Far West Exhibition and films

Hi everyone

It's Cindy again.
Just want to let you know that I went to see Far West at Arnolfini and Far West Metro at Galleries shopping centre.
Er... I would say... I am a bit disappointing...
Maybe I expected too much and when I saw the 'fairly small' exhibition, I just couldn't have too much feeling to it...
That clips talking about the artist look for soul in Japan was quite interesting to watch lo...
That 'from the Bank of Hell' exhibition in Galleries is very interesting for me.
All the 'Joss goods' there are what we burn for people who pass away.
It's part of Daoism custom, most Chinese people believe that we have next life and when people died, they simply live in an other world different from alive people.
Dead people would need whatever they had got when they were alive, so we need to burn them some luxuries, such as credit card, laptop, air conditioner, PDA, nice cars, and even Louis Vuitton baggage!
(yes, that's what I saw in the exhibition! so funny!)
As you might know Chinese people are pretty superstitious , so when me and my friend went to see that 'from Bank of Hell', my friend wouldn't want to step in the place!
She said it's very bad luck to see these 'Joss goods', and she wondered that if the artist who made this exhibition knew how Chinese people think when they see his/her exhibition!

Even the exhibition didn't impress me, I am still looking forward seeing the films!
I will see Manufactured Landscapes on Thursday, which is today!
It will start at 6.30pm and you can buy ticket from reception.
If anyone wants to join me, please give me an email.
Or if you have my mobile, send me a text if you decide to go in the late afternoon.

Regards

Cindy
