Exhibit Opening

The opening party for the latest exhibit of the Arts Lounge has just finished. I'm exhausted but I'm happy that it was successful.

I'l post about our featured artist and her work on my next entry but basically the theme of the exhibit was Khmer horoscopes.

We constructed a little canopy and got a fortune teller for our guests to have their palms read, their star signs interpreted and some card readings. It proved popular!

A lot tried it. Here's the fortune teller in action with one of our guests.

To simulate the effect of a starry night we covered the ceiling with black cloth and hanged 2000 pieces of ping-pong balls dipped in silver paint. We started lunchtime and finished around 6pm for the set-up. I'm always amazed how we try to push the team with all the crazy set-up we think of.

It was a nice turn-out of guests given that it's a Tuesday. I'm really happy. Now wish me luck for another sold out show.

People I don't wanna see in the Arts Lounge

OMG! I just have to take a picture of this. I'm so irritated when I see people with no manners. I don't get it, you simply don't sit that way in public places.

I'm a guy and even I don't do that.

Designing the Divine

Haven't heard of me for a few days because I was preparing for the opening of this one. I was at the gallery doing the lighting until 4am with one of the featured artist, Loven Ramos.

I was so tired but I really think our opening was succesful. I even sold 3 artworks! hehehe

Paghahanap ng Plastic na Flowers at Frutas

One afternoon, looking for plastic flowers and fruits for the next exhibit I'm curating.

Today...

Well what happened today...

Talked to Maei, our French-Japanese friend

Then I thought of taking pictures of The Arts Lounge.

Had dinner at Meric. Ate this squid pasta...

and the Khmer salad (a tad salty for my taste, though)

Meric is nice to have dinner.






And also the Belgian chocolate guy talked to me and Cassandra about chocolates.

I totally forgot his name. Um, well, sorry, probably next time when I see him I'll ask his name again.
