iPoding | What's that in your pocket?
iPoding | What's that in your pocket?: "I have been looking for ipod mini for two or three months...none of the electronic stores around here has it in stock...so i decided to ask the clerk at Circut City just for kicks. She told me Meier & Frank has it. So Quickly i drove there.
Joy There it was three of them!! blue blue silver.
i snatched the blue and spent sunday with it.
yesterday, may 17, 2004 Monday...the iPod mini belt clip came off of my pants because i was squatting...ouch...the bottom of the metal shell is nicked a little bit...poor pod...i stroke it and it's okay now.
I clip it on my back now when i squat over the floor doing various art projects such as stretching canvas."

Monk (yellow robe)
The inspiration for Monk (yellow robe) came from attending the Kwan Yin temple near North East Glisan. The image of the yellow robe monk stayed with me after many prayer sessions. I try to recreate this vision inside the studio. I started with an acrylic layer to sketch out the shape because it was quick and easy, the medium allows me to work right away. It was meant to be just a sketch but a year later I went back to this painting and apply several layers of oil and abstract the image further to extend beyond the reality and into another element. The small paintings are precious and most of them are done quickly and spontaneously but always going back to further improved upon after a time.
'Duc Ly's paintings are textured abstracts that hint at Asian or perhaps Extraterrestrial Landscapes. His oil painted on Mylar is an exquisite vision of the moon surrounded by shapes that could be alien pictographs or characters from an exotic tongue.'
- Dave Johnson, The Asian Reporter
'An acrylic on paper, titled "Gate VII"...shouts bright swaths of color while muttering subtle passageways to the unknown.'

shape of loss
I met with Stephen; and I really liked his project. Do you know of others
I might try for the show? I am thinking one or two more photographers.
Also, if Stephen decides to participate I think the title of his work might
be a wonderful starting point for the title of the show "The Shape of
Loss". So maybe the show is driven more by loss and memory's role than just
a general idea about memory? This is what I am thinking now. So if you have
any names please pass them onto me. Another issue is how much space will
you use for display of your work? Let me know. Thanks Duc!
Oh I'm glad you meet with him. I was going to send him what I wrote up quickly just to brief him about our wonderful and spontaneous discussion of memory and art work. So I hope you explained it to him and will be great if he participate. What's holding him up?? I couldn't get him to display for the Now and Zen show. He is being coy?? Ah yes I remember the title and I like this shape of loss.
I only saw a few images of large statues from this one photographer but I don't know yet. Let me think about this and it will come to me soon.
You said we can have 8-10 pieces each?? My frames will be 11 x 17 ish...

jam
Hey Duc,
I am hoping to get the guitar today. Saturday I went to my old teacher "The Bridal Shop Guy", ha ha, he has a classical guitar shop in there now too. I played 2 guitars I really liked, they are handmade by Michael J. Danielson, a guitarmaker in Richland, WA. One was spruce for 700 bucks and the other cedar for 1500. He said he'd throw in a free hardshell case too. The 1500 dollar one is maybe a hair better sounding than the 700 dollar one, but if it is still available tonight I am going to get the 700 dollar one. I can't justify paying twice the price for maybe 5 percent difference. And at another store they said spruce gets better with age while cedar stays about the same, so it could even out.
I also went to The Guitar Center in Clackamas and played some used 1,500 dollar guitars. Pretty sweet but not any better. I played one for 4 grand too and it didn't sound hardly any better than the others. I checked out Pioneer Music co. yesterday downtown and they had some cool ones but nothing that great.
So I'm going back to that weird bridal shop in Miwaukie today and hopefully will get the 700 dollar one. I'll let you know if I do.
Yeah dude, we will have to jam! Maybe the weekend after this? I am going home for Mother's Day weekend. That CD sounds great, I would love to borrow it from you sometime. I love the sound of Di meola's playing. I was going to take my sister to see Dan Balmer last night but she was too tired.

north view
just woke.
Cool!!
What happen was that we had a conversation about artwork. She wanted to take this old suite case to the goodwill store but it had trigger so much memories that she could not part with but not willing to face it head on either. So the suitcase because this marble thing, an art object. To make a story short, I thought about my suitcase too and objects that I held on for a long time. So the photographs for me is a journey back to the memories I had as a kid making origami boats. Recently I've started to be more direct about this and made boat origami for photographs. I thought that your images have feeling of reaching towards the past and to me they are about journeys. There are many levels of interpretation of the marble suitcase, which I think your photographs do too. It is ironic that the suitcase is heavy as stones. It illustrates the cliché of the emotional baggage, which weighs on every one. She thought that it was ironic that my photographs of the paper boat can't really traverse in water. I thought your photographs would add an element of the river into this journey, memory theme. Or how one would wash in the Mythical river of Lethe [?] to forget. We were working in two very different spectrum of material hardness to express the same ideas. Anyhow, I think this is how she decided to select the theme for the show. Plus I like the writing that accompanies the photographs of your River Series. So try to work this in somehow.

