那天隨了看 Tate Collection 之外,我還看了兩個特別展覽,分別是 Van Doesburg & the International Avant-Grade 和 Arshile Gorky - A Retrospective,兩者都相當不錯,但我比較喜歡 Arshile Gorky - A Retrospective,大概因他對我來説有較多新鮮感吧。雖然享受,但我沒想到 Gorky 其中一幅遺作的註釋會有一段令我想了頗多的話,所以很想和大家分享。
"When something is finished that means it's dead, doesn't it? I believe in everlastingness, I never finish a painting - I just stop working on it for awhile. The thing to do is always to keep starting to paint, never finish a painting."
Alexander McQueen,世界知名時裝設計師,亦是英國最具代表性的其中一位,他的設計別樹一格,剪裁特別,受各界喜愛,真希望他能繼續發揮他的無限創意,他可留給這世界的定還有很多很多;現在只能等待他的遺作在幾天後的 Fashion Week 發表了。Mr. McQueen, you will definitely be missed.
May you all rest in peace!
意外每分每刻都在發生,死亡也是,但小生命同時也在不停誕生,只能説 C'est la vie! 珍惜生命,珍惜身邊的人,既然只能活一次,就定要好好的活!

現送給大家 Zac Brown Band 的 Chicken Fried 歌詞 (下面有 youtube link) ,
You know I like my chicken fried Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up
Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine And that's home you know With sweet tea, pecan pie and homemade wine Where the peaches grow And my house it's not much to talk about But it's filled with love that's grown in southern ground And a little bit of chicken fried
* Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the radio up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love *
And its funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind; this I've come to know So if you agree have a drink with me Raise your glasses for a toast To a little bit of chicken fried
Repeat *
I thank god for my life And for the stars and stripes May freedom forever fly, let it ring. Salute the ones who died And the ones that gave their lives so we don't have to sacrifice All the things we love Like our chicken fried
Repeat *
You know I like my chicken fried
Cold beer on a Friday night A pair of jeans that fit just right And the legs straight up Well I've seen the sunrise See the love in my woman's eyes Feel the touch of a precious child And know a mother's love
I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
