Jeremy Wins Life

The Space Time Tunnel

For his first UK solo exhibition Wang Du is presenting The Space-Time Tunnel, a large-scale installation which invites visitors to journey through a mass of newspapers and magazines combined with more than 66 TV-screens, broadcasting programmes from global television networks.

Wang Du’s inspiration for this piece came to him when he moved to Paris and was bombarded by all things of the media. This isn’t a piece that says that media is corrupt. It says that the media exists, and is celebrated in “The Space-Time Tunnel”. Critics say that the experience of walking in the tunnel is not frightening, but familiar. We are constantly advertised to, and the space in which this tunnel is created displays television screes and magazine pages. The tunnel is an experience that we each walk through everyday, leading us down a path that eventually ends up with a purchase. Wang Du is my favorite installation artist not just because he comes from an Asian background, but because he doesn’t let that influence his work; he creates universal experiences that everyone has felt before.

In addition to doing installation work, Wang Du has tons of sculpture as well which can be considered installation artwork itslef.

Welcome to my portfolio site. And Merry Christmas! Let me tell you about my last few days. I did not spend my Christmas opening gifts, entertaining family, or eating a ham at dinner. On Christmas Eve I bought and registered a domain. On Christmas Day I built the site and uploaded pics to my portfolio. Today I got into other peoples’ blogs and read what this whole community is about, and now I am posting my first entry!

It was definitely the most non-Christmases I’ve ever had. But in the end, I turned into into a Christmas gift to myself. It is necessary to get a professional looking website as soon as you can, and start poking your head into the industry while still schooling. Some of my goals for this blog/web portfolio is to show my best and latest work, share my experiences in comedy, and hopefully people will enjoy coming here to learn the new things that I’m learning.

Thanks for stopping by, and have an adventurous New Year.

Just been working on personal art, some comics before the debut. I wonder what everyone else is doing this break? Are they all relaxing, working, preparing for anything special/big? I’ve been pretty inspired, but never really wanting to start getting work done. It’s bad to feel into something and then not act on it. Do you feel that way too? Anyways, we should just DO things. No one else is going to do it. So just do it. That’s what i have to keep telling myself over and over. Just got to jump in.

This sketch is part of this idea that involves collaborating with another artist comrade. We want to create halves of works, give the piece over to the other person, and throw down a finish to the piece. This is just the start of it.

So you should also check out my Versus Jeremys Blog that I started with my comrade Jeremy McKinley. It’s an online art battle we have every week where he posts a character and I send my take on it, then i draw a character and it’s his turn to draw his take on it. We have a really good time doing it. Enjoy!

So I realized that I didn’t clean my house today to welcome the new year. It’s a tradition that Vietnamese families do to reduce the bad luck. But I remembered, I’m Vietnamese, so this doesn’t apply until the Vietnamese New Year (Tet), which coincides with the Chinese New Year, which is sometime in February. So I don’t have to clean today. I’ve got good luck already!

Posted a new character profile over at the Headlines & Punchlines information page. Whit Williams will make his debut in the New Year’s comic, premiering tomorrow, 2009! Happy New Year everyone!
