ArtStage Singapore 2012

I managed to get a ticket to ArtStage and took two hours walking around the hall not just looking at works but talking to the booth bitches and sometimes with the artists to ask them about their works. This lifelike sculpture of a man who looks like he's been assassinated is by a Chinese artist and is a tribute to the dissident Ai Weiwei. People surrounded the piece, took photos and asked each other if it was a real man or not. But no one thought of asking the lady manning the booth. Makes you wonder sometimes if people are even interested in the work or just enjoying the spectacle. I like to understand things. And I can only understand if I ask. But sometimes I ask too much and get into trouble for it. But at least I satisfy my curiosity. I feel like this dead man. And, oh, this is a sculpture made of silicon.
