EXHIBITION 展覽
綻放 In Bloom – March 20th-April 20th
Marina Burana 明蓮花
My work often centers on poetry, memory and nature. Taking inspiration from
poems that have a profound impact on me, from intimate memories and from specific
moments of the natural world -bloom, decay, loss, regeneration, death- I try to weave
a personal visual literacy reinvented and rearranged by rich and full colors and by a
constant search of a narrative derived from movement.
I work with oils mostly and I am exploring how to make cloth/paper out of the
bark of the Paper Mulberry tree and use it as a surface to paint on with natural
pigments. This is a very long and beautiful process.
In an attempt to always get as close to nature as my circumstances allow it, I
decided to put together this group of paintings that explore the burst of life, the
resilience of plants and a story of color. Being that these are showcased in such an
eclectic place as Sappho, the general idea of this exhibit is to somehow hunt through
splashing color, human narrative and the intricacy of natural systems and combine that
with the dazzling, metaphysical force of music.
In these paintings flowers are intertwined with human life. The natural world,
often seen as a mere annex to human existence, presents itself as the very intimate
fabric of who we are in this planet. Our mutual connection is revealed in these pieces
as an inextricable force that emerges and reminds us that now it is the moment to
bloom.

MUSIC 音樂
Musa Tango Trio
In South America, between the countries of Uruguay and Argentina there’s a
huge river that’s called Río de La Plata which joins these two Nations and their people
in an eternal embrace. Around this river there are two cities that also happen to be
their nations’ capitals, Montevideo in Uruguay and Buenos Aires in Argentina, and the
food, music, dance, poetry and art that emerged from them became known as
rioplatense.
On Saturday March 20th at 9:00 pm, Musa 明 馬 丁 from Argentina, one of the
most famous foreign musicians living and working in Taiwan, will take the stage of
Sappho Live to present alongside great Bandoneon master 李承宗 and Cellist 葉
俊 麟, his Musa Tango Trio. The band will play Tango Classics, a bit of Candombe,
some Argentine folk music, as well as original pieces influenced by this culture that
was born in the poorest neighborhoods of those two beautiful and mysterious cities
and grew to reach all corners of the world.
