2012年展览参观总结+2013年计划

2012年在北京,所以美术馆去得少一点,音乐会去得反而多一点。

2月:中芭-《卡门》,《阿莱城的姑娘》
3月:Seattle美术馆
7月:杉本博司摄影展
8月:国家大剧院合唱节-德国
9月:苏州博物馆,弗拉门戈
10月:北京双年展
11月:国家大剧院舞蹈节-Sylvie Guillem 《6000 Miles Away》,《Marguerite and Armand》,古典舞《神-色》,东京都美术馆-《Earth, Sea and Sky: Nature in Western Art; Masterpieces from The Metropolitan Museum of Art》
12月:里尔Palais des Beaux Arts

2013年的重头戏显然是欧洲。时间不太好定,不过基本方针已经定了:巴黎以查漏补缺为主,重点去一下以前没去过的几个大博物馆。外省和其他国家还是本着哪个有名去哪个的原则,走过路过不要错过。

日本料理@北京

久しぶりに日本料理を食べてきました。北京は海と近くないですから、美味しい魚の値段があまり「美味」しくないですよ(;_;)それで、刺身とお寿司が大好きですが、帰った半年過ぎで日本料理レストランを一回しか行きませんでした。S社の社食、懐かしいなぁ…

今日、家の近くに偶然に大学時代好きな店を発見しました。そしてすぐ行こうと決めた!(^_^)

店の名前は「一心」です。メニューは結構面白いです。

店内に日本風の絵が飾られています。富士山とか、水紋とか。

暑いですので、 ざるそばにしました。東京の標準によってまあまあですが、300円弱の値段で、もう満足でした。

お寿司は正直、まずいでした。やはり高い店に行かないと質のいい刺身がないかな。ぜひ北京の安い日本料理屋をおすすみくださいね!(^^;)

杉本博司@798

崇拜杉本博司(すぎもと ひろし)很久了,但一直没找到机会好好欣赏一下他的作品。在东京的时候只在Tokyo Photo上零散看过几幅,几次大的展览都错过了。这次回了北京反而碰到个不错的展览,在798的佩斯北京,几个知名的系列都来了几幅,《海》,《剧场》,《Diorama》,《函数模型》,《Lightning Fields》都有。

第一次来798,找地方费了点时间。佩斯北京的展馆不大,不过设计得挺精致,应该是利用旧厂房改建的,长条的弧形屋顶,一整面墙被整个移除换成了玻璃窗便于采光。展馆前修了个水池,水里有鱼,水上有桥。就算在炎热的夏天里,参观者跨水而入也能先心静下来几分。

屋里布展也有点意思。除了横向侧墙上的水平布展之外,挑空的立面上充分利用空间,错落有致的布置了若干幅《Lightning Fields》,很有相互呼应的感觉。

出来之后在798随便转了转。艺术范儿的小店很多,挺适合小资约会。

各种现代作品也四处可见。

乱七八糟的涂鸦也不少,大多是那种字母什么的,比较无聊。偶尔有些清纯浪漫风的,或者复古红色革命的,有点意思。

下次有其他好玩的展览可以考虑再来转转。画展的水平通常参差不齐,摄影展貌似要好一点。

Btw,这里有一篇杉本博司和安藤忠雄的访谈录。直岛的Benesse美术馆有个杉本的专门陈设区,结合了两位大师的特色,应该很值得一看。

Run! 12/03/29 Lunch run

5km/30min. It's my first run in lunch time. Seems a good fit into working schedule :) Hope I can be motivated enough to keep it going!

Run! 12/03/26 gym run

I planned for 10km, but started to get a familiar pain at left toe around 7km. Blister again -__-

So I stopped at 7.25km/45min. Well, not too bad, isn't it? :)

Run! 12/03/20 Night run

GPS didn't work, so I have no record of distance. Should be some 3.x km/30 min.

Even with ample lights, night run still feels more quiet and private, in particular when I can stay away from the traffic thanks to the woods in the park. Missing the nighttime in the mountain huts...

Run! 12/03/15 Morning "trail" run

Who can imagine that Beijing also has such beautiful morning :) The "hills" are right by the river, about 30 meters high, with a zigzag trail along the ridge.



Did a rough round, but actually on different trails going on parallel right next to each other. Will do this route more in future.

Run! 12/03/08 Lake-2-lake trail@Bellevue

Lake-2-lake is a classical trail in Bellevue, about 10 miles one way, connecting Washington Lake to Phantom Lake. Although generally well-indicated with labels and notes, it's not easy to keep the right direction across the complex road web in the US, even in Bellevue, one of the most runner-friendly cities. I have followed it in several tries. Here it is only a small part of the trail, but still got a quite good overall impression of its style.



The first section starting from Washington Lake is of course enjoyable. However, if you run in the direction that start here, you'll be running away from the lake, so probably not much lake view. The middle part cross the city center is just so so. The intersting part starts from Bellefield Office Park where one runs over creeks and woods. After crossing the 405 highway, Wilburton Hill Park offers more natural feeling. Greenfields and parks then link all the way via Larsen Lake until Phantom Lake.

Hope to have the chance to cover it in one run sometime!

Run! 12/02/19 Outdoor



It's still cold outside, but more tolerable than January, in particular in sunny afternoon. A short outdoor run made the city much more lovely! The speed is slower than normal: 4km/31m23, mainly due to the last part during which I lost my way looking for the exit. I'm happy that I didn't catch a cold ;)

Run! 12/02/17 Back to practise

After the stretching 21km in HK on 5th, it's finally time to back to practice! The toes with blisters still hurt a bit, but the tiredness has generally gone. A normal 5km/34m, with a short water break in the middle. I feel the necessity of doing longer kilometers before my first full marathon...

Run! 12/02/05 Second half marathon@Hong Kong

(Photo by Amar Rai@www.mojfun.com)

Covered 21km in 2h13 in Hong Kong Marathon 2012. It was a nice run across the downtown and along the sea, despite the weather was already a bit too warm for long distance. The food shops in the last mile smelled great. I hadn't practiced much since the December event in Shanghai, and the tunnel was really tough for me. Anyway, I managed to finish without catching a cold this time!

Sad to hear that a young man died after finishing half marathon. It's not wise to let your mind strength go beyond your physical limit...

Run! 12/01/30 5km

Next match is on this Sunday, so just a short relaxed 5km this week.
5km/32min, no pressure, no hassle :)

Run! 12/01/20 10km

'65"30, not bad after a long break. Feeling somewhat ready for the coming half marathon next weekend in HK :)

Run! 12/01/14 First outdoor run in Beijing

It's not that enjoyable to run in minus temperature weather... Anyway, just a short warm-up: 4.4km, '32"22. Hope the weather gets warmer soon :)
