Tianjin, ma ville natale, est la plus grande ville côtière ouverte dans le nord de la Chine. C’est aussi une célèbre ville historique et culturelle. Et il y a beaucoup de patrimoine culturel matériel et immatériel. Parmi celui-ci, les figurines en argile Zhang de Tianjin sont très admirables et très estimables. En même temps, elles sont les premières dans le patrimoine culturel immatériel national. Elles ont remporté le vote du public en tant qu’œuvres d’art folklorique.

Les figurines en argile Zhang ont été créées sous la dynastie des Qing,  puis elles se sont diffusées et développées. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, elles ont déjà 180 ans d’histoire. Elles sont réalisées par malaxage d’argile, une technique traditionnelle en arts plastiques, et elles sont aussi décorées avec des couleurs, des accessoires, formant un style unique. Il s’agit d’un sommet de l’art chinois de la sculpture d’argile après la Dynastie des Yuan. L’histoire de l’art populaire occupe une place importante en Chine ! Les figurine en argile Zhang (sculptures peintes) créent des sujets qui reflètent les coutumes folkloriques, en s’appuyant sur les contes populaires, des spectacles de théâtre, ou la littérature classique etc. Ces oeuvres leur ressemblent non seulement sur la forme mais aussi dans l’esprit. Elles utilisent des couleurs simples et propres ; les matériaux sont de bonne qualité. Elles ne s’estompent pas facilement, ne se dissolvent pas dans l’eau, donc vous pouvez les laver. Elles ne se fissurent pas et on peut les garder plus longtemps.

Les figurines en argile Zhang sont des sculptures d’argile à l’intérieur, généralement de petite taille, hautes d’environ 40 centimètres. Elles peuvent être placées sur un bureau ou une étagère. Les figurine en argile Zhang de Tianjin ne dépeignent pas seulement la personnalité du personnage et elles montrent aussi le souffle de vie dans les temps modernes. Et elles sont proches du quotidien par l’émotion qui s’en dégage.

Les figurines en argile Zhang sont inter-générationnelles. Aujourd’hui, elles sont devenues les représentantes de l’art de la sculpture d’argile du nord de la Chine et l’une des caractéristiques de Tianjin.

It took us more than an hour to build and spruce up our 6-feet-Christmas tree with  medium-sized balls in different shades of purple and a few in aqua and navy blues. We used the old decors and kept it simple but nonetheless, it made our home more cheerful and ready for the holidays.  

Then my wife, Tina with our son Gabby and I spent another hour in arranging the contents of these boxes under our tree; after I brought them down from the upper part of one of our wardrobes, so carefully, piece by piece.

That  volume of boxes is only half of the collection of my dad-in-law who stays in Ca with the rest of my wife’s immediate family. The tags of the price per box and warning  signs for its lead coated wires are still there (FYI, lead if ingested will lead to poisoning and eventually to anemia).

After we’ve put up our tree, we’ve raised a village under it!

Don’t you find these ceramic pieces fascinating ?   Look at those snowy roof. Don’t you just wish for a white Christmas?

I like the attention given to those intricate details …

and that wonderful craftmanship and colorful use of pallettes made it really special

The facade of this church  appears so inviting!

and look, there’s a castle too! 

The structures are amazingly beautiful when put together side by side…

A community isn’t complete without its people.  So meet the happy villagers under our tree!  

Love is apparently in the air …even with just figurines!

Everyone is joyful when it’s Christmas!  Even chirping of birds makes anyone happy

I have seen and touched a ball of snow several years ago in Fresno and Sequoia National Parks (or was it in Yosemite?) and an episode of  hail  in Auckland, New Zealand.  I wish one day that I’ll get a chance to  bring my family to a real snowy place and together we’ll create a snow man  The kid-in-me strikes again!

Have you experienced a white Christmas?  How does snow man making feels like ?

Who would not appreciate the harmony and melodies from an orchestra or whenever a band plays, moreso if a choir serenades us with Christamas carols ?

Christmas is really for kids and kid-at-hearts !

Of course Christmas won’t be complete without those reindeers and the white-bearded-old-stout-man clad in red!

Ho Ho Ho Ho !  Have you been naughty or nice ?

When dusk falls,  it’s high time for the entire village to glow!     So let there be (fiberoptic) lights !

We’re done with our tree and the village with its people were already nicely put underneath. 

We haven’t started shopping yet;  afraid if there’ll be an extra budget for it!  ha ha!

However grand we plan and prepare for our celebrations this holiday, always bear in mind that decors and other material things are irrelevant to the ‘reason for the season’  

The biggest question is,  are you ready for CHRISTmas?

May all of us be happier with our families this coming Christmas and beyond!  God bless.

