TOP, © Ch’ng Yaohong, 2011 Hello, I’m back. Lost my soul somewhere along the way but I think it’s time I reclaim something that’s mine. Lots of life changes this year and I’ve been busy adjusting to things. Seems like the blogosphere has changed somewhat with the proliferation of Tumblr, Twitter and even Facebook. I [...]
Over the Lunar New Year weekend, I had a discussion on the local (re: Singapore/Malaysian/ASEAN) art scene with a relative of mine. He mentioned that recently, there hasn’t been anything new and exciting; shows were mostly rehashes of old works and the same old names kept cropping up. Admittedly, I have been keeping myself away [...]
Some quick links to share this week. World Identity Lab is an exciting global research project that seeks to discover and capture what identity means to us now. The first current project focuses on youths around the world and the results have been rather diverse and interesting so far. Check it out. The Nooderlicht festival [...]
© Ch’ng Yaohong, 2009 Got back home last night from my short trip to Mumbai. It was such a charming (and chaotic) city. Makes one feel alive being in a place with that much vibrance and noise. I’m still recovering from my flights and the drive down from Kuala Lumpur. Too bad I didn’t have [...]
A bunch of links came in the last couple of weeks and I will be sharing them here. First off, The Black Snapper is an online showcase of works by young emerging photographers worldwide. Each week, a guest curator helms the selection of works. For the launch, Abbas from Magnum Photos has chosen some really [...]
Just a mishmash of thoughts on a rainy Monday. Finally went to see the UOB POY show at the gallery yesterday. I flipped through the autograph book before I left and read some of the comments. As expected, there were your fair share of distractors who vehemently rejected photography as the winning medium. A friend [...]
If you haven’t read PDN’s article on The Digital Curator, please do me a favor and read it. Then hop over to Flak Photo’s Facebook page to read the ongoing discussion there. Come back here once you’re done for my two cents’ worth. I find the term digital curator to be very misleading. What I [...]
I’d be going for reservist duty again next week. Hence, there won’t be any updates for the blog. Been busy attending the various exhibition openings this week, although I wasn’t in the best of my socializing moods. Somedays I’m just tired of all that schoomzing. I would rather stay home with a good book and [...]
Since that I am cleaning up the blog, I have made some changes to the blogroll. I removed some blogs that have died over the years, a sad pity. But blogging really does take up a significant amount of time and energy. Other things in life do have a knack of creeping up at you. [...]
Alright, I think I have managed to safely upgrade the blog to WordPress version 2.7. I’ll be tinkering with the blog over the next few days to improve the user experience (time to get used to a new look!). Things have been getting pretty old around here and change is always good! Firstly, you would [...]
