FROM THE ORGANISERS: A museum exhibit featuring the traditions of local Indian Mas, including the Fancy, Warrahoon, Red and Black Indian mas will be launched on Wednesday at the Carnegie Free Library, San Fernando and will then be open to the general public until April 10. The exhibit is the project of Jaime Bagoo, Carnival Studies student at the Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA), University of the West Indies. She has chosen to archive an aspect of our carnival history in the form of a community museum dedicated to one of our traditional mas stalwarts-Indian Mas. “This project is about the transference of community cultural heritage," she notes. There will be a focus on Indian Mas in San Fernando, more specifically Lionel and Rosemarie Jagessar’s band. Amidst concerns over the ...

You can find Marlon Darbeau's complete image interview here . For the past week, PLEASURE has posted, one day at a time, a series of images produced by Trinidadian design artist Marlon Darbeau.  Darbeau, whose work has been featured on this blog, had been asked to do the 14th interview in our artist interview series This/discourse/has/no/start(middle)nd . For the interview series, artists are asked to respond to a set questionnaire that includes the questions WHO? WHAT? WHEN? and WHERE?  Darbeau opted to produce an image in answer to each of these. And we opted to post the images one day at a time to allow the images to stand individually, yes, but to also accumulate gradually; to let readers literally get a better picture of Marlon over time, in the way that people come to know each other bit by bit, day by day. All through the simple medium of a blog. The result is an image interview that is playful but also stands on its own as a series of graphics. They have been acc...

Cathy O'Donnell has recently returned from NZ and reports that she had a fabulous time. "I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the New Zealanders who came to hear me speak and attended my workshops. My exhibition part of the international arts festival, exhibited at Pataka Museum and was very well received, my drawings hung alongside an exhibition from Afghanistan and Africa. Wellington was a busy with a variety of art and performance from 930 artist from 30 countries around the globe and I felt humbled to be part of such a vibrant and dynamic Arts Festival. I have attached one of the few photos I took, it's not great but I was so busy with my time there I didn't take many snaps."

I shot a whole film of this tree. So be prepared for some more tree pics. I got my cross-developed film back, it seems to be pretty amazing. But since I still don't have a filmscanner and there are no paper pics, you'll have to wait to see. Sorry.

Renowned local dancer: ‘NAPA an ornate twig’ By Andre Bagoo Newsday Friday, March 19 2010 ACCLAIMED dancer Dave Williams, who performed at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held at the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA), Port-of-Spain last year, yesterday described aspects of the design of NAPA as “dangerous” for dancers as he criticised the building as being “nothing more than a very ornate twig.” In a statement on defects of the building, Williams, a renowned choreographer, also revealed new details of defects in the building which has been criticised by the Artists Coalition of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT) in a report. “If you are going to build a landmark performing arts facility that not only looks as good as any other on the planet but also functions better and plays the part it is supposed to play on the local and international artscape as the newest space of its kind in artdom, then the NAPA is indeed nothing more than a ve...

The digital picture, taken with my Canon DIGITAL IXUS 75 (7.1 MP, 5.8-17.4 mm, 1:2.8-4.9) on a Wednesday in early February this year. The analogue picture, taken with my Lomo Fisheye 2 also in February but a few weeks later. I stood in exactly the same place and held the camera in the same angle (at least I think so) like the IXUS. Which one do you like better?

Whoops, nearly forgot to post a pic for you. This morning I finally got around to sort my photographies and negatives. I thought I still had tons of archive sheets for negatives ( I used to shoot b&w at the end of the nineties, I still found unused films from then a week ago!), but I was mistaken I had only 10 left. Whoops. Well, I'll meet tomorrow with BFF and she needs archive sheets too, so we'll order them together over the internet.