Belejligt afbræk fra Saybia
Tilbage i 2003 dansede Figurines ind på den danske rockscene som de store frelsere i en tid, hvor bands som Carpark North og Saybia lagde en tung kedsommelig dyne over musikmiljøet. Figurines fra det nordjyske Vestbjerg spillede udansk guitarrock og lød mere som en blanding af Built to Spills melodiske støjrock og en amerikansk westernby end noget, der kunne komme fra Danmark, og da slet ikke fra en forstad til Aalborg.

Siden debuten Shake A Mountain er der løbet meget vand under den nordjyske bro: Figurines har skrevet to velanmeldte plader, er blevet hypet betydeligt af det toneangivende Pitchfork, har turneret både i Europa og Nordamerika og har ændret i medlemssammensætning.

Alligevel virker det denne aften ikke som om, at der er sket noget nævneværdigt med bandet siden jeg hørte dem på Spot 09 i 2003. Dette kan muligvis også forklares med, at Figurines i aften havde valgt at lade fans bestemme sangene, da der på forhånd var mulighed for at maile ønskesange til bandet.

For meget af det samme
Efter en smuk solosang fra den karismatiske forsanger Christian Hjelm troppede de øvrige fire bandmedlemmer op og det rigtige set kunne til stor begejstring begynde med åbningsnummeret ’Divided By The Shore’ fra debuten.

Herfra førte Figurines det talstærke publikum gennem sange fra alle plader. På pladerne mærker man en udvikling fra album til album, men denne aften udviskes forskellene og efterlader følelsen af et band, der egentlig ikke har bevæget sig synderligt de seneste seks år.

Sangene kommer til lyde simplere end de egentlig er og særligt den nye keyboardspiller Jens Ramon er næsten ikke eksisterende i lydbilledet før det veludførte ekstranummer ’Race You’, hvor han spiller de bærende toner. Dette er synd og muligvis lydmandens skyld (!), da netop keyboardet kan være med til at give adspredelse fra de fyldige guitarriffs og dermed give lyden lidt mere kant.

Plads til klassikere og en enkelt perle
Trods den forholdsvis ensformige lyd lykkedes det bandet at sætte gang i publikum med klassikere som ’Debate Because It’s Over’, ’Silver Ponds’, ’Follow The Pioneers’, ’I Remember’ og ikke mindst ’The Wonder’, der fik de unge knægte på første række til at skråle om kap med guitarist Claus Johansen på omkvædet.

Aftenens højdepunkt og en undtagelse fra det trivielle udtryk er aftenens sidste sang ’Release Me From The Floor’ fra Skeleton, hvor bandet formår at kombinere tilbagelænet og melodiøs sangskrivning med støjrockens energi. Først på dette tidspunkt synes jeg for alvor, at bandet bevæger sig væk fra den forholdsvis simple formel, som sangene er skrevet over.

Alt i alt var aftenens koncert for tilbageskuende og ensformig til at kunne sige noget om Figurines’ fremtidige rolle på den danske og internationale musikscene, men efterlader et indtryk af et unikt dansk band, der kan mere end de fleste, hvis de undgår at sidde fast i den samme rille.

yes…time flies and we will be approaching the end of year 2009 soon!! as usual, jump will be hosting its annual main event jumpfesta 2010 this year (wonder if i should put it that way since jump has countless events every year)

the official site has updated some of the goodies that will be on sale during the event…some of the are really cool like dragonball MG figurine, limited edition character poster for hitman reborn! and gintama etcetc…i am sure there will be a lot more updates coming up so do keep a lookout for any new information on jumpfesta 2010 official website or keep close to this blog as i will update on any interesting findings from the website itself. cheers!!

find this really cute!! ^^

there are a total of 13 designs for this set….as shown below..

a closer look at the item itself (really sorry about the choice im a real big byakuya fan ^^)

salute! to the designers who came up with this innovative idea of presenting anime characters taking the shape of cookies (though it is not something new as the same concept has been taken by MEGAHOUSE for gintama chara fortune before)

even if such cookies are edible i guess it will still be hard for me to convince myself to munch on something so lovely =P

Moe goodness overload in this entry as Fate Testarossa’s Nendoroid version finally gets a full glance plus update as to where you can pre-order her.

In-line with the upcoming 1st movie of the ever so popular “Magical Lyrical Nanoha”, Fate Testarossa not only joins the Figma line along with Nanoha but she got her chance to be yours/ours as a Nendoroid version too.

The amazing thing here is that Arf, who we all know as the familiar who accompanies Fate throughout the show is added in this release although she’s in her puppy form (NOTE: she also has her wolf-like form).

So far, the said nendoroid will come with Arf and “Baradiche” in Scythe form plus some moe faces for enthusiasts to enjoy.

So Nanoha & Fate Fans unite as the said two items will head the shelves in the coming months with Fate Testarossa’s preorder opening tomorrow JST Time.

