Today is the third and final day of collaboration for Tiger Translate Copenhagen.
I’m updating this blog right now surrounded by 12 hardworking Danish, Chinese, Thai, Mongolian and Singaporean artists.
It’s like a United Nations meeting of artists here. All of them are putting their finishing touches on their respective artworks in time for the exhibition tomorrow.
The theme adopted for the Tiger Translate arts exhibition is “Change”. The idea is to present the artist’s interpretation of ongoing evolution of the world around us.
The Danish and Asian artists have been collaborating, and the past two days have been nothing short of interesting, even for those in our group who knew diddly-squat about art.
Song Yang, a comic artist from Beijing has been collaborating with Frederick “Clean” Dahl, a professional graffiti artist from Denmark. Instead of papers or brick walls, the duo was given a red rubbish bin to draw on.
Although they had only just met two days ago for the first time, the chemistry between the two is fantastic.
Song Yang started out sketching some very Chinese wushu comic book-style clouds and pagodas, and Frederick filled in the blanks with his own brand of Western-style graffiti.
Song Yang is also working alongside illustrators Miss Lotion from Denmark, Hrvrk from Denmark and Antz from Singapore on the 8-metre-long “Pass It On” wall.
The arts exhibition tomorrow isn’t just gonna be limited to those who knows how to use the paint brush. Rom Khampanya, an architecture student from Thailand came up with a multimedia art piece so incredibly unique that very few people seen it before.
To illustrate his interpretation of the theme “Change”, Rom created a series of “Before” and “After” pictures of different cities around the world.
This is the aerial shot of the Victory Monument in Bangkok as it is today.
This is what Rom thinks it would look like in the future – global warming causing the fall of civilization, trees growing out of buildings, massive flooding on the streets and the aerial shot of the Victory Monument looking as if it is crying.
What makes Rom’s artwork so special is that he’s not just gonna simply present them as a series of photos. That’d be boring.
Instead, he lets his audience holds a Nintendo Wii remote so that when they wave the remote over the “before” picture like a brush, it reveals the “after” shot stroke by stroke.
Le Fix is a group of Danish artists working together to build a physical art piece. At first I was wondering why they come to a studio carrying a pile of junk.
Then I was wondering how come they are building a house in the middle of the studio. Guess I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to find out that they’re trying to show us.
Hopefully it’s not a sign that they plan on living inside the studio.
The Mongolian artists are always the ones creating the most hype at Tiger Translate events, and it’s no exception for Copenhagen.
Sidsel Tuxen from Denmark and Bekheedei Bilguudei from Mongolia are both computer graphic artists who are collaborating to create an animated sand clock, using alphabets from various languages around the world as sand.
But the East-meets-West collaboration I am most looking forward this Tiger Translate is the one between Mongolian painter Ulziibadrakh Sonomtseveen and Danish photographer Liv Carlé Mortensen. And let me tell you why.
Ulzii speaks very limited English so the two are unable to communicate at length. But according to Liv, “you don’t need to speak the same language to communicate in art.”
On the first day of them meeting, the two of them showed each other their portfolio. Ulzii’s paintings are mostly mild but creative. But Liv’s portfolio on the other hand can only be described as intense and controversial.
One of the pictures she took was of her and her old mother standing in front of a car – fully naked.
Coming from a conservative Mongolian background, Ulzii was obviously shocked. But then, she popped him the question: Can she photograph him, nude?
He agreed.
The next day, the Danish photographer took the Mongolian painter to her church, met her priest and she photographed the both of them, lying in the middle of the graveyard – fully naked.
This East-meets-West thing is getting interesting. And I can only imagine what the end result of their finishing piece would look like tomorrow.
Would you ever pose nude in the name of art?
AD: Something big is happening this 25th September.
As the world celebrates the 250th birthday of a legendary black beer, one remarkable international act shall descend upon Sunway Lagoon to Let’s Get It Started. Tickets to the event are so exclusive that you might even wonder, Where is the Love? Well, stayed tuned ‘cos one way you gotta-get-get those tix, is through kennysia.com.
I got a feeling, that the night’s gonna be a good night. And no-no-no-no-baby-no-no-no-no My Humps don’t lie.
Are you going?
lol, i think they running out of idea, it’s easier just to photograph a nude body and say it’s art.
Oo..tht really true pic? ^O^
dude, just don’t you pose nude for a photograph..
would i post nude in the name of art?? NO!!!
would i post nude in a competition that allows me to win 1 MILLION dollars ??
YES!!!
if I win then i would post nude!!!! >.
Wouldnt pose nude for art myself, but i dont mind pretty chicks posing nude for my art ^^
Well, I’m not an art person, so I’m not going to pose nude for art.
If ppl wanna pay me to do it, it depends on how much they pay.. but i think I’ll just leave my pee pee to be seen/used only by me and my future wife.
TOTALLY NOT!
my body not nice lahhh.. =P
kenwooi.com
neh..pose nude? not going to do that.. It will spoilt the art only.. 😛
i wouldnt. for now. i like their story 🙂 cant wait to see what they will come up with 🙂
Why not? 😛
when you’re so into this art , even having a macro shot on your penis you will also agree.
who was sitting on your shoulder (during world stage)?
I wanna go for the event at Sunway Lagoon !
The way she holds her hands are …well it looks like something else
If every folds, veins, creases,dirt, scum and wrinkles of your body parts are handdrawn and coloured , that’s art la!
Taking off clothes and being photographed is not Art! It’s photography!
P/S If I put my swirl of poo on a white porcelain dessert plate with a dribble of yellow pee on the side, captured with a black/white background. Gosh, the yellow pee dribbles a tiny-dot-a-dot on the white plate surely make contrast in colour. I wonder, if this is art. Bleah!
this gal pose nude!

WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU BEFORE 30TH AUG SAME AREA.

I did B & W Photography in Aus before.
And this incident freaked me out.
In The Name of Art:
Siblings. Elder Sister + Younger Brother + Elder Sister’s Boyfriend. Brother took photos of nude Sister, Sister took photos of nude Boyfriend + Brother. Three of them in the same room.
IN THE NAME OF ART…….
***Photos came out from the dark room while I was waiting for my photos to come out. SUDDENLY! I saw big-assed photo of nudie-her! AND her brother collecting them.
OK. I dont know. YOU be the judge! *Pengsan dah.
Feels like they don’t have enough clothes or something… Of all ideas… why must nude?
@those who dont understand why they posed naked : East meets West right? so do the ways of thinking, both are different. To them , pre-marital sex aint a big fuss, to us , it is.
if i had an awesome body, sure thing! =P
