APT 6 at GOMA



James and I wandered across the river to the Gallery of Modern Art yesterday to see the 6th Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art.  I always highly anticipate this exhibition when it comes around every three years and have been attending since APT 2 1996.  One of the artworks I found the most striking from APT 6 is definitely Ji Wenyu and Zhu Weibing's People holding flowers 2007.  With backgrounds in fashion design and painting, these two Chinese artists have been making textile-based sculptures together since 2003.  The amount of detail up close is amazing on these four hundred black suit-clad figurines holding soft sculptural flowers.  The effect is at once joyous and ominous.
