Shin Ming Daily News reported the event


The Shin Ming Daily News reported the event today.

It appeared to be a well balanced report, covering my views, the National Arts Council's and the TKS studio's opinion.

i have to thank the reporter, the editor and surely not forgetting the Chinese Newspapers' adviser too.

The NAC claimed that i have under used the studio. NAC also claimed that i have not submit the half early report on my activities report.
Yes, i was away most of the time these 2 years, spent not running away doing somethings else but doing research and praticing my art! In this globalised and interconnected world, should artists stay put and hold fort in the studio and not travel? Or what should the minimium residency be in order to qualify?
On the activities(i did not recieved any as it was still sent out on the snail mail and not through emails) : may i humbily state that i was invited to participate in the 9th Cuenca Biennale last year [see enclosed images]. i did memtioned this to the reporter, but she had convienently chosen to forget. Or should i believe, it was her editor's that was moved by the ever present monsterous hand?
