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 - )

Leacture by Gordon Hatt on Kara: New Paintings by Daisuke Takeya (March 27)

Organizer: The Japan Foundation
Cost: Free!
Pre-event estimate: unable to assess-first time to lecture on artwork
Post event rating: 3 out of 5

One of my goals this year is to be more knowledgable on visual arts. This event fit the bill completely. Gordon Hatt pointed out how details in Daisuke’s paintings such as dark alleys and grey-colour sky reflected the artist’s personal experience at that time. I also got the opportunity to ask Daisuke a few questions directly. But the part I enjoyed the most was the lively discussion I had with other participants. We had such a great time that the staff at the foundation had to wait for us to close the place for the day! Needless to say, we made plans to attend the Artist’s talk on April 10!