Hi Duc,
I just wanted to touch base with you about the possibility of a photography
show at PCC. I am interested in exhibiting your work and perhaps the work
of 3 other artists. It would be really cool to include people whose work
somehow uses photography as a way of conjuring up the past in order to
grasp experience. Do you know of anyone whose work you think would fit this
idea? Let me know. The show would be in Fall 2004, probably November to
December.
Marie
P.S. Thanks for the dinner meeting; I enjoyed talking with you.
Hi Marie,
So glad to hear from you too. I enjoy the conversation and it really got me thinking. I'm excited and looking forward to the PCC Show. I can think of Stephen Miller. He began photographing the river place where his brother drowned...it's a very sad but also therapeutic project for him. I'll make some query into this and let you know. I'll contact him about this to see if he's willing to show this work.

I went to see Catherine Opie's Surfers over the weekend. I liked some of the
pictures of the surfers taken very far away, so the surfers look very small
in the vast ocean that blends into the foggy/cloudy sky. I looked at some of
her other photos in a book of her work that was at the gallery and saw that
she did something in the same vein with houses and snow. Pretty cool.
There were some other interesting exhibits that I'll have to tell you more
about.

Diner with Maria Sivak. We talked about art, inspiration and process. During the dinner with Maira: boat journey metaphor suite case as metaphor. She believe an object has the power to contain memory. she found a suite case one day. she was going to give it away to good will but found that she could not. she put it in the closet.
god...why is it so slow to write about this wonderful conversation. i wish that i had record this. i want to buy an mic for my minidisc.
She got me to think more about my project. i casual made origami abstract piece which i kept with me for a long time...then i photographed it one day out of the need to tinker. and now begins an obssession with the object.
I saw this sculpture who made a long boat and then set a carcass of a rib of an animal on it.

SEG APARTMENT BLOCK REMISE
back
VIENNA, AUSTRIA (1994-2000)
The project establishes a counterpart to the conventional Vienna housing blocks. The closed building block is broken up and rearranged in an open and differentiated building volume. In order to keep the density of the building block the cut out volumes create a rooftop landscape. This creates open spaces, like air pockets in the structure, which provide for common spaces, public and semi-public spaces and private terraces and gardens. The majority of the apartments are maisonettes with a two story living room and a glass facade.

Charles Wright
March 29, 2004
Charles Wright is the author of more than a dozen volumes of poetry. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry and the National Book Critic's Circle Award for Black Zodiac (1998) and the National Book Award for Country Music: Selected Early Poems (1983). His poems crystallize the space between memory and imagination. Critic David Penn has said Wright's poems bring "a sense of poem-making that's as exquisite as a blueprint by Taniguchi or a castle made of sand." Wright's poetry, whether drawing from the experiences of his rural Tennessee youth or his years studying Buddhism, steadily works towards transcendence and transformation. Perhaps poet Donald Justice puts it the most succinctly, "A Wright poem is an expedition into the territory of the beautiful."
His books include Buffalo Yoga (2004); A Short History of the Shadow (2002); Negative Blue (2000); Appalachia (1998); The World of the Ten Thousand Things: Poems 1980-1990; Zone Journals (1988); Hard Freight (1973); two volumes of criticism; and an award-winning translation of Eugenio Montale's The Storm and Other Poems (1978). He teaches at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville.

I used to own a pair of Martinique green pants. when I traveled to Hungary or Poland I bought byblos blue v neck sweater. I have a white soft cottonfield sweater that I like and am wearing it today. I found a bottle of Byblos collonge in a cheap department store, t.j max i think.

