Ghetto Fine Arts
This is a city-portrait of Singapore.
It is a 13-piece series, a poetry for the island of Singapore.
These are two works of The Jungle which is to be exhibited coming July at the Telok Ayer Performance Arts Center for LitUp Singapore 2012, a literary arts festival.
We are doing ghetto Fine Art.
Cheap, low-budget, but fine art.
We had to make money from creation (at least good enough that people would buy to preserve), so we said "it's gotta sell". But with all these money not being around anyone, we came to a realization that normal people can't buy shit that will cost few hundred to print. Or more.
It had to be cheap, poster-able, even postcard-able fine art that can have commercial value.
It is Art as prostitution. It is Art literally selling out. It is Art for the mass, as we are all whores.
So this is Mass Art.
