MALAYSIA

Posted on 2010-11-08

Living is easy with eyes closed. But it isn’t really that fun.

With the recent release of the Beatles’ entire back-catalogue on iTunes, our eye for unusual destinations drifted somewhat towards the psychedelic (Sgt. Peppers was arguably the best album?)

In our hunt for cellophane flowers of yellow and green to tower over our heads, we landed in Malaysia. The Belum jungle to be precise. Where one of the world’s largest flowers, the giant, rubbery (seemingly very fake, but 100% pure petal) Rafflesia grows.
Incidentally, Malaysia is also home to endless Strawberry Fields. Up in the Cameron Highlands the weather is a little more temperate than the tropical heat that slow bakes Malaysia’s flawless sun-bleached coastline. Which means from these cooler climes you can witness an impressionist’s vista of lipstick-red dots that do appear to go on Forever.

PATTERN RECOGNITION

Posted on 2010-11-01

Pattern Recognition is a group exhibition of works by Seonna Hong, Nikki McClure, Richard Colman, Dalek, and Souther Salazar.
A pattern is a type of theme consisting of recurring events or objects that repeat in a predictable manner.
Each artist’s work in this show is a direct example of visual pattern, whether they be simple and decorative,
such as stripes, zigzags, and polka-dots, or more complicated patterns, which can be observed.
anywhere in nature and in art, through our five senses. Shapes, sounds, tastes, smells, and textures all
go into the creation of higher order structures which are vital to our growth and adaptation to the environment.

Opposite – Seonna Hong

Exhibition runs from November 6th to December 4th, 2010
