Cycles of work, event, and eat/sleep

Updated: April 13, 2009

It's been a great year going to events, meeting you and making new friends. But our careers are keeping us busy and we won't be able to keep up with the demands to keep up with the event alerts. We will post our reviews when we have a chance from time to time.

Please see right panel for sites we check for unique and fun events from less well-known organizations. See you there -- and don't forget to say hi

Love, peace and music, Jade & CHRIS - )

Artist’s Talk by Daisuke Takeya (April 10, 2008)

Organizer: The Japan Foundation
Cost: Free!
Pre-event estimate: 4 out of 5
Post-event rating: 4 out of 5

I consider any form of artwork a concrete expression of an artist’s emotion and thoughts. I respect this intimate connection and do not want to interpret the artwork through my own bias. This event offered a rare opportunity for the artist to tell us the story behind his creation. Daisuke explained how he started “Everybody loves me” collection. It made me sad that some adults say or do things when they do not really mean it. I also wondered why the model in the protaits looking directly at me made me feel uncomfortable—Am I keeping a distance with others for fear of being hurt again? I think this collection will stay in my memory for a long time.
