About Accessioning

Ok, I wonder whether I can come up with an exciting title; maybe I can change it later. These days I tried to do some accessing work, which includes registering and cataluging. I don't know it is lucky or not, for I got a kind of feeling which it is very hard to describe. During my intern, I find that I still have a lot to know and need much more to practise. I am a person who is never tired of finding knowledge in books but now I know that learning from practice is more efficient and useful than learning from books, though we need to learn from books because acedemic theory can elevate our work to a high status. With respect to cataloguing, I had knew this word from one of my course, but I did not try this until yesterday. I think the most difficult part for me is describing the artwork and checking the condition, because my native language is not English. After seeing the registra done this, I tried to finish several artworks on my own, and I did make it, and I did very well in playing the torch.

Annie Leibovitz's Exhibition in MCA

Today I headed to MCA to visit Leibovitz's photography exhibition. It is amazing indeed (sorry about the boring word, but...).To be honest, when I visit an exhibition, I always tend to pay much more attention to the artworks themselves not the way they are displayed, although because of my major I should do and I indeed now care about it more than before. However, today's visit was not very comfortable. First, the air conditioning in MCA was too harsh (at least for me) to make me stay longer, so I only had time to see and hardly had time to think much. Second, there were so many people and I hate staring one label with a bunch of people (my bad eyesight actually). Anyway, at last, I really enjoyed those pictures, especially the one capturing the American swimming team swirling in an underwater circle. I cannot swim :( but watching this photo made me feel as if I had surrounded by cool water and could swim freely. I was also very appreciate those large-scale photos in this exhibition (like printed ones...not sure), and they reminded me of Chinese calligraphic painting, which depicts no detail but contains rich conception; also like Impressionists' momentary style, just saying the beauty of this moment.

My head is spinning & cannot write anything

Oh, I am so surprised someone has already visited my blog. The design of my blog is still so plain, and I do not know when I can get this done. My camera does not work well now so...:( no impressive pictures, very sorry. I will be back after one week when the information in my brain is arranged well. And by the way, I can log in KE EMU now (such a waiting), but I find I am a limited user and hard to add anything; hope my supervisor will get it sorted for me.