Hi Yeah, that was good writing. My writing's going fine. At least I'm making

moods. So I wrote some stuff about that before I went to sleep, but didn't
write much since it was very late.

happy st. paddy's
Oh I'm Hungarian don't you know....hehe
I would make the time to have lunch!!
Too bad you are moving out of Oregon!!
Okay Let me know about it when you come by...I owe you lunch at least. If you are still interest in the Gate painting and can do $600 just for you.
My bro said it snow in NY yesterday.
I'm putting together a show as a curator for the Gresham Art committee. The show is call Now and Zen. Just bussy entering shows. You are such a cool Art Executive Director. What do you plan to do now?? What about Chris??
You must having a great St. Paddy's. It's so sunny here in Portland now.
-hope to see you soon!
I'm so sorry for my delayed response. I was swamped with getting my
replacement trained and then spent some time in New York with my sister.
Just got back last week.
It was great seeing you. How are things in your world of art? I'm thinking
I'll be in Portland within the next few weeks, and it would be nice to have
lunch, if you had the time.
I'm actually considering between Portland and Denver for my June move away
from Roseburg. I love Portland, but family is in Denver... Decisions,
decisions...
Hey, since you're Irish, are you drinking Guinness and celebrating St.
Patrick's day?
Take care, so great to hear from you.

now and zen show update
March 16, 2004 Tuesday
Dear All Participating Artists,
Because of the overwhelming response, I've made an executive decision to limit two works per artist, which reflects the restraint nature of Zen, (and because oddly enough there are two simple words in the title of our show). I thought this would be an interesting criteria, the Now which expresses the immediacy of moment the present and the Zen, an indescribable word which I hope all of our art works will not so much as try to reflect this but just be. I've tried to answer questions about the nature of the show and I find it hard to express this in words. So hopefully being limited to two works which vaguely express the nature ‘Now and Zen’ should suffice. The works that I have chosen did not really require much thought and mainly came by as I thought about these art works that keeps coming back to my mind or through coincidences that I came to discover your works! Strangely this has defined the work that I now want to pursue. Putting together a show of this nature has influenced me greatly.

I thought this would be an interesting criteria, the Now which expresses the immediacy of moment the present and the Zen, an indescribable word which I hope all of our art works will not so much as try to reflect this but just be. I've tried to answer questions about the nature of the show and I find it hard to express this in words. So hopefully being limited to two works which vaguely express the nature ‘Now and Zen’ should suffice. The works that I have chosen did not really require much thought and mainly came by as I thought about these art works that keeps coming back to my mind or through coincidences that I came to discover your works! Strangely this has defined the work that I now want to pursue. Putting together a show of this nature has influenced me greatly.

oregon city parks and recs
I just wanted to let you all know that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee is recommending that the City Commission approve the Carnegie Center Strategic Plan, with a few minor changes. I have attached a redline copy of the plan that highlights the changes.
The Strategic Plan is on the City Commission agenda for March 17. The meeting begins at 7:00 PM. The Plan is roughly the 4th or 5th item on the agenda. There are a couple of presentations and a public hearing regarding a proposed zone change before it, so it is difficult to know what time it will come up. If you wish to attend the meeting to comment on the Plan or just witness the proceedings, please come by.
Once action has been taken on the Plan we will convene our group again to plan for its implementation. Thanks for all of your help to this point.

gallery santa fe
Hi Pam,
Yes i would have to agree. I like the Scottsdale gallery and the work of Tasha Ostrander and Perla krauze. Tasha is a photographer and painter. I just think there is something special about the two cross disciplines, where one work affects the other. I like Tasha's color and forms.
This month i am exhibiting in the back space of Gallery 114. www.gallery114.com Paul Dalquist is in the front space. I got to meet a young guy from Benham Gallery. He came down to check out the work because Paul is represented by Benham. I talk to him a bit.
I would like to get into Chiaroscuro Gallery.

Hi Duc, here are the updates. Mine is mixed media, no oil. I am about to move all my work into a storage unit instead of my studio. I'm not going to keep the studio anymore for a variety of resons. Did you know which other painting you wanted or do you only want the Backbone that you put on the Excel sheet?. Let me know and I can put some aside so they will be easily reached when the time comes. They won't be hard to reach in any case, but I just wanted to know.
Hope you're well.
Take care / Annah

chased by the light
I had a nice morning jog and watch the girl's soccer game for a bit.
I read 'Talented Mr. Ripley and remember about my own travels. In the backyard is so sunny and warm. I napped. it was wonderful.
I saw a special t.v. program about a photographer who travel in the wilderness near his home in the Mid-west and he shot only one photograph for one day for ninety days.

