Lost and Found Exhibition Photos

My BAFA Exhibition Photos at Picasa

Almost there

We - my parents, Zdenek and Tonda - managed to paint and repaint twice the walls and install some lights. I framed my paintings, finished writing the names of the planets, prepared some alters. We covered hole in the 'wall', got rid of annoying rusty stuff and so on. A lot of work was done and still we would need one more day to finish everything. Here are few photos I managed to get of my cell phone. (My cell phone does not want to communicate with me nor my computer so I can't upload more photos. But here are few.)

Exhibition Space

Since Wednesday I try to do something with the space at KC Vltavska. I started by cleaning the place and then slowly I started to paint the worst looking wall. Now after two days the wall is more less white. I tried to get rid of the dust from the ground and from the wooden 'walls' but doing it 3x times and still getting no good result was a waste of time.

During night I was sewing my little sheets of fabric so I could stick my calligraphy on it. I was afraid that many things would go awry but in the end here's the result! (4x to bauhaus, my record today^^)
I though that the calligraphy almost ready and in place was a small victory today...after seeing the photo I can't say that I'm satisfied. Erm. In reality it looks good...
>BR?

With my friend's help we managed to set up the dark fabric that will form a background for my solar system. So on Sunday I'll measure everything and glue the planets onto the fabric. More things to come!

As for the rest...we will see on Sunday. There are few things that won't work out. I need to find an alternative and I need to find a way how to conceal the door and do something with the terrible space....argh. I spent time there to make it look better and it still does not feel ok.

Calligraphy - Shiratori Youko

For the second scroll I decided to write the name Shiratori Youko. Shiratori means Swan in Japanese and Youko is Western Girl. I used this calligraphy for my name seal. New ink^^.

Calligraphy - I'm going my way

Hm haven't done any calligraphy in few years. Probably needs more. My hand needs to realize that I need it to write, haven't used it in a while. ^_^
The ink is old and did not behave the way it should. So I need to get a new one.
EDIT: got a new ink, second version thus.

Exhibition Proposal

Concept
For the whole while studying at Prague College I was trying to find out who I am and how to express myself in various ways. I'm looking for my style. I'm looking for a way how to show my experiences through my works. The exhibition will feature several works that are direct links to what I like - Japan (and part of its pop culture - music games), Magic: The Gathering (representing trading card games) and part of a solar system (representing my interest in astronomy and science).

Space plan
On this plan you can see the measurements for my space. You can see two rooms and one long corridor. In the first room there will be items that are linked with Japan. My Fujiyama painting, calligraphy and Beatmania IIDX painting showing my hands and the game controller. In the other room there will be 'S'Tsung playing legacy' (where lagacy is written). There will be a table under the painting. On it there will be real Magic: The Gathering cards so you can link it with what I'm doing in the painting. On my side, there should also be some of the cards I altered (to be more precise photocopies of them - due to high cost of the cards.)
