i saw so much art and the spaces were so overwhelming that i failed to note some of names of artists and galleries. while there was definitely a broad spectrum in terms of the quality of work on view, overall the 798 art district experience is pretty amazing. closest thing i can compare it to is the art barf that art basel in miami beach has become, but that's only for 4 days. this is a permanent fixture in the beijing art scene.
how you like the simian riff on damien hirst? seems like everyone is biting that game.
i was a little more impressed with the beuys reference. instead of fat this was basically a burned wax candle chair. pretty sweet homage, actually.
so the chinese eat a lot of strange critters (more on that later) but one might gather from this series of images that they also sleep with some of their strange food stuffs.
