And this place is so quiet. I never heard the fire engine sounds eventhough the fire station is half block away which is a good thing but it amazed me. (They have yellow engines by the way.)
The local people get annoyed with the sound of trains, but I enjoyed. It brings me some kind of nostalgic feeling. The street lights of this town are quite bright. And they put all Christmas lights, so the place is even brighter.




I am leaving this town in a morning. I will visit my friend in St. Paul. This would be another interesting episode as my dear friend is very energetic. He is my Dean, as in a character of “On the Road.” Associating him bring me positive energy.
I have a few things I would like to do once I go back to NYC. All of them are something to do with food. I want to go to All you can eat sea food place in Korean town, I want to cook something special, using all fancy ingredients that I did not have for a month. I really like to make the first episode of my cooking show. I will buy a camcorder finally after my return.



Staying here gave me some new ideas, and I also have several unfinished works. I would like to keep my momentum going. I need to do some major reorganizing, remodeling of a room.
I had a productive month. I met interesting people. The next phase just started.

New York Mills (Countdown starts, 9 days left)

Tonight was a play night at the center. I must say this place provide a lot of stimulation to the local communities. Yesterday night had a dance class for little people,and a beaded jewelry class.

Tonight"s show was by Mixed Blood Theater from Minneapolis called "Theory of Mind" by Ken LaZebnik.

At the Q and A session (Skyler Nowinski, Taj Rule, and Raul Ramos)

It was a story of high school kids' night out. The boy had asperger and he thought he was having a date with a girlfriend, though she didn't think that way as story reveled.) It was quite entertaining and it was a cute story that I could totally relate to. I had handful of expediencies with his situation. Funniest one will be the night I went out with 6 cute girls in college and I thought myself that I was so hot, and then they turned out to be gay, so I was totally off from their love interests. Let get back to the story; the show certainly constructed around the fact the boy has asperger, and the main theme was the friendship, and the message was to remove the stigma of having asperger , and to celebrate individuality and to embrace the special gift. He was strange but charming. I was watching them from my special viewing area, my studio.

I am working on scratch board piece today.
