By ARTERI
M.A.D is brought to you today by the letter C and Pacman. Pacman looks like a ‘C’ ok? Pacman explained: surrealist story of an astronaut hooked on anti-anxiety medication in order to escape his survivor’s guilt which manifests as the ghosts of his deceased comrades blaming him for their deaths.

By Eva McGovern
From February – May 2009 Ossage Gallery, Kwun Tong, Hong Kong is presenting Some Rooms, an exhibition that is a slice of contemporary art from Southeast Asia. 5 Curators were paired with two artists (selected by Ossage) each from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and, (strangely in my mind) Hong Kong. I had the opportunity to work as one of the curators, and managed to learn an incredible amount about curating, about creating meaning, about categorising artists by nationality and the challenges of representation.
