Olafur Eliasson



One of the great masters in my mind, NYC, in 2006.

Pierre Huyghe



It is one of the master pieces I have seen here in The Whitney Museum (Biennial) , NYC.

Pierre Huyghe’s A Journey That Wasn’t will take place in Central Park rain or shine.

On February 9th, 2005, seven artists and ten crewmembers set sail from the Port of Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, the southeast point of Argentina. Their journey centered on a search for an unknown island and an encounter with a unique solitary creature that was rumored to live only on the shores of an unnamed island somewhere at the height of the Polar Antarctic Circle.

This adventure was the first part of a film. The second part, the representation of the adventure, will take place in New York.

Join us on October 14 at dusk for A Journey That Wasn’t, an orchestral musical in Central Park based on this journey to Antarctica. Using ice, atmosphere, light, and an original score--written by composer Joshua Cody and performed live on the ice by a symphonic orchestra--Huyghe will transform the distant island in Antarctica into musical form. New York-based composer and guitarist Elliott Sharp will be a featured soloist and musical collaborator on the project.

This event is both a presentation and a film shoot. Viewers will be invited to sit and watch the show, which will be presented three times in a row. Each time will last under 30 minutes and may include pauses to re-shoot. The filming will record both the show and the audience members who watch it, so that those present witness the spectacle and become extras in the resulting film. Audience members are encouraged to wear dark or neutral-colored clothing.

The event, organized in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art, will become part of a new film by Pierre Huyghe that will premiere in the 2006 Biennial Exhibition.

Artist Bio
Born in Paris in 1962, Pierre Huyghe now lives and works in New York. In 2002 he received the Hugo Boss Prize from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and in 2001 he received a Special Award from the Jury of the Venice Biennale.

Chicago Millennium Park



Cloud Gate on the AT&T Plaza
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.

Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high. Cloud Gate sits upon the At&T Plaza, which was made possible by a gift from AT&T.

What I wanted to do in Millennium Park is make something that would engage the Chicago skyline…so that one will see the clouds kind of floating in, with those very tall buildings reflected in the work. And then, since it is in the form of a gate, the participant, the viewer, will be able to enter into this very deep chamber that does, in a way, the same thing to one's reflection as the exterior of the piece is doing to the reflection of the city around.
-Anish Kapoor

一首




《一切從德國開始》



太多一個人

一個人在柏林
一個人在森林
得一張椅的廳
得一張床的屋
那一滴水

一個人的克羅地亞
一個人的德國
一個邊境
那一個誰

一個人在幻想
一些事
每一天都在

某一個人
那一滴汗水

太多某一個人

一個人的維也納
一天一個短訊
一晚的
那一𣊬間的

太多一個人
太多一個人的思念


華景的 那一座山
