NEWEXHIBITION "COINCIDENCES - 巧合" - Xianheng Hall Gallery, Taichung

Dear friends,

maybe on June 18, 2016 at 3:00pm if you go to Xianheng Hall Gallery
at No. 198, Nantun Rd., Nantun District in Taichung (Taiwan)

you might happen to be find me there; what a coincidence: my solo show is about to begin ...

"Everything, in a way, is a coincidence.

Naturally, we pay heed to just a few.

We are coincidences ourselves."

. . .

親愛的朋友們,

說不定2016年6月18日下午三點你正好來到咸亨堂畫廊

台中市南屯區南屯路二段198號

碰巧在那裏遇見我, 好巧 – 我的個展正要開始...

所有的一切, 在某種程度上, 都是巧合.

當然, 我們並沒有完全意識到.

其實, 我們本身, 就是個巧合.

Paolo Rui
