Let it swim
I brought back this cute boutique leaflet from Tokyo back in 2010. Mili just pulled this out of nowhere, and I like the illustration pattern so before I throw this away, just posting it here for an inspiration. The boutique was called bulle de savon and it was so cute, too :)
Last Sunday, I tried to go see the art installation called “the event of a thread” by Ann Hamilton. And it was the last day… and of course it was PACKED. The tickets were all sold out online, there was an 1.5 hours waiting line outside (4 blocks!), I had to give up :( (If I wasn’t with 1-year-old, I would have waited in line.)
I’m posting the video of the installation here… Doesn’t it look magical?
Note to myself: Don’t wait until the last day!!
The first “Today’s Bridge” in 2013! We went for a walk in New Year’s Day, but my iPhone camera was too full to take any photos… It’s cold nowadays so it’s hard to go to the park, but I’ll be posting bridge photos this year, too :)
Here are the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge. Both are without any filters this time. It was a beautiful winter morning! (It’s pretty mild this week, thank goodness!)
Happy New Year 2013! It’s already going so fast, but let’s just do this! :)
We went to MoMA on the 2nd of January — the first museum visit in 2013. I renewed my membership, too, so you’ll see more posts from MoMA this year again.
My husband, Randy wanted to see this exhibition for a while: Quay Brothers: On Deciphering the Pharmacist’s Prescription for Lip-Reading Puppets. And wow, it was a total trip to their world…
There is no photography allowed, but I had to take this wall photo. It was so great not to. Just loved the calligraphy on the wall plus the display and caught my eye so much.
I loved the graphic design, drawings, and calligraphy part of the exhibition besides their films…
There are more in the theater area and that was awesome…
We also saw the exhibition entitled Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Garde:
Again, there is no photography allowed, but I loved this room with graphic design posters so I did a couple quick sneaky shots…
On the TV monitor, there was an animation by Tadanori Yokoo playing — I’ve never seen that before and I didn’t know he made such things back in 1970s and it was really great to watch.
And Tokyo Olympic posters in 1964. So simple and great!!
May your / our 2013 be filled with love and creativity!!
Now that our design blog has been fixed (and has a little bit of a facelift), I’d love to post more stuff regularly.
