food project

Beyond the Boundary是我和Pila的展覽題目

我們各自有一些作品發展

也有合作的作品



展覽開幕當天剛好是Kellerberrin一年一度的street party，

所以就免掉了非常正式、seriously請貴賓來演講的那一套



觀眾自由進出，非常casual

也是我喜歡的方式，

－－ 不拘形式



My food project:



Tooooooooooooooo Salty !!!!!!






------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too Salty


Salination is a big problem in agricultural W.A.
I come across this issue with food, inviting people from the community to provide one dish of each own with too much salt in it to address the complication and seriousness that facing everyone in the area.
The salty dishes are kindly provided by:

Betty Dixon
Pat Lapworth
Amira Nyoni
Elvira Paron
Pauline Scott
Joy Wickland
Jeanette Williamson

and resident artists:

Prilla Tania
Julie Chou

Along with many other support from both the community and the gallery, a contemporary art feast is presented.

Wish you bon apitate!

開幕嘍！ Opening Up

展覽總算開幕嘍！但感覺也好像駐村就結束了。

好幾天沒好好睡過，

想想一個月要趕出這麼多作品，真不簡單。

自己也覺得欽佩自己！

Exhibition opening

New Exhibition will be opening on Friday, 7th December.

working like crazy

My dining table is also my working table.

See how crowded it is!

I am the witness

Coming back on a coach instead of a train.

The bus was all right, not so exciting as trains would do though.


There was a interlude on the way.
The female driver pulled the bus over at the town of Northam.
I thought that was the first stop to take more passengers.
And on to the bus were a woman and four uniformed plicemen.
They are not taking seats. Rather, they went to the back and started questioning a woman there. Then they took a baby and the woman down.
It seems to be related to a news of a baby was stolen from the hospital in Perth.

I just checked the ABC news. Yes, the stolen baby was found, and it is on the bus which I took.
I overheard one old man sitting behind me telling his wife 'Do you think we will be on the headline?'

They played movies on bus too. All these New York's silly movies.
It distracts me quite a lot. Otherwise I would enjoy the enormous land and seemingly emptiness there.
Anyway, feeling so much tenderness being home. (I'm telling Kellerberrin as my home now.)

For those who are interested, here's the ABC news on the stolen baby found:

Have a look.

first-hand experience at farm

Faye invited me and Pila to their farm to see the harvest.

Jeff was doing the harvest of barley.

She recommended me taking a ride in the header with Jeff, to get an authentic experience of harvesting, which was great.

The front part of the header is 11 meters long, with lines of blade.

Since they own big farms here, it takes weeks to complete the harvest, quite a bit hard work and toil.

Pila took the photos for me.

falling apart ...

Yesterday the bed in my room sunk from the middle.
I had to push up the mattress to fix it.
The mattress is heavy, made me tired.

Pila was over for dinner.
After dinner she found the table was in jeopardy of loosing one of its legs.
I went into the studio to find a broken hammer!

It seems everything in this building was falling apart.
I fixed two doors since my arrival, and get the router function again.
The drape fell down once.

I just hope the house wouldn't be falling apart either.

Two men, three camels and their car

Today I went to Telecenter to borrow the book "A man, his dog and a dead Kangaroo".


They do have, but someone borrowed it and hasn't returned.
The woman said IASKA should get one for themselves, because every resident artist coming in ask for that book, all wanted to read.

I walked out without that book, and seeing on street some strange scene.

Look like some one kneeled down with a lot of bundles on his back and everywhere on his body.
I hesitated for a few minutes, and decided to go closer and had a clear look.


It was three camels! Two men with the camels are heading to Melborne all the way from Perth. They said they got the camels from a camel farm in Perth.
Couldn't believe my eyes that in this heat, 3 camels showed up and resting under the shade in Kellerberrin, beside the Great Eastern Highway!

I didn't get the book of "A man, his dog and a dead kangaroo",
instead I found "Two men, three camels and their car."

(At back was a train running.)

IASKA and its current show

Hit the road

Pila和我，以及我們的小白車

應該這麼說，
Kellerberrin像是個somewhere of nowhere,
這裡的人和東後寮居民一樣，
都說鄉下地方，nothing to see.

事實上也是，白天，三位60 something, 70 something and 80的老太太輪流來gallery顧攤，
晚上，除了呼嘯而過的trucks和一、兩趟火車之外，安靜得很，
Pila早我一星期到，她很高興我來了，有伴，不然還真孤單

創作計劃在IASKA

Marco在路上說，咦，你不開車？是台北人都這樣，還是你是奇怪的人(strange people)？我說我是strange people,

然後他問"Do you cook?"我說："No, my mother does."

最後，我說"It seems a big waste for me to come to Perth since I don't swim, and you have such many beautiful beaches here."

他大笑說，"OK, Julie, I got an art project for you. You learn cooking, driving, and swimming at IASKA."

我大叫：NOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

冷

昨天半夜打的一堆字，
正要送上藝術村部落格時，
一按鍵，
全部跳不見了，泣 …

這裡晝夜溫差十分大，

在太陽底下很溫暖，
夜晚我用了兩台暖氣，呵呵呵

IASKA是個接待藝術家非常有經驗的機構，
有兩支手機供兩名藝術家使用，
一台車，冷暖氣機，

昨天和今天我和Pila已經開車到處逛
哦，不只，從我到達的第一天下午開始
Western Australia真的很過癮，
和雪梨、墨爾本的都會經驗截然不同。
Pila drives; I ask information.
So Pila seems to be my legs and I am her mouth.
We cooperate well.

哈哈哈，hairu，我也有同感，來兩三天了，總不覺得出了遠門，好像已經混合了美國、澳洲、東後寮…各種不同的地方經驗，最後也分不清彼此了。

Perth

Although first time in Perth, I feel it familiar, partly Sydney, partly Newtown.
I told Marco, it's a quieter city. At first he didn't get it. Then he thought of comparison with Sydney.
Yes, Sydney is much busier, and much more crowded.

Marco is from Rome, but has stayed for 20 yrs.
I asked him if he considers himself Australian?
Yes, why not? he replies.
Mmmmm,
as long as you can work and live, and have a good life here.
That was my comment.

night flight

夜間航班

跟空中小姐要了紅酒，灌它幾杯，想讓自己醉了好睡覺，
沒想到更是清醒，

都是食物惹的禍！

夜間航班簡直讓人胃口撐大

台北－香港，九點吃晚餐
香港－伯斯，再來一次，而且是半夜二點！
坐我隔壁的兒童餐十二點多就送過來，
吃完她大睡去了
我睜著眼等到兩點，
吃完、收拾畢，三點半了，
五點多又要吃早餐！
怎麼睡呀？

就這樣
一路無眠到了伯斯
幸好Marco很人性，讓我在伯斯的旅館住一夜

更幸好，Kellerberrin離伯斯兩小時車程，
不是Georgia說的8小時啦

差點被嚇到，以為將近十小時飛行後立刻接上8小時車程，
不坐暈了才怪！
