Title: 2010 International Art Fair + 2011
Post by: hangchoi on 30 May 2010, 22:16:38
Went to 2010 International Art Fair this afternoon. Some of the art pieces are selling at rocket high price, some are just for showing.......

Like usually exhibition of arts, they usually do not allow taking photos and you can see "Do not photo" signs everywhere. However, I saw a lot of people taking photos there and no one stops them to do so. Then, I also start taking photos......and share you some of them.

As what I had learned in Museu de Louver, Art is something that you have to feel, not to watch.......so no description this time.

We saw a small group of kids doing drawings  in the exhibition. In order to get them together, there was a rope tied on their wrists.......

The first time I saw this LOVE sign was at Shinjuku, Tokyo. That one was huge and stood on the office area. This is a small one......

Tina got the invitation for the Pre-exhibition show on 25 May 2011 and I somehow had to go with her. This year I saw some old stuff from last year but there were more paintings and sculptures.

Maybe because of the experience they had last year, most of the exhibits were allowed to take pictures BUT, also because of last year experience, Tina and I did not bring camera.  >:(

What we had was 2 iphones and I will post some picture here again.....later...  ;)

The above pictures are parts of a big artworks....It is not a painting, tho some paints is used. If you look closer to the mountain, you may find a clue....

Yes...the art work is made of Jeans....by cutting the Jeans into pieces, putting some colour paints on it (mainly white), and make it into a large picture.

Amazing

Some of the works I don't really understand.

In my mind, good art works arouse emotions - could be a pleasurable feeling, poetic feeling, etc... But some of them just plain weird.

Yes, I also find that some artworks are "intentionally" made them art ......

The show this year is not so good as the last year one. More importantly, it seems that the show goes more commercial. Last year we can walk around under a relatively quiet environment. This time a lot of discussion there, some with potunghua of course and I always heard that they were talking about price.

Besides, most of the artwork this year has a name tag AND a price tag. I never saw a price tag last year.....

and you maybe right...I felt the tone of almost all artwork were like a haunted movie....strange and weird sculptures, painting, etc. Some light shows even like a scary movie...  :-\
