那天去高院聽民間電台案宣判,點知法官宣讀都懶,發了判詞就算.比預算早了點空,就去了鄰近的hanart看香港大世界,展題,好像就是同我提出北京的小香港開玩笑.其實幾鍾意這種有關的就擺落o黎的策展方式,反而覺得老實點,眾多城市面貌都不一定是香港藝術家搞出來,香港藝術家多反是有些抽象而變得夾不來.
我對於白雙全的展出作品(其實也和一些其近來的作品)很有意見,雖然他在天星幹那時,那天我剛巧在,還在blog提到過,但我始終覺得,把不同的人們各自繫在天星的黃絲帶換轉成一個人(一式一樣)綁的,這本身很有問題.而且拿舊的去收藏,現在又拿來賣.(那天在c&g,給他指出樓梯仍張貼著的wwy那義診的海報,雙全也就同樣隨手摘了下來,早知我都貪婪點啦!),而且雙倍長的黃絲帶,可能由於更礙眼,加速了它們被拿掉也不定.

那天我的talk談到ripping off,其實阿luke的展出作品,可能也同值得研究.我今天就找到了另一set人像,選了些放埋,給大家猜猜,畫的是那幾位藝術家,而被畫的又是那藝術家,藝圈人物或政治人物,我相信,能把這94-95年間的一set放在hanart,其實更過癮.

After having post the clip of Where the Hell is Matt? sometime ago,
I saw lately a variation of it, but an ad for a credit card company.
this time not an imitation, but with Matt in it.

I felt quite outrage about it really,
(maybe even more? than if it is an imitation)

though I have not been in any of his video before,
but I have help spread this then"seemingly innocence" idea!

If these new clips are retake,
with hired actors, than it is "fake".
(and they are still depending upon the "generosity" of the people that help build up the project before it.)
if they are not, people in it are being exploited.

For me, either way is quite a wrong place for this project to end up with.
(but if it is not the end, as more people then know about Matt and share the previous clips?)

Maybe, the case hurts most for the words in the ad is definitely over the top, that he travels everywhere without using every local currency, which I bet is exaggerating and thus a lie!

This idea of something universal, might be in tune with Matt's project, but at the same time, this accepted worldwide credit card affording travel without even paying attention (finding this part of the experience) to the variety of local matters is exactly the worst kind of attitude that a world traveller could have.
As an art historian, Shearer posited that
many of Marcel Duchamp's supposedly "readymade" works of art were actually created by Duchamp.

this is the link to the Shearer's paper I mentioned in the talk.

I also just know about it from wiki while preparing for the talk.
But this paper surely has no impact and has not been influential,
despite the one who write it has an interesting background,
including the checkyourfacts.org website etc,
that aimed at dispersing hoax!
the artist talk has been held, hope it is something worth it.
thanks to C&G, artists n friends that came,
as well as those I do not know, and those who wish me well over the talk.
I have decided the related materials might best be placed under the fair enough heading, so do check out its blog if u're interested.

and for those who have attended, I could be grateful if you could share what you think of the occassion here or personally.
