Landing Space
Coming to you this November -- unseen, unedited, and completely unreal -- BLOGGED: opening Sunday Nov 7, from 4pm at Gone Fishing cafe, 15 Chu Lin Road

Pieces of you are quickly sketched using water colours. Rolling on the queen mattress on the floor, handing me your markers, asking me to hand you your markers, rolling on the queen. Bangs flopping about and all I see are eye lashes, because you constantly look down. Xerox paper on mala kid's paper. One constant, recording time. You can see marks of progression, in the end, meaningless. The rest, when laid out, is you. When put together, is you. I didn’t draw to the sides. It's a matter of being functional, something needs to hold the base in place. Everything is being dried right now.
Time to make lunch. Let's try minced pork in egg custard today. Let's try not to spit out minced pork in egg custard today.
Ciao bella,
Where is Mars?

GG has a date!!!!!!!
I'm sooo excited I feel like I have a date, too!
Some guy in an Acura picked her up in the parking lot of the Fleet bank. She has no idea what he looks like because he never got out of the car, but the car, she is pretty sure, is blue. She said..oh my God, what if he doesn't have legs?!Ypou know, because she only saw him sitting inthe car..He got her number, called her 2 days later, and they are meeting at the Cheesecake Factory at the mall. This offends GG's sensibilities suffiently that she is going to change venues.
Oddly enough, AT THE EXACT SAME MOMENT I was walking Pelle by the river and some guy almost fell off his bike craning his neck to look at us...I started laughing and he sheepishly came back and asked Me out for a drink..but he didn't have a pen and he was totally embarrassed...you caught me...he wailed...oh well.I let him leave. He was seriouisly cute, though. So GG says this is all due to the effects of Venus in Gemini...I'm all for it, what ever it is!

Opening 22 Oct 2004, 7pm
Three artists, Jezlyn Tan, Angie Seah and Lim Shing Ee, come together for the very first time in this exhibition entitled, 'dot' which features mainly sculptural objects.
'dot' is an experiential showcase that explores the whimsical, poetic, animalistic, aesthetic, absurd, even psychotic nature of our everyday perspectives and associations we create in our minds as we live our urban life.
The word, 'dot' could be read as marking the 'beginning' of a process, as in 'dot' to 'line' and subsequently to 'plane'. It may seem merely a tiny mark on infinite space, but it has no doubt a giant potential to grow in its significance over that space it occupies. In 'dot' the artists attempts processes that seem slightly unfamiliar to their usual way of making. It is a process to explore and initiate, not only more inspiring projects to happen, but also tap new energies within themselves to achieve greater unexpected outcomes.

Mon-Sat 11.30 am - 8 pm
Sun 12 noon - 5.30 pm
The exhibition runs to Sunday 31st October 2004.
Sri Lankan-born Mahen has been painting for over thirty years, and has devoted the last eight to portraying Lord Ganesh. This exhibition, Ganeshism, is the culminating point of a collection that attempts to present the symbolism and iconography surrounding Lord Ganesh in a colourful, contemprary form through his art.
With Ganeshism, Mahen attempts to reach back to the past, while looking forward, balancing the challenges between the spirit of modernism and the need to capture the essence of a traditional art form, undiluted.

It is equally an opportunity of discovering one of the most famous French writers, brilliant and stylish in her works, as well as in her personal life.

About the Festival
Artists take on cinema in this festival of courageous new works. The Festival is proud to bring to its platform a few consumed and all-consuming
individuals – the young contemporary artist, the film critic, the experimental film-maker. Rutherford Chang, Emily Chua, Frankie Ng, Ana Prvacki, Ben Slater and the mystery trio, Vertical Submarine! The Festival is pleased to have the additional privilege of showing works by New York based artist, Shelly Silver, in the Shelly Silver Special on Wednesday nights.
See YOU ALL!
About the Works
Experience the unrestrained physicality and sensory indulgence of exploding popcorn in Ana Prvacki’s Ananatural Popcorn In Extravaganza, as popcorn explodes against blue skies and puffy clouds. Watch Emily Chua and Rutherford Chang’s Andy Forever, a video comprising every death scene
in the history of Andy Lau’s acting career, arranged chronologically and looped continuously, immortalising the actor in a monotonous loop of make-believe death and cinematic reincarnation. In Ben Slater’s Interior. Room. Night, witness a man so obsessed with cinema he lives it, cutting memories against seminal cinematic experiences as real images and fictional stories dissolve into one another. Empower yourself and seize narrative control in ONO, Watch Your Step, as you manipulate Frankie Ng’s open-ended interactive video installation that employs Ono’s instruction pieces and intertwining viewpoints. Be spellbound by Vertical Submarine’s In The Movie, a video installation that watches people watching movies, that self-reflexively questions if it is possible to get into the industry without getting into it.

p-10 presents
And we took ourselves out of our hands (In search of the Miraculous) Curated by Guo Liang
Opening Reception: 7.30pm, 21 October 2004
Exhibition Dates: 22 October to 21 November 2004 (By appointment only)
Artists:
Bernd Behr (UK)
Grace Kwa
Lee Sze-chin
Tan Pin Pin
Guo Liang
And we took ourselves out of our hands… features an assemblage of new works by five young contemporary artists of varied practices and artistic backgrounds.
Although the works in the exhibition do not lend themselves easily to any identifiable ideology or cohesive theme, there are many common conceptual threads and historical groundings, and perhaps even sentimentalities (towards both the making of the work as well as the subject in the work), which are undeniably shared by the works featured.
The title of the exhibition itself partially borrows from the series of work, 'In Search of the Miraculous' by the late Dutch Conceptual Artist Bas Jan Ader who notoriously died making a work of art when he set sail alone in his small boat from Cape Cod in America to Falmouth in England in 1975. This historical reference to Late Conceptualism provides the framework for the works in the exhibition, reassessing the shifting boundaries between travel, history and modes of contemporary artistic practice in an emotional context.
