David Amico
At the ACE Gallery Beverly Hills, I saw David Amico's exhibition, Drift-Trace Paintings. He is probably the best exhibition and artist I like the most after several gallery walks and visits in the west of LA.A portfolic presentation, strong composition, and color are what I admire him the most. Hope that I will be able to meet with him soon.

Simon Rodia
Yesterday, we visited the Watts Tower by Simon Rodia. It was nearly sunsetting, the sunshine on his work and making some enlongated shadows. I like the green door with "NUESTRO PUEBLO" on it the best. The shape and form is like coming out from the wonderland of a fairytale. What he is doing is truely a vision becoming reality.

russell peters
A clever Canadian comedian Russell Peters. I like his ability to mimic languages and to share his keen observation in a halarious fashion.

skoltz_kolgen
Met skoltz_kolgen last year. I was impressed by their professonism when it comes to performing and digital art.

"Dominique Skoltz and Herman Kolgen shot all the footage themselves with handheld digital video camera. This allowed them to improvise, change perspectives and to capture images and moments intuitively. They also customized MIDI software to trigger 6 35mm cameras, and used static surveillance cameras to captured additional digital video footage. This variety of cameras allowed multiple simultaneous perspectives, a variety of image textures and some unusual effects. In addition, still photographs were taken with a 120mm camera. Skoltz_Kolgen created a density and diversity of visual material. Ultimately, over 10,000 photographs were taking during the creation of Silent Room, and months of video footage shot. The artists concentrated on capturing their imagination as it unfolded before their lenses, on noticing the beautiful accidents that occurred, and accepting the generous interpretations of the collaborators that inhabited the beings as they made their way onto film."

All of us have been devoting tremendous time and effort in order to pass the test. I believe none of us will forget the time we had together. After today, everyone will move on to different paths in life. Thanks to the technology, we can keep in touch much easier. I like how Nathan put th...

Oculus by Cloud Gate 2

-
The choreographer of Oculus(斷章) is Wu Kuo-chu (伍國柱). Part I and II are stunning and unique. Itching in heart and body expresses the awaken of desire. Repeat and fast moving body languages is the projection of one's behavior and mental images. Unique gestures of dancers are the best part I like the most. Between Part II and before the rain fall, that is the part should be revised. When the rain starts falling, dancers stand still on the stage, cameraman's accurate takes plus mind soothing music, it is like standing in front of The Angelus by Millet. This is the moment shows Wu's solid training in visual arts and aesthetics. The music and costume reminds me of Pina Bausch's Masurca Fogo. Oculus certainly shows influence from Bausch. It is true that, in some level, had created an ingenious and heart-touching piece.

Mahler Symphony no. 5

-
It is a nice thing to spend an evening with Moment Musical , a young musical group in Taiwan. When they are playing Mahler (1860-1911), every musician viberates tremendous love of music and devotion to the concert. In total of 5 movements in Symphony no.5, musicians and the conductor play the notes at full steam, but everyone on the stage literately takes a very interesting 10 seconds break between each movement. This is a style that I have never seen before. I am not sure if that is appropriate of not; however, every performer has showed their passion via music without doubt.
