The Grand Tour ends
The grand tour (without Art Basel) finally ends.
I was planning to post what i have seen on the road but it was too much for my O2 without a proper wifi connection in the hotels.
There are so much to organise after the tour. Tons of emails. Tons of photos and video clips and tons of HK news to catch up….
ye…still need to draw 嘰嘰格格 this week….which is pretty harsh.
Munster (interesting mixture of the present and the previous works…though I like the old works more, which were… 10 years ago)
Kassel (quite disappointed…honestly)
Venice (ye…getting bored)
Tired of Art. Certainly.
To my surprise, it was Janet Cardiff / George Bures Miller’s exhibition in Darmstadt that catched our eyes. It was a small exhibition (in terms of number of works) but the diversity of her works really gave us very unique art experiences.
Though i have seen it in White Chapel few years ago, I was still impressed by the work “Forty-Part Motet”, which works very well in the unexpected huge space.
