A natural and healthy vegetarian dessert from Japan.

Delcie is proud to introduce Delcie’s Kanten Jelly, a nutritious and affordable dessert from Japan that is high in fiber.

Delcie’s Kanten Jelly is imported from Japan and is made using the finest seaweed available. Because Delcie’s Kanten Jelly is made from premium seaweed, it consists of up to 80% fiber and is chock full of natural minerals.

The generous fresh fruit slices added to Delcie’s Kanten Jelly increases the fiber content while adding essential vitamins to this already healthy, low-calorie dessert.

Because Delcie’s Kanten Jelly absorbs water, it is extremely satiating and keeps you feeling full for longer while reducing bloating and water retention.

Delcie’s Kanten Jelly – A nutritious dessert miracle in a cup. Available in 6 flavours!

Market of Artists and Designers, or MAAD for short, happens every first Saturday of the month at the Red Dot Design Museum, one of Singapore’s creative hubs. In this event, participating designers only sell original handmade work in a flea market themed environment. Be there and support our local creative community by buying a beautiful painting or a cute, handmade plush toy!

MAAD also features the people from the Organisation of Illustrators Council. The organization will have their Portrait Day during the MAAD event. A big group of illustrators will have you pose for 15 minutes while they paint or sketch you in their own style. You will then pick and choose the ones you enjoy the most for SGD$8 each. Now that’s a pretty cool concept!

Third installment of the Performativity series
A Performance art video exhibition

Derived from combining Performance Art and TV, Performativity was first jointly curated by Thanavi Chotpradit (Thailand) and Khairuddin Hori showcasing performance-centered video pieces by emerging artists from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore and The Philippines. It was launched at VER Gallery (Bangkok) belonging to internationally acclaimed artist and Hugo Boss Prize recipient Rirkrit Tiravanija in 2006. Last month, Performativity 2, consisting of video pieces by seven Singaporean artists had a one-month screening at 24HR Art, The Northern Territories’ Center for Contemporary Art in Darwin, Australia.

It’s upcoming third installation subtitled Two Coats of Paint will be exhibited at Praxis Space, an experimental gallery dedicated for students and alumnus of LASALLE College of the Arts from 5th to 13th November 2008.

Two Coats of Paint suggests a destruction (of sorts) through an action not dissimilar to laying fresh paint over a masterpiece. In this instance, the four artists will respond, adapt, appropriate, borrow and even steal from classic pieces of performance-centered video art by European and American avant-gardes from the 1960s to the 1980s such as John Baldessari, Marina Abramovich, Bruce Nauman and Yoko Ono.

This collaborative endeavor also extends the tutelage between former tutor and LASALLE alumnus (Khairuddin Hori) and his students (Veliana Veli and Maria Chua).

Artists: Khai Hori (Singapore)
Veliana Veli (Indonesia)
Thao Nguyen (Vietnam)
Maria Chua (Malaysia)

Where: Praxis Space
LASALLE College of the Arts

Dates: 5 – 13 Nov 2008

On the 11th of September 2008, Asia Video Club along with interactive agency, Fat Pixel, gave a talk on technology in the Hao Summit. During this summit, we gave a live demonstration of AVC technology through mobile blogging. We then divided the attending artists into 5 groups and assigned them create profiles and a blog entry for each group. The artists had alot of fun on the talk and some have actually joined us bloggers in AVC. We were thankful to The Substation for giving us this opportunity to share our knowledge and passion on technology.
