Fly Away

in politics, we have democratically elected populist clowns. Cant blame them coz they need to show they are doing something or polish their superior's balls. This clown entertained the whole nation when he wanted to launched our national "flying car" in Langkawi, LIMA 2019



2019 ( the Year of the Blade Runner ) - where we have gloomy neon light powered skyscrapers and all the vehicles are flying. We are heading to 2020. A new future. At least i pictured a Delorean.


 
A prototype was shown to Tun. Tun is a car junkie to be honest, at 93 he still kicking assess, driving around while rest of the old people wither, stuttered or hospitalized counting the days of the young. Anyway back to the prototype.






Guess millions of bucks thrown in to get the ball running and as usual Malaysians had a field day laughing. I personally went to Lima and to get a closer look at the horrendous idea and told that they packed it away.

But this post its not about bashing this clown.

Fast forward to May 2020, we have a new backdoor government ( this clown is in the cabinet too ). Defense Minister announced that on 7-10th May, everyone is permitted to do inter-state travel, a pregnant lady bought Covid to Kelantan.

On Tuesday 3,212 vehicles all across Malaysia were stopped and told to turn back.

Imagine the prototype of the flying car is successful.


But afraid not, we dont need a bloody flying car, just like Air Asia's tagline - with MYVI, everyone can fly.

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 ...
