I went to this exhibition on the 20th of May at Silom Galleria under 'orders' from Johanna. Did some reading before i went there and I thought it might be interesting since the sculptures were all of women.
Interestingly, I went there and saw the catalogue at the doorstep so i sat down and read it before going in for some background info.
Personally i felt that the artwork was superb, most of these sculptures were so life-like i actually stopped taking after a few cuz i got so disturbed...
It was nice that the artist just wanted to portray women as a biological human and not give them clothes or whatsoever that may associate them with social identities.
Much like how the curator, whom i spoke to said, "I can say that Xiang Jing's (the artist) work is a very specific, unique kind of practice. Very precise with a high-level of craftsmanship, yet full of ambiguity and readings."
Next stop for this art exhibition would be over at Beijing, also at Tang Contemporary Art (当代唐人艺术中心) for the month of September. Great stuff!

Why.... were you disturbed?
they just looked so real... yet being unreal... it's like you walk into a museum and the sculptures there all naked men who're really posing... real men
