Introduction

Description

Notes on the exhibition:

“When I was an undergraduate, teacher Phan Cẩm Thượng who taught cubism once said that cubism is the first impressions of smashing things. That its fetus is most palpable at the later stage of old master Cézanne's oeuvre, that his artworks were not cubic but rather an integral component that later led to cubism. At that time, I gradually got the hang of it, and now after twenty years, I am still in that almost-comprehending state. Does that mean I haven’t outgrown or that I haven’t old-grown?

Every Bilious Honeymoon closely ties in with what was said above. Like the first-stroke sense of cubism, it resembles a post-confession state in which one begins to toil over collecting and gathering bits and pieces, in less of an unintentional manner and more of a hopeful state hinging upon the possibilities of something that is to be soon born out through means of restoration. Such acts of restoration would work at times and would not at others, or only serve as an admission of a broken fact right off the nose. Most realistically, one should prepare at least for a known-to-be-magic 502 glue bottle, and hope that it would be of use? When unscrewing the lid’s can, what we see most often is “Good luck next time”, and that next time actually exists.

"Every” is not “one”, it is rather magnified into a nature of repetitiveness, frequency, pulses, tempos, an un-diminished continuity.

“Week” as in an approximate rule of time, span-like, turn-like, whose medium followed by days, hours, minutes, sections that when calculated when multiplied at times become meaningless. Thereby, people keep saying: a tea-drinking queue.

“Moon”, one finds it harder to speak of something with the moon. Moon skims around. Moon insists. Moon is sometimes aggressive. But the moon brings forth senses of ranges, geography. Moon is never nearby, moon is always far upstream-wards, henceforth in proximity with oneiric sensations; don't ever dream of such!

“Bust out/vỡ”, whose newest and most common synonym seems to be “bust out/toang”. If the use of the word “bust out/toang” is commonly seen then “bust out/vỡ” has become much rarer.

“Bibe” is easy to define: bitter-hell."
