Taipei Trip again (Dec 2012)

[hangchoi]

My lunch was a "Mine Worker Lunch Box". It costs me NT$220, which included a wrapping cloth with the map printed, a metal lunch box and chopsticks.

The food was actually rice with fried pork chops. Taste? Not bad.

The last day, we went to the Contemporary Art Museum. They just have an exhibition of an artist whose name is Li Shan. All his works was to pose a question to us to think. What will life be if we can change our life by modifying DNA or bio-engineering? Are we still human being by doing so?

With that in mind, all his work were mixing human with some other animal/insects, etc.. This time his main themes was dragonfly. He put dragonflies' feature (the long wings) into other animals.

See this......It really looks like real wings of dragonfly......

After that, we headed to Taiwan Airport. It seems that they put more art work in the airport now.....

And that concluded our trip......

They also have marine and air force.....

Are these miniature or full size sculpture?  Quite impressive.

Full size. I would like to go there again if there is any chance.

Some other works from Ju Ming......I think you all can feel somehow the meaning of the second one.....

It just happens that Ju Ming has an exhibition in HK now. I went to see it yesterday, to see his recent work.

The exhibition is held at HK Museum of Arts. You need to pay $15 to enter but they put some of his work outside the museum, those works are scattered at various corners around museum.

At the entrance, you see the soldiers with parachute, and his famous line-up sculpture is put at the entrance of course.

The one I mentioned on page 2 of this post is similar to this one, also made me feel of the movie "pickpocket". This one is not the one I saw in Taipei, but given the light shower yesterday, the mood appears well....
