Sobin Park Invitation West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011+ 1 - 212 - 255 0719 http://chelseaartmuseum.org Sobin Park: Toward the Creation of a New Female Myth" November 19 - December 31, 2009 Opening Reception; November.19, 2009, Thursday 6:00 ~8:00 pm Sobin Park has exhibited globally, and this marks the second solo exhibition in the United States.

It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way...

   1. Throw out nonessential numbers and factors. This includes age, height, eye and skin color, who your parents are, past stuff and present stuff that you can't change. 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. Who you are attached to will bless you up or mess you up. Make sure that YOU are a cheerful friend and not a grouch. 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's. 4. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. 5. Enjoy the simple things. Breath is one of the simple things. 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. Don't blame others for your situation. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive. 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your...
