Jeff Koons

I just read a Jeff Koons interview. Now I have high respect for him. For instance, he says:

"...art is about people, life, experience. It’s about giving attention to the viewer so that hopefully they maintain enough confidence to experience communication."

Yeah, I totally agree with it. He also says:

"What's most shocking is honesty. If you’re really honest with yourself, that’s what people really find most shocking."

Yes, I agree!


Also, like him, when I was a teenager, music was a form of art which I came into contact with how powerful art can be. It was a very moving experience for me, too and I thought, “I want part of this.”

Geisai Museum in Tokyo

I did a show at Geisai Museum in Tokyo last week. It was a lot of fun but I was very stressed out because I had to carry a lot of heavy baggage! One day when I can afford, I want to ship them all. There're 608 artists at the show. I was amazed with many talented artists there! It's worth checking it out. I would definitely check it out even if I don't exhibit there. They have two shows a year. I love a show like that an artist creates art for art's sake.