passion of christ
saw Passion of Christ with a friend. many mothers and girls cried which started a chain of crying. We were extremely hungery after the movie. I think it was because of the visual and emtional stress. there was no credits before the movie. the devil look like marylin manson. the latin made the movie real. i'm glad they didn't speak in english.

dream of lip
February 23, 2004
I had a dream that some one was offering me food with incense. Then when I took a drink from the bottle I cut my lips. We were at a dormitory.
I was walking home from a dream and there was a flood. The water came up to my knees. There was snow and ice but I was not cold. There are people around me. The small whales are chasing the people into the shore. My journal got wet.
Last night I talked to Ninka on the phone until I fell asleep. It was nice.

Duc,
Could you describe the nature of the "now & zen" show? What sort of
things are you looking for...I could make a stab at it based on the
title but I thought I'd ask you first. I'm hoping to shoot fresh images
for the show.

Bruno wrote a paper which said the universe is infinite. He is a dominican monk. The Inquisitions burned him. I first heard of him in Paul Auster's 'Moon Palace'. Paul's character shared a passion for obscure works of literature. Bruno existed in the time of Galileo. Galileo had the patronage of Cosimo Medici.

In Poznan, Poland I saw a post with a Sea Horse and the words 'Lexly' I wanted to buy this but didn't know how to communicate my needs. Sea Horse is a personal symbol in Jasper John's paintings. The Sea Horse is a sexless animal. The Sea Horse is a very independent creature. It does not need the opposite sex for procreation. It lays the eggs and fertilizes the sperm all at once.

why i am
okay....however...i'm the oldest boy therefore i was picked to leave the country. as the oldest boy, i was spoiled. my family worry about the drafts...that's when they take little boys to make them men in armies...
My father pay our uncle to take us. I quickly learn how cruel he was to my aunt....my fatther's sister. I quickly learn that the best family you have is your flesh and blood
really....so we sit like animals....because there is no room on the small boat for everyone
my sister and i climbed into the cyclo during the hour of after midnight or very early morning....when no one was around.
I still remember the red bag of clothes and my mother sending me off....she told people that we were to visit relatives in the south
we rode off in the dark. our vehicle cover in a dark cloth
we had a day in the south to wait....the boat was getting fuel and provisions for the trips...everyone was excited...as if it was a cruise.... it was glamous to be leaving
i don't remember seeing my father telling me goodbye that night
but i do remember seeing him at the tail end of the boat as we drifted off
....the can smell the diesal fuel of the boat
he was handing my sister some dry food and instructing her on the trip
what medicine to take to keep us alive
to keep us asleep because there will be no food for days
not much to have
it was the last time we saw him until four or five years later.
sometimes i dream of him standing at the end of the boat....waving goodbye
we took out first steps on the wooden plank into the boat.
later when i see pictures of Noah's arc...i understand what it feels like to walk into a boat...in the hot afternoon of the delta
okay your turn now

I'm glad you decided to join 114 - everyone loved your work
immediately. There's no paperwork - you just need to sign up to sit
as soon as possible and have someone explain how to do stuff like
keys, garbage, lights, locks, etc. and come to the next meeting which
should be sunday, nov.30 at 5:00.
I only know one artist in Lancaster. She does traditional stuff like flowers.
See you soon.
Gini
p.s. I'm 40 not 50. I just had my birthday so I'm very sensitive
about these things.

Hey Duc,
Kurt here. Matthew and I are going to get together to work on a mailer card for the January New Members show and need to know if you are certain you will be participating so we can put your name on the card, and, frankly, see if you'd be interested in contributing to printing costs, which are 150$ per thousand. It equals about 37.50$ for 250 cards to use as you see fit. If I don't get an email reply I'll try your cell phone this evening.
Best,
Kurt

It was truly a pleasure meeting you. I go downstairs every day and stare at
one of your paintings while drinking my coffee... Your work is gorgeous and
is inspiring to me. Glad your presence is here.
Andria will call you in the near future to discuss how to get your work back
to you. No sales yet, but one person in town has displayed an interest...
Will keep you updated. Regardless, a lot of people have come to have a look,
so you're getting quite a bit of exposure.
Hope you're doing well and please keep in touch.

