‘It’s so zen’
Thank you to K. for the great compliment on our photography work on IG, the other day on the stop in Taipei. I found out a lot of things that AI said about what I should check out were totally wrong and boring suggestions and then I wrote a long book on LinkedIn in an…

Art fairs in Southeast Asia
Not sure what I think about this, but then again, I have checked out long ago from the system that is the ‘art world’ so it might not matter to most people what kind of opinion I have. I mean, I quit art shool in New York because the stuckness of thinking what the artspeak…

‘We must not cease from exploration’
… a T. S. Eliot poem was always a great inspiration for me. We must not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive at the place where we began, and to know it for the first time. It’s a time of revisiting old things like this.…
