23rd sept

23 sept... day not to forget for various reasons.

Heard a very interesting quote today:
"(Modern) Art isn't meant to look realistic, if not, that would defeat the purpose of photos."

Bienale 2006. Believe. Some pretty cool stuff, some were plain gory though. The 1st exhibit was this dark room which lit up as one passed it. Saw a lamb to the slaughter... brutality at in its unadulterated raw form. The slash of the neck followed by the burst of blood from severed arteries and veins. Likened to that of slicing a water balloon in half. An artist with a self portrait of himself with a hole in his chest, a cigrette in his right hand and his heart in his left. There's a more gory one, but shalln't state it.
The documentary on the last meal was insightful, showing varying points of view.
The local art scene... a movement for decades, yet gaining momentum only recently, aesthetic beauty realised through contrasts, hues and tones.

"This exhibit isn't meant to be appreciated visually"

A wrong to right a wrong... vicious cycle.
