Saturday I spotted this nice 'waterfall' in Germany.
Zheng Guogu is my new hero. We went to the
Documenta contemporary art exhibition & for obvious reasons this piece caught my eye. Last time I came here was in 1992 for Jan Hoet's Documenta but this year's was a bit of a disappointment. We were feeling just like in New York's MoMa: a supermarket for modern art. I guess Saatchi & co are to blame for this. It's interesting to notice that this year's interesting contemporary art projects come from ex-communist Russia or China. Especially the Chinese artists have a unique way of blending their cultural heritage with modern media. This wax waterfall is an interesting take on a common motif in traditional Chinese painting. Likey.
