2012 May : Feng Zikai Exhibition (Hong Kong, 香港)






Feng Zikai (1898 – 1975) was an educationist, man of letters and artist who excelled in painting, Chinese calligraphy, music and architecture. During the 1920s and 30s, he created cartoons using a style that was a hybrid of Chinese and Western techniques, with subject matters drawn from everyday life. They exude a humanistic concern through heartwarming insights into the most ordinary things. Feng had taught art and music in several schools, where he diligently inculcated the concept that “With life comes compassion; and with compassion, art”. The humanism in his art and his many publications on art education have inspired generations of artists and educationists. This exhibition will be presented under two themes, “Creating a World of Compassion” and “Cultivating Life and Soul”, with each selection providing us an in-depth look at this guiding spirit in a modern renaissance of the arts in China.


豐子愷(1898 – 1975),是一位擅繪畫、書法、文學、教育、音樂與建築的藝術家。從二、三十年代開始,以中西融合畫法創作漫畫,描繪抒情率真的生活意趣,又能表現對萬物關愛之情,細細道出尋常百姓家的點滴情味。豐子愷先後在不同學校從事美術與音樂教育工作,強調「有生即有情,有情即有藝術」的理念。他富有情味的畫作及大量關於美術教育的出版著作,潛移默化又深遠地影響一代又一代的藝術家及教育工作者。是次展覽將分為「人間情味」及「護生護心」兩個專題展覽廳,並分別出版圖錄,透過精選的展品,讓我們一同全面地細味這位現代文藝推動者的有情世界。

If you are still in a fuss, go to Chuncheon Festival. 

啞劇, 又非默劇, 是一種只用肢體來演繹情感的表演, 很難說得明, 如是, 不如去韓國江原道春川的啞劇節觀摩。

2012 May: Yeosu Expo (Yeosu, 麗水)


The city of Yeosu, a port city with abundant maritime resources, hosts Expo 2012 Yeosu. At this Expo, people from around the world will pledge and enhance their cooperation to protect the ocean for the future survival of the world. The main theme of Yeosu Expo is “The Living Ocean and Coast,” and various ways to protect the ocean will be explored during the event.

he water screen of “The Big O” had remained a carefully guarded secret until that night. Located at the Big-O area, Yeosu Expo’s main stage over the sea, the 47-meter “The O” water screen shows off diverse images created by laser beams, flames and smoke in combination with about 400 water fountains built as part of the 120-meter-wide floating body.

my advice is, dont try to visit in the first month, the media flooded. and  not in july as the package tour rush.

NOW, you can ride on ferry from Yeosu > Jeju.  It takes 3 hours per ride and the price is 40,000 won. reasonable price isnt it?

2012 May: Macao Arts Festival 澳門藝術節 (Macao 澳門)



Macao is always my favourite place to getaway even before the casino biz blossomed.  With good food, nice view, slow pace and the Portugal architecture, it is one of the place that will make you have an illusion that you are not in any part of Asia. 


One reason for that is the tradition of holding art and music festival. Disregarding the crazy gambling tourism, Macao well preserved art life and the government is willing to pull in more money on the content than the advertising. (You know which city i'm talking about on the opposite then)


The curtains will soon rise on the 23rd Macao Arts Festival. Amidst intense fervour and excitement, the Cultural Affairs Bureau would like to welcome all aficionados of arts and culture! This year, Macao's annual grand arts event will include 33 programmes, rich in diverse and outstanding content. The effect on the local arts scene is sure to be electrifying!



第二十三屆澳門藝術節即將開始,我懷著興奮與期待的心情,向所有熱愛文藝的朋友表示歡迎。這項本地區的年度藝術盛事,今年共有三十三項內容迥異、各具精彩的文藝節目供大家選擇。藝術匯聚,火花奪目。
多年來,澳門藝術節以“推動本地藝術發展,弘揚中華民族文化,傳播世界優秀作品”為己任,積極發揮藝術力量,建構文藝交流平台,獲得良好的讚譽及口碑。...

Where: Macau, 澳門
When: 1 May - 2 June
How: The easiest way to get into Macau is to take ferry from Hong Kong, just an hour will bring you there.
