Announcing "History of Steel in East Asia"

Outstanding, Antonio. I'm getting quite excited about the exhibition.

I know the catalogue release will be delayed because of its great size and scope but, in a way, this makes not being there that much easier because once the exhibition closes, we'll still have something to look forward to!

Thanks Andrew,

Indeed the design department is treating each of the 278 photos (if I well remember) by removind unwanted things in the background, and so forth.

Nonetheless, here is a picture of the center display case which has two sides facing two opposite walls.

Prepared to be painted black.

Here I'm directing the placement of partitions to visually separate different periods in the Korean display section.

Then with the partitions hung and the frame painted black and still a lot of mess. When the ceiling lights are turned off, everything will look dark.
Only display cases lights will show its contents.

Off to work in an hour... Now its a non-stop until it's done.

As soon as the design department has pictures I will upload them and hope to see the website finished.

Thank you for your kind words.

The Dateline always confuses me .
Is the premier tonight , tomorrow , or was it yesterday ?

Antonio Cejunior · 13th May 2006, 12:48 PM

No problem Rick,

It is earlier here, meaning that May 12 came earlier to Macau then to the US. Average time difference is twelve hours.

I wish to thank everyone of you involved, and while the site is not finished, I've uploaded the opening pictures here

Hope you all enjoy enjoy early pictures.
Now I need to sleep

Bless you all

Bravo, Antonio! It is so exciting to see it all there, and the public examining the exhibits so intently.

Ian · 14th May 2006, 09:23 PM

We all thank you, Antonio, for the immense amount of work you put into this exhibition -- from conception to opening.

Well done.

Ian.

Hello Mark and Ian,

Your worst are most kind but undeserving. I had the idea, but you guys, and I would like to publicly thank you all:

Mark, Andrew, Ian, Federico Malibago, Jose Albovias Jr., Rick, Barry Parks, Jonathan Vergara, Ron Zambarrano and William Swanson for your generous contributions without which this exhibition would have not been possible.

It may seem like a cliché, but it isn't. I believe in one thing, and that is fairness and gratefulness. You have all given a lesson to the world about generosity.

When I was setting up the exhibition, I once more saw all those beauties and thought to myself: they did trust me. That brought an immense respect on all of you. So I thank you all for the trust.

When the catalogue is ready you will know, as with about over 280 photographs it is going to be a dictionary of 400 pages. And that huge book will show the acknowledgements on one of the first pages.
Gratefulness is mainly remembering what good things have been done unto us.
Therefore, like the Chinese clap hands back, because their culture tells them not to accept applauses, I wish to applaud you all for your civic attitude, for your spirit of detachment, and for the fact that each of you gentlemen, gave a great contribution for this exhibition to take place.

So, Bravo everyone!

Oh, I will also put up a special forum directly linked to the website's menu when it is ready so we all can discuss, comment, etc.

Bless you all.