to you. No sales yet, but one person in town has displayed an interest...
Will keep you updated. Regardless, a lot of people have come to have a look,
so you're getting quite a bit of exposure.
Hope you're doing well and please keep in touch.

your new art today
"Matthew and all others...
I beg to use 'Your New art Today' even if it's kind of wonky it avoids the
instant eyes glazing over thing that 'new members show' does to me. If no
one else agrees, and I doubt there will be any time at this point anyway,
that's cool, the card looks stupendous anyway. All three layouts looked
great, so take your pick, i say...

cameo cafe
Day light savings time. I got up so early because I forgot it was day light savings time. I had a breakfast appointment with monica. I was suppose to meet her at pho houng at nine. It’s closed when I got there that’s when I knew I made a mistake. Monica suggested we go to cameo. It’s a café run by several asian women. They are on sandy blvd. I could not understand the woman who was serving us. Another woman has colorful tattoos encircling her arms. They make pancakes that are bigger then the platter. Maple comes in a plastic jug. I kept pouring it on thick. Monica asked for a dish because there was a huge dollope of butter on her French toasts.

I thought that i would write only about what i did on sundays.
I brought my framed photographs for the doctor to see. I cut myself on the corner of the frame where it is sharp. I asked the receptionist for a band-aid. He laid the specimen on the plastic examination bed. He suggests that we walk out to my car to see the rest of the framework. I lay them out on the parking lot bumper. I looked at the gallery. It’s in the sunken atrium lobby area of a medical school in Northwest. It's apart of Linfield College. It was interesting.

gini chin
October 11, 2003 Saturday
We met at Fong Chong for Dim Sum. She had warmed me that she is not Chinese. Her ex-husband is Chinese. She has streaked blonde hair. I got there early because I thought we were suppose to meet at eleven. I bought a small roasted duck. The man behind the counter chops the duck for me. I brought it back to the table and ate a few pieces because I was so hungry I couldn’t wait. The tea is really good and hot. She came at eleven forty five. Lunch with Gini Chin and David of www.reddoorfilms.com
I mention about Dan Burns when she asked me who else was showing. It turns out the she’s originally from Lancaster. I wanted to photograph the tiny bones in her studio. But maybe next time. She showed me the skull of a dog with hairs still attached. The tray of white bones is neatly arranged. A skull of bat, cat, and dogs. It reminds me of the small kiosk of the watch repairs. Working with gears soaked in cleaning liquid petri dishes. I asked for two objects to photogram.
I asked for Lam’s object too. The object will become a portrait of the artist in form of a photogram. It is a collaborative process. It is my portrait of the artist.
I lived near a sign painter. He painted on metal. The signs are large. He also does portraits for ancestor worship.
I didn’t know the language, so I made these drawings and show it to the welder. They were making a gate for a property near by our studio. The piece is about collaboration between the welders and me. I bought him a bottle of wine to thank him afterwards. The piece is about the communications between two cultures and the bridge of the universal language of drawings, instructional drawings that borders on the technical.
I think I can place some of the Gini chin pieces on pedestals as sculptures.
Gini said that gallery 114 might contact me to have me bring in the work and to talk with me.
We talked about residences. She worried that if the artists are in an unfamiliar environment, how will she work? It forces you to make some thing else.
We talked about Joseph Biels’ work. Gini said that it disturbed her that she found it humorist.

hehehe...some people don't know what i'm talking about. So you past my thai food quiz. I give you a golden pair of chopstick. Where do you eat these extravagant lunches...and can i join you the next time you go?? :) I'm going for dim sum at fong chong this sat 11:00. I'm meeting an artist for the first time and her boyfriend. Oh yeah I also invited myself to that lunch too. I wanted to check out her studio. I have no shame...
My dear Sweet Olga,
Privet Olga,
Thank you for you sweet email. I'm enchanted by your words as well as your picture. I'm glad you write the date for the last picture. As you look so different for one picture to the next. Althought they are all very nice.
Well, I just got home from work around 6pm. We work the same hours. After diner, I cut some dead flowers from the garden. The fall leaves are gathering.
You are very fortunate to find such a loving lady to take care of you and you repaid her with a warm heart and caring company I think. Your letters always move me to write. Please write more. I have a few friends from Poland and one from Hungary. I write to them and chatt on the computer often. But I like your letters equally. I am trying to learn French from a friend in France. I hope to learn some Russian from you too my dear. I'll write more as I come to think of more to write.
Love,

As I want to learn French from you.
