Last week, we posted a blogpost about the upcoming Original Soundtrack & Music Inspired by Rocket Rain album. The album will contain the featured songs in the film, it will also feature some songs that are inspired by Rocket Rain-a feature film by the director/visual artist Anggun Priambodo.
The first single of the album was revealed today - a song by Jirapah titled “Crowns”. Another good news is that you can also watch the video as it goes online earlier today. Directed by Anggun Priambodo, the video contains vintage footage of a Sundanese wedding ceremony.
The video for Crowns is a perfect music video as the song and the visuals support each other. It combines the melancholic tone of the song with the vintage footage of the wedding ceremony. The combination of the musical and the visual give viewers a romantic feeling when watching the video.
In addition to Jirapah's Crowns, there will be more musicians contributing in the "Original Soundtrack & Music Inspired by Rocket Rain album" such as White Shoes and The Couples Company, Zeke Khaseli, The Kuda, Frigi Frigi and many more. So be sure to check out Rocket Rain's Facebook page to get more information about the upcoming album and probably the upcoming music video as well.

Dia.lo.gue Artspace presents an exhibition entitled . This exhibition will feature two of Jakarta’s young, talented artists: and . These artists’ artworks are curated by Mitha Budhyarto.
Blink / Glance / Gaze is an outcome of the artists’ exploration about the fact that we capture things through our eyes everyday. We might not be aware that this is essential as it affects our way to perceive our surroundings, whether it is a blink, glance, or gaze.
In Blink / Glance / Gaze, Yaya will display her artworks: the photographs that based on her exploration of the act of “kamisan,” a non-violent protest that regularly held by Kontras every Thursday (Kamis) in front of the State Palace. Angela, on the other hand, works on illustrations that reflect the complexities of personal narratives through mixed media.
Through their artworks, Angela and Yaya tell us that there is a strong relationship between how we perceive what we see and our memories and yearnings. This exhibition invites us to ponder about the way we see and interpret everything we see everyday, throught the blink, the glance, and the gaze.
This exhibition will be held for a month in Dia.lo.gue Artspace, Kemang as an extension of its annual programme, Exi(s)t. 2013. Also, there will be an artist talk titled “Ways of Seeing” that will be held on the same day.
If you live in Singapore or in the surrounding area you will probably know that the 4th Singapore Biennale is currently happening. Established in 2016, the current biennale is organized by the Singapore Art Museum of the National Heritage Board, and its title, "If the World Changes", summarises the theme of response to the speed of transformation we are currently experiencing in Southeast Asia.
One of the artist invited is none other than visual artist Anggun Priambodo, who is exhibiting an installation called "Toko Keperluan" (A Shop for Necessities). Recreating the typical street corner shop and filling it with items that aren't necessities, Anggun comments on consumerism, critiquing the reasoning of our buying impulses. The shop sells anything from vinyl records, puppets, leggings to a boxing helmet. Toko Keperluan isn't simply a for viewing, one can actually purchase what are on display, and according to our photographer, Natasha Gabriella Tontey, visitors are quick to buy the items... so I suppose the visitors' behavior exhibit exactly what Anggun was critiquing.
Be sure to visit the Singapore Biennale and Anggun Priambodo's Toko Keperluan, and do Rocket Rain.

The last Brightspot Market in Grand Indonesia attracted over whopping 65,000 people over 4 days. There was a huge crowd & traffic + parking was pretty tough on Saturday night & Sunday afternoon. Here are some tips for a pleasant Brightspot:
* Car pool. Go 4 in a car or more. Save parking + it will be more fun & better for the environment
* Come early in the day to beat the crowd & traffic. Stay the whole the day in the mall. There are lots to do: eat, shop some more, eat, see movies, check out Bright Ideas & Imagination Factory
* There will be designated areas for parking in the Danamon Building & ITC. There will be people with pickets. Please park there when needed.
* If you live in the area, walk to Lotte Shopping Avenue : )

If you read our Interview with Anggun Priambodo, then you'll know that the visual artist has a feature film in the works titled Rocket Rain, and that he is very fond of music. Putting his visual talent and enthusiasm for music together, Priambodo is planning to release a very special soundtrack. Not only will it feature music found in the film, but also music inspired by Rocket Rain, making us curious of the interpretations. Check out the line up below, it is a very good one. The official release date of the record has not been released yet, but one can assume that the orange-colored 'Coming Soon' means... that it is coming soon!

When we look at the pictures above, we might be sure that the picture is a photograph. But surprisingly, this picture is an oil painting created by Gregory Thielker. He is an American artist who graduated from the Painting department of Washington University.
These paintings are part of Thielker’s Under the Unminding Sky" – a project he worked on from 2005 until 2010. This series was born through his exploration of the feeling when driving through the rain and looking at the pouring rain from the car’s window. They are are compiled from the photographs he took while driving in the rain with the windshield turned off – to create a constantly changing lens for the way we see the landscape. Thielker stated that the paintings in this series reflect his interest of how the roadways potray and control how we experience various landscapes.
These paintings are beautifully mindblowing, not only because they look extremely real, but also because these paintings evoke strong feelings and memories about wandering in the middle of the pouring rain. For myself, personally, these painting remind me of the rainy days during the end of last year. I remember I felt upset when I knew that it was raining outside because it would be hard for me to catch the bus to go home in the rain. But as much as I hate rainy office days, I would stop and stand in front of the window to watch rain because it is always delighful to watch the rain.
