3rd visit to 798

Made another visit to super-modern art zone 798, this time I took more pics. For you artsy folks you can read more about my last visit to the area and its background. Click on the pics to enlarge.


This sculpture makes a powerful statement.


Massive freaky painting....all the faces are eyeless!


Fashion display by I.T.


BJers enjoying the funky sculptures


These massive warehouses are a great space for art.


An industrial feeling permeates 798


Inside the warehouse, these glowing cubes displayed all kinds of funky products.


Muji display


Now this was the weirdest installation of the day. From a pitch black room we walk through a door and lo and behold: a small black child playing in the dirt & straw with a fake vulture in the background (his mom is sitting to the side keeping an eye on him). WTF??

Obviously it's copied, I mean inspired by this incredible photo by Kevin Carter. Sometimes modern art is really hit or miss.
