THE HOST'S NOTES:
In this episode, I delightfully spoke with two Melbourne based young artists: Teresa Hsieh and John Gosper about the art shows and events that they had recently seen and experienced. They shared fantastic insights and knowledge about the exhibiting artists and works in those shows. 

Both artists, in unplanned way, specifically addressed the exhibitions produced by two Australian Indigenous artists, Ashley Perry and Christian Thompson. We discovered a common ground in these two artists' poetic and abstract expression of their interpretation of the lost and disappearing cultural traditions. 

From John's recollection of Grace Jones's flamboyant performance in Adelaide, we couldn't help to bow to Grace Jone's long and active career as an artist, performer and cultural icon and her sharp and daring qualities as a woman. 

Well. I hope that you enjoy listening to the 2nd episode of Three Bellybuttons and bear more patience with my stumbling speeches. As this episode was recorded in my kitchen, there were some unavoidable background noises. My apology. Also, please check out the exhibitions that we have talked in this episode. I'd love hear your comments on either the exhibitions or this podcast or both.
