We have arrived in Singapore. Tomorrow morning Bertrand, Sandrine, Guschlan and I will head to Tanglin Camp where our installation materials will be delivered. Hopefully we will finish all installation work at that site tomorrow. We are still awaiting permission for using the Singapore National Art Museum as a site. Each site will be an A.Art LZ (Landing Zone). Today, we saw the realization of our main project - the publication. We are so pleased. It's been a work over a year in the making with many long Saigon nights. More details on this project after the opening of the biennale. I will be posting pics shortly.

Also, i picked up a mobile number in Singapore, you can reach me at 93554519. 

About the dirth of posts this month. I've simply been overwhelmed and frankly have fallen behind in a number of projects. For jobs alone, I'm busting out 52 hours a week between teaching and my work at the fashion company, which leaves me the rest to work on art projects, including the biennale. So, i've been strapped. I haven't died. (I called my mother to reassure her).

Come see the Singapore Biennale, opening on September 1st. Information  and our group (Mogas Station) at:

Sarasatr 10: situationist spaces
The national annual symposium on design, architecture, and related disciplines

Thursday 26-Friday 27 October 2006
Faculty of Architecture, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand

Situationist Spaces - the result of negotiation and consensus between reason and imagination and grounded in specific situations, initiated by specific groups, and may refuse to conform with any design theories or mainstream thinking. These are cultural spaces for laypersons – products of history written through the eyes of everyday people, communities that were not formed by the state, spaces occupied by minorities, architecture designed by non-architects, art without artists, advertising or magazines that contradict fashion trends, popular cultures, feminism, humanism, etc.

The Faculty of Architecture of Chulalongkorn University would like to invite designers, architects, planners, artists, academics, students, and professionals in all related disciplines to present their papers, or posters, in Sarasatr 10, so that Situationist territories can be explored and expanded. Join Sarasatr 10 and help create a situation that will provoke and conjoin.
