TITLE: SWEATSHOP LOCATION: 安家大院, TIANJIN MISSION: ENJOY SOME CHINESE MASS PRODUCTION DATE: 2009-01-21 Right next to the An family residence was this small Chinese art shop. Cleverly enough, the management employs underpaid art students to produce endless amounts of more or less identical paintings. One of the huge 2m x 1m paintings carried a sticker price of 12500元, seems like someone at least is making decent money. One popular motif is naked boys hugging fish, which supposedly represents good fortune since cute kids are cute kids and fish used to be rare i mainland China. I consider myself a pretty open-minded person, but when one of the "boys" had a small beard (许嘉 claimed it wasn't a beard, but I know what I saw) things are getting too strange for me. |
