Hmmm... Think it's a bit too late to advertise for my friend. Basically, he (as he claims) have collected ardently pieces of art pieces from the cultural revolution over the past 3 years. More accurately, his father has started collecting over the past 10 years.
Now, he's exhibiting and selling them to members of the public. The exhibition is from 9 to 10 september at Sheraton Towers near Newton MRT station. He's selling posters at prices ranging from 150 to 250 bucks.
The pieces look not bad though. The good ones are already snapped up... Haha. There was a psychologist, Dr Yeo, who was the guest of honour. He apparently is THE collector in Singapore / Asia. He also gave a speech then and talked about how China is rejecting this 'part of their history' while the rest of the world are finding things to remember it. He talked about museums about the revolution in countries in Europe, but in china, efforts to have a museum have only recently started. Moreover, he talked about his experience in collecting the art pieces during the early eighties/nineties. While the mainland Chinese were disposing these memories of a "sordid" past, he was collecting them. Q interesting lah.
He was impressed that there were so many young ppl there. Haha. Think he wasnt aware that most of them are his friends.