My blog entry Street Art & Galleries attracted a lot of comments some of them espoused a non-commercial ideal for street art. However, much of the free art on the streets appears to be advertising for street artist’s highly commercial enterprises, (see my blog entry Advertising & Graffiti). Street art is the most commercially accessible of contemporary movements; street art is far more commercial than even the Surrealism.  Street artists produce art from the high to low price range, from museum quality pieces to badges, and this allows anyone to purchase the artist’s work. Keith Haring opened shops in New York and Tokyo for his merchandise and generations of street artists have followed his example.

The marketing strategy of street artists is similar to that of KISS, the most commercially successful rock band ever. KISS gave extravagant concert tours at less than cost ticketing, as a promotion for the band’s t-shirts, figurines and other marketing spin offs that is KISS’s main revenue stream. Like fashion designers many of these artists also produce diffusion ranges – the number of sneaker, t-shirts and figurines by street artists is incalculable. Collectable is a sales feature for these limited editions designed by street artists.

Toys, miniatures and street art are not something that I’ve paid a great deal of attention to although I know that many well-known street artists make limited edition toys. It is not that I don’t understand that models making and miniatures are an art, especially after painting many models in my teenage years, it just isn’t my scene anymore. Dean Christ, who I met when he was exhibiting at the Melbourne Stencil Festival, sent me a link to some of his toys. These are not cute, they are very much boys toys. Dean Christ combines military vehicles with insect forms.

Street artists make many other promotional deals: from minor deals like putting a business’s name or logo on a legal work to major deals like local artist, Phibs’ YouTube video promotion for VB Raw. These many different income sources means that street artists, unlike most other artists, are not entirely dependent on gallery sales, arts council grants or other institutional funding.

Now I’m not opposed to artists making money and I am not criticizing these street artists mentioned for any of their commercial work. I am opposed to the idealism that generates the denial that street art is not commercial; a denial that is not unique to street art but is encountered in so many areas of the arts. Parts of the art world are reluctant to talk about money, as they want to be seen placing certain ideals above financial concerns. Medieval knights and royalty were not meant to engage in business or industry and some artists ape these antique manners. However, this is to deny the reality that art is connected to life, where artists have to live and make a living.

I am impressed with the marketing of street artists; many artists in history would envy their success. Many modern art groups wanted to be able to market their art democratically so that people of different income could afford it, however the technology and distribution market often did not support these enterprises. Marcel Duchamp tried producing men’s shirts, travel chess sets and picture discs (records with op art images) but there he was no internet to help generate international sales for him and none of these enterprises made a profit. The success of street art, an art movement that has spread around the world, is in part due its ability to be commercial successful.

So which of the Nendoroid Plus Vocaloid Roll-Back Vehicles is your favorite? Miku’s Leek car? The steamrollers? Luka’s t-tuna (lol) car? Cast your votes!

Fishs Eddy on 19th & Broadway is where I’m probably going to do the bulk of my Christmas shopping - at least for anyone who isn’t going to flip out over a metallic/embellished DIY accessory. The housewares are all so clever and post-rustic that I pick up nearly everything at least once and talk myself into needing it.

Staring Girl

Secret Fact: I love Tim Burton and his creepy little figurines.

Tv-serier og Hollywoodfilm nyder godt af indiemyten om autenticitet, inderlighed og coolnes. Indie høster til gengæld rekordhøje downloads på iTunes og kæmpe eksponering på det primært amerikanske teenagemarked. Indie er blevet stueren og befinder sig tilsyneladende fint frit flyvende i dette umage, men perfekte ægteskab.

Indie…
Det godt gennemkneppede begreb ”indie” er i sin grundform non-mainstream. Det står for noget andet. Det er i opposition til det ’falske’, ’det brede’, ’det populære’; det som ikke drejer som om musikken, men om profitten. Omvendt er dyderne henne i indiemiljøet ’det ægte’, ’det inderlige’, ’kunsten’, ’det kreative’ med dertil hørende associationer som ’ung’, ’hip’, ’urban’. Indie er imidlertid ikke hvad det har været, ville nogle iagtagere og gamle rotter i gamet sige. Indie er en kæmpe kultur og betyder i dag vel bare noget i retning af alternativ-kreativ, hvad angår musk, livstil, tøj og forbrug i almindelighed.

Indie betyder ikke længere uafhængigt pladeselskab, men måske snarere at man som person er indi(e)viduel. Indiemusikkulturen har imidlertid stadig sin myte og selvforståelse som original, inderlig, cool, ægte. Og denne myte nyder så hele livstilen i dag godt af: Indie er en urban hipsterkultur. Og er dermed frontløbere for populærkulturen i almindelighed. Det er her næste års mode fødes.

