FX Harsono : Testimonies - Continued

This is so last term, I know. 

So last-last day in Singapore we went to Singapore Art Museum again. (Ahh of course!) free admission for Lasalle students :) But we had to go to school in less then 1 hour so we entered only one venue to see the 'unseen' before. Halah. See related post.

"I lost the notes I took," I confessed. Am confess-ing. 

" Sorry.." Am apologizing. 

Some of them can be understood by looking at the title, some of them need some time and thinking, some of them are 'best understood explained'. Does it sound right? Hahaha taken from 'best- served-chilled'. 

Nah. Found great article from NY Times, FX Harsono's Rebellious, Critical Voice Againts 'Big Power' in Indonesia written by Sonie Kolesnikov-Jessop. Thou shalt read now for further info.

I just realized most photos I took are the installations hahah - only these are 2ds. There were also bunch of great paintings I weirdly didn't click - coz I'm such a 2d person.

"Slim? You mean?" Hahahah!

And this was so 'my kinda art' back in junior high, what I had in mind about conceptual art.
