Should we stand for something?

Of course, we should.

Was reading balakrishnan comments on Simon Birch killing of pig artwork.

And the critique of Bridget (director of NAfa gallerY) and how there was no further comments on Birch's work.

At least she should defend the work according to her belief. Sadly, she only responded once in the papers and nothing else - in fact, leaving it at 'no comment'.

Such a pity, it was a great opportunity for the public to understand more about art.

Wasted chance, lah.

Seriously, this work doesn't deserve such response but it still did. That is how art provokes, I suppose.

Write in to protest the iraq war - make your stand - fight for what u believe in ...

I hope there is more pro-active people out there. They should get together. AFterall, it is what we stand for which makes meaning in this world.

I am at this stage keen to make this social enterprise work - it is an experiment to see if socially conscious effort can survive. Can the people support an enterprise like Post-Museum which wants to put culture in people's lives?

Can Food #03, who wants to provide a platform for change of business practices and conscious consumerism work in a ultra-practical society in Singapore? Both these projects are driven by utopian ideas which are developed in my cultural practice.

This is a call for change. All the best.
