笔日札记
The teaching experiences I have gathered over the years prove themselves rich and fruitful. One of the few things I have learned from my students is the necessity to keep humble and digest materials carefully if not aiming at "fully".
I perhaps fail to be someone who manages to present myself as forceful and the correct schoolmaster. Instead, I attempt to see where and how the other party came about their ideas. Regardless of the challenges, mentor-ship is, for me, a journey to acknowledge the otherness in the conversation and present them in a way that appaears justifiable.
Last weekend I took a trip to Paris, there were way too many shows. Myriam Mihindou is particularly striking in her solo exhibiton at Palais de Tokyo. The way she uses French as a key to transfer her metaphors reminds me of my situation in the UK as a foreigner, using a foreign langauge.
The queerness or foreigness reminds me of failure, instead of intellectual gratification. Attempts (instead of the results) stop at certain point and make the whole process meaningful.
