Tina Keng Gallery at Frieze New York at The Shed

After a tumultuous year of an ongoing global pandemic, Frieze finally unveils its very first physical art fair since the Covid outbreak: Frieze New York at The Shed. Honored to be the only Greater Chinese representative among the 60-plus blue-chip galleries that show at the fair, Tina Keng Gallery is pleased to present Zhang Hongtu (b. 1943), Su Xiaobai (b. 1949), Yao Jui-Chung (b. 1969), and Su Meng-Hung (b. 1976). Their diverse body of work showcases contemporary artistic explorations by Greater Chinese artists in deconstructing and reconstructing traditional cultural symbolism. Unraveling the strata of history and the symbolism of artistic media, their works grapple with two-dimensional imagery and abstract space. The spirit of the brush and ink, and Eastern philosophies that permeate the practices of these artists respond to the transcultural context of contemporary art through a gaze at the culture that birthed and cradled their artistic intuition.

Arielle has helped sing many birthday songs, blew off many candles and have been asking if it is her birthday next? Today is your day, Arielle! It’s been nothing but joy watching her grow up. Didn’t seem too long ago where I cradled her in my arms and saw her take her first steps. Arielle has started to demonstrate independent thinking, surprising me with the questions she asked, engaging me in conversations. I can’t wait to see more of what you will bring to our lives, darling. My firstborn turns 3 today!

Blessed 59 months to our dearest Maeleth! Oh my, time really flies...she will be 5 years old next month! It does not feel like that much time has passed, but it has. 😮
•
Much of the end of last year was spent fighting off hives breakout and insect bites. We are so glad that she finished her last dose of antibiotics yesterday and has been cleared by the pediatrician with a clean bill of health. This is a great start to the new year! 🤗
•
She just started her first session of abacus arithmetic enrichment class with some of her classmates in school a few days ago and she enjoyed it.
Together, Mae and I watched a video yesterday about abacus basics and learned how to use it.
It feels like just days ago that she was an infant cradled in my arm and drinking milk from a bottle, unable to speak or walk yet. 😳
•
This is definitely going to be a nostalgic month for my love @amileekang and I, as we recollect @maelethsarah’s memorable moments, leading up to her 5th birthday!❤️

I'd Give My Life For You - Miss Saigon

You who I cradled in my arms.
You,
Asking as little as you can.
Little snip of a little man,
I know I'd give my life for you.
You didn't ask me to be born
You,
Why should you learn of war or pain?
To be sure you're not hurt again,
I swear I'd give my life for you.
I've tasted love beyond all fear.
And you should know it's love that brought you here.
And in one perfect night,
When the stars burned like new,
I knew what I must do.
I'll give you a million things I'll never own.
I'll give you a world to conquer when you're grown.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.
Sometimes I wake up, reaching for him.
I feel his shadow brush my head,
But there's just moonlight on my bed.
Was he a ghost?
Was he a lie?
That made my body laugh and cry?
Then by my side the proof I see, his little one.
Gods of the sun,
Bring him to me.
You will be who you want to be.
You
Can choose whatever heaven grants.
As long as you can have your chance,
I swear I'll give my life for you.
No one can stop what I must do.
I swear I'll give my life for you.

作詞/作曲：Alain Albert Boublil / Claude Michel Schonberg / Richard E. Maltby

Nuggets get crucial win with playoff implications over Lakers

Allen Iverson knew there'd be days like this.

The Nuggets are just 27-27 since his trade from Philadelphia but that doesn't begin to tell the whole story, which includes an array of games without suspended superstar Carmelo Anthony and sharpshooter J.R. Smith and a whole mess of injuries that prevented any sort of cohesion until the last couple of weeks.

Now, the Nuggets are meshing just in time for the playoffs.

They beat the fading Los Angeles Lakers 115-111 on Monday night to stretch their winning streak to a season-best six straight games behind Carmelo Anthony's 33 points and Marcus Camby's 22 rebounds and seven blocks.

"This is probably the best time ever to get the chemistry down," Anthony said. "It couldn't come at a much better time for us."

These types of nights are beginning to make up for all those losses that A.I. endured when he first came to Colorado, fueling his critics' contention that two superstar scorers couldn't coexist for very long.

"I always felt good about my situation," Iverson said. "That was the whole big thing with me. I knew there was going to be one day when 'Melo came back and J.R. came back, and I knew that we'd be able to get into practice and get some offensive and defensive chemistry going.

"I felt I was in a better position than I was in Philadelphia, so I never lost hope or lost focus because I felt the day that we'd be playing good basketball would come," Iverson said. "I'm just happy that it's now that we're headed into the playoffs."

Anthony sealed the latest win with three free throws in the last 9 seconds and Camby cradled Kobe Bryant's errant desperation 3-pointer that would have tied it in the final seconds.

Iverson added 24 points for the Nuggets, who tightened their grip on the sixth spot in the West, moving 1 1/2 games ahead of the Lakers, who have lost six of their last eight.
"Anthony's playing extremely well, AI's playing extremely well," Bryant said. "The supporting cast is playing extremely well. They are very hot right now."

And the Lakers are very cold.

The Lakers (40-38) haven't beaten a team with a winning record since defeating Utah on Feb. 26. No other Phil Jackson-coached team has ever lost this many games in a season. They went 45-37 last year.

Even their superstar was mired in a funk Monday night.

Bryant scored 23 points, nine below his league-leading average, and missed 21 of his 30 shots. When his 3-pointer rattled out with 2.7 seconds left, Camby cradled the rebound -- his 22nd on this night and 42nd in his last two games against the Lakers -- and drew the foul.

He missed his first free throw but sank his second and Anthony swiped the long inbounds to seal Denver's win.

"He's a great rebounder," Iverson said. "He'll kill us if we get anywhere near a ball he can get his hands on. If he can get his hands on it and we touch that ball, we're going to hear about it. The ones that are long, we try to get those and the ones that are in the paint, we let Marcus get them."

Bryant made just 1-of-5 from the arc and although he made four of his five free throws, his one miss came with 1:01 left and the Lakers trailing by two.

With Denver ahead 111-109, Sasha Vujacic kicked the ball with 9.7 seconds remaining on the game clock and four on the shot clock, causing a reset and forcing the Lakers to foul Anthony, who missed one of two free throws, leaving Denver clinging to a three-point lead.

Anthony fouled Bryant with 8.3 seconds left before he could set up for a game-tying 3-pointer and Bryant sank both foul shots.

Anthony was fouled on the inbounds and also sank both of his shots, giving Denver a 114-111 lead with 7 seconds left. That's when Bryant's final 3-pointer rattled out.

The Lakers trailed 92-82 heading into the fourth quarter but stormed ahead 105-104 on Brian Cook's 3-pointer with 4:20 left, capping a 13-2 spurt that included a slam and a fadeaway by Bryant. The run was sparked by Los Angeles turning to a zone defense, which stopped Denver's penetration in the second half.

Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer after a super surge over the last six weeks, was ice cold in the first half, shooting just 4-of-12 for nine points. His first basket came with 2:59 left in the first quarter.
