Lets get Cultured shall we?!!

Scene 23, restaurant, day.
Mr P - dude, i have tons of cash, help me hide it....
Mr A - its way too much man...I know, lets get something to show the world that we are cultured...
Mr P - HOW?
Mr A - lets get a Monet and a Van Gogh, add another couple of millions more on top of their offer price shall we....so they cant track where it goes....
Mr P - van gogh? monet?
Mr A - these dead guys will save you more cash in the long run....trust me man.

camera cut to an art dealer, rubbing his hands, gleefully smiling.

Monet's Nympheas
Monet's Saint-Georges Majeur au Crépusculea
an Gogh's La Maison De Vincent à Arles and his letter to his brother to Theo.
Therefore, there is an absolute reason why certain art pieces are considered priceless, pricey and lots of other silly contemporary artworks are priced absurdly. The galleries, the bienalles and binawes, other art fairs are the hotbeds of tons of wolfs, expensive wines, peppered with caviar and notable foreign accent.

Lets be intellectual, lets be smart and write tons of pretentious stuffs...cmon people buy this shit. Lets price it so high as rich people will be insulted if the price is cheap, the only way to entice them is to make it - priceless.


Lets pay one struggling artist or lets create one, milk him dry and sell him up. Fine, lets make him a superstar, train him. Market him. Wahahahhahahah, wahahahhahaha.

have fun reading this -

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Image
Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

Awesome Bowie Notes No 1.

Image
William Boyd collaborated with David Bowie - published this book as a hoax, presented as a real biography. "Nat Tate" is a combination of the names of two London art galleries, the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery. Boyd and his conspirators set about convincing the New York glitterati (social elites) that the reputation of this influential abstract expressionist needed to be re-evaluated. Bowie held a launch party on April Fool's Day eve, 1998 and read extracts from the book, while someone talked about Tate's friendships with both Picasso and Braque. About a week later, journalist David Lister,said that no one he spoke to claimed to know Tate well, but no one claimed not to have heard of him. In reality, it appears that few were fooled and most of the big names in the arts world (including artists, collectors, art historian, art dealers, New York based writers like Paul Auster, and editors of literary journals) quickly realized that Nat Tate ...