…og den populære ungdomskultur
I skrivende stund lytter jeg til soundtracks fra de spritnye film New Moon (teen-vampyr) og 500 Days of Summer (romantisk komedie) samt til musikken fra de amerikanske teenage tv-serier Gossip Girls og The Orange County.

En ting disse film og tv-serier har til fælles er, at de er ultra kommercielle produkter målrettet primært et amerikansk teenagemarked. En anden ting disse audiovisuelle populærkulturelle produkter har tilfælles er, at de i udpræget grad benytter musik fra indie-skuffen. Lad mig eksemplificere med Gossip Girls, som jeg lige har set for første gang.

Mest konsekvent og strategisk synes nemlig Gossip Girls. Det allerførste nummer, der ledsager de allerførste sekunder i Gossip Girls allerførste afsnit er det absolut største indiehit i nyere tid, nemlig Peter, Bjørn og Johns ’Young Folks’. Så er stilen lagt og scenen sat!

Indie alene i en fremmed verden
Musikken, som der er MEGET af, i Gossip Girls er ikke udelukkende indie. Omtrent halvdelen af seriens tracks er regulær radio-pop. Det er musik så poleret og plastisk som David Silvers: Timbaland, Akon, Rhiana og Will.i.am er i en skøn blanding med Band of Horses, Figurines, salig Elliot Smith og Death Cab For Cutie. Sidstnævnte er i øvrigt brugt i samtlige nævnte tv-serier og film!!

Indie indgår i det hele taget i en forening med alt det, indie ikke er. Tv-serien er ikke dummere end så mange andre tv-serier. Det er underholdning og lever op til det, den lover. Men den er på ingen måde original eller på nogen måde kunstnerisk interessant. Serien er desuden überkommerciel og helt vildt mainstream. Også indholdsiden er langt væk fra traditionel indie: serien foregår i et upper class snobbet Manhattan-miljø (hvor dog et par stykker af karakterene tager til koncerter i Willamsburg). Og så er alt andet musik i serien som nævnt langt fra indie. Ikke hermed sagt at den slags produkter ikke kan være inderlige eller kunst, men lad os lige holde track:

Det som er på færde er, at der benyttes ’non-mainstream’ indiemusik til at sælge og velsigne mainstream produkter. Men serien sælger også musikken. Så det er fair trade. SÅ gode “The Air We Breathe” med vores egne Figurines er bandets absolut mest solgte enkeltnummer på iTunes. Nummeret blev brugt i netop Gossip Girls.

Gensidig velsignelse
Soundtracket som foretningskoncept har været kendt længe. Man har en film og deri er noget musik. Hvorfor ikke også udgive en plade med den musik? På moderne markedsføringssprog hedder det Brand Extension. Man har et produkt med et godt navn (brand) og så sælger man noget andet under dette navn. Fx Harley Davidson, der også sælger parfume.

I tilfældet Gossip Girls er det uden tvivl strategisk. For her er det ikke kun det første produkt, der giver det andet produkt velsignelse. Her giver det andet produkt også det første velsignelse. Velsignelsen går altså begge veje:

Indie velsigner seriens indhold, giver værdi og overfører aura af cool og autentisk til serien. Serien smykker sig med lånte indie-fjer og indie-musikken giver seriens øvrige plathed en kvalitativ markør. Omvendt velsigner seriens navn og øvrige indhold soundtracket og garanterer, at det ”smalle” musik når et kæmpe publikum.

Paradoxet
Det paradoksale er her, at Gossip Girls i en og samme bevægelse reproducerer ’indie’, dvs opretholder dens myte og aura og mainstreamer på samme tid. ’Indie’ skaber som nævnt en slags balance og modvægt i det (for indie) uvante miljø det bruges i, men viser dermed med desto større tydelighed sine yndefulde egenskaber som netop indie. Indie bekræftes som indie og bliver dermed sjovt nok også mainstream. Funny.

Dette kan alt sammen lade sig gøre fordi ”lyden” eller ”atmosfæren” i den inderlige indie med tiden er blevet kulturel genkendelig. Den er ikke længere egensindig eller speciel. Eller svær for udefrakommende at forstå. Koden er for længst brudt. Alle kan afkode signalerne og de betydninger der ellers ligger i musikken. Og det i en sådan grad, at det kan bruges (massivt) på og mod det amerikanske teenage(pige)marked. Indie er blevet et brand.

Har indie sejret sig selv ihjel? Eller bare sejret?

—

Ovre på Gaffa mener skribenten, at indie har sejret sig ihjel (eller blevet slået ihjel af popkulturen). Læs en meget useriøs anmeldelse og en hidsig debat om New Moon-soundtracket.

På Drowned in Sound er de mere lødige

Faktisk er Sonic Youth også blandt bidragyderne til serien. Og tilmed medvirker Kim Gordon også som skuespiller. Her er 12 sekunder, hvor hun vist nok er præst!
