art: Early Hong Kong's Kowloon Peninsula

2007-12-19 until 2008-03-16
University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong
Pokfulam, Hong Kong

In the past few years, the University Museum and Art Gallery has collaborated with Mr Cheng Po Hung on several exhibitions focusing on the history of Hong Kong, which mainly dealt with the history of Hong Kong Island. This exhibition focuses on the history of the Kowloon Peninsula. Many people are familiar with the tram services provided on Hong Kong Island, but do not know that in 1897 the Hong Kong government passed a tramway ordinance authorizing the Kowloon Godown to construct a tramway for transporting cargo in Kowloon. In the early 1910s, the Hong Kong Tramways Limited requested permission from the government to establish tramlines to carry passengers in Kowloon but this proposal was finally rejected, hence the Kowloon tramway was never built. This exhibition features over seventy photographs, focusing on the areas through which the proposed tramways were to be constructed. This includes the parts of Kowloon that were owned by the Colonial Government, such as Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Ho Man Tin, Mong Kok and Tai Kok Tsui, as well as those owned by the Chinese Government (later renamed the New Territories), such as Sham Shui Po, Cheung Sha Wan, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon Tong, Kowloon City, To Kwa Wan and Hung Hom. Also included in the exhibition are images of then undeveloped areas such as Ngau Chi Wan, Wong Tai Sin, Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, Yau Tong, Lei Yue Mun, Tiu Keng Leng, and the new town of Tseung Kwan O.

In the early days, Kowloon was divided into "British Kowloon" which referred to an area south of Boundary Street, ceded to the British in accordance with the Convention of Peking in 1861 and "Chinese Kowloon" (later known as the New Territories), the area from Boundary Street to the Shenzhen River, which was leased to the British in 1898. Today, the boundaries of the Kowloon Peninsula extend from Tseung Kwan O in the east to Lai Chi Kok in the west, Tsim Sha Tsui in the south to Lion Rock, Tate's Cairn, and Fei Ngo Shan in the north, which links to the New Territories. It is one of the three major regions of Hong Kong.

Over the past hundred years, Kowloon has played an important role in Hong Kong's economic, transport, and social developments. In Sham Shui Po, Tai Kok Tsui, and Cheung Sha Wan, many factories producing textiles, clothing and ironware were built contributing enormously to the industrial development of Hong Kong in the 1970s. The Canton-Hong Kong Railway which terminated in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the Kai Tak Airport completed in 1931 in Kowloon City, facilitated the development of both trade and tourism. At the foothill of Lion Rock, the public housing estates of Wong Tai Sin were home to typical working class of Hong Kong families in the 1950s. Through the photographs from the collection of Mr Cheng Po Hung, viewers can witness changes in the Kowloon Peninsula over the last hundred years.

The exhibition preview will take place on Tuesday 18 December 2007 from 6:00 to 7:30 pm. Mr Cheng Po Hung will give the following talks in Cantonese to coincide with the exhibition, "The British Kowloon, south of Boundary Street" (Saturday 26 January) and "The New Kowloon, north of Boundary Street" (Saturday 2 February) at 3:00 pm. The talks will take place in the Museum and are free and open to the public.

Created by Clash bassist Paul Simonon

Given To Musician Patti Smith

To Lucky Donor

Winner Announced Tuesday, February 26, 2008

LOS ANGELES, CA - Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is offering a one-of-a-kind Clash t-shirt screened by Paul Simonon, the seminal British punk band’s visual artist and bassist.

In 1976 The Clash were about to release its debut album, The Clash, one of the first and the most groundbreaking punk albums ever. Simonon, chiefly responsible for the band’s clothing and stage backdrops, silk screened t-shirts for the Clash’s upcoming shows. In 1977 Simonon gave this shirt to punk priestess Patti Smith. Smith later gave it to her drummer, Jay Dee Daugherty. Daugherty donated it to Sweet Relief, so the charity could utilize it to raise funds for musicians who find themselves in need.

Donors to Sweet Relief of as little as $20.00, between January 15 and February 26, 2008 may win this totally classic relic of one of music’s most beloved eras! For further details, and to donate, please visit Sweet Relief’s website http://www.sweetrelief.org.

Sweet Relief Musicians Fund is a Los Angeles-based national charity providing financial assistance to musicians who are struggling to make ends meet while facing illness, disability, or age-related problems. There are many talented artists who will never be rich or famous, but who play essential roles in the transcendent connection between fans and music. Sweet Relief tries to redress some of the imbalance between the few in music who have a lot and the many who struggle but persist in their art. Please visit Sweet Relief’s MySpace page www.myspace.com/sweetreliefmusiciansfund.

We wish the best of luck to all the Clash fans who donate to musicians for this shot at owning a piece of music history.

games: mondomedeusah recommends - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the Xbox 360

War really shouldn't be this much fun. Since when did getting pinned under a hailstorm of enemy fire, listening to rounds zip within millimetres of your face, become such a great way to spend our spare time? But in Call of Duty 4 (COD4), it most certainly is, and the more realistic it has become, the more we can't wait to go and risk our virtual lives all over again. COD4 shows ably why Infinity Ward is the master crafter of the shooter genre, building and layering above the foundation it so wonderfully created with the original Call of Duty.

Like prior Call of Duty games, there are multiple characters that you'll play in COD4, but this time it's limited to two. You'll fill the boots of a US Marine in the game's explosive, over the top battle levels, while the sneaky, stealthy SAS scenes give you a breather when you need it. The difference in pacing between the two main characters is perfect, giving the game great variety and helping to flesh out the solid storyline from two different perspectives. The plot is the standard 'terrorist steals nuke' kind of escapade commonly found in Clancy novels, but is beautifully delivered via several means. Gorgeous videos introduce each level, setting the scene for the mayhem to come, while believable dialogue breathes life into the game's main stars. The result is a story that might not be the most original premise for war, but it's one that's very realistic and thus provides real motivation for getting the job done.

Computer Graphic artist Loïc Zimmerman wanted a tattoo of his own design for years, but understood that a complex 2-D design doesn't easily translate on the body's 3-D canvas. So Zimmerman set out to create his own CG doppleganger, based on his own body's exact proportions, to preview what his sleeve and chest piece would look like. View his work at www.needled.com
