Maybe this piece of art fit's perfect to the previous posts and to some of the issues of world politic today.
It is a bit obvious and maybe pathetic, but as I saw this at the art fair, I just had to smile a bit.
In fact after being able to let some of the impressions settle in my soul, I kind of realize that the smile was one thing I did do more often at this exhibition than normally when I watch an art show, a gallery or visit a museum. I think the artist from Asia did a very go0od job in making me feel that way, as their approach to the fine art was kind of filled with humor and self irony, and that is what I really miss in my own (western) culture, the ability to laugh about our own life and culture.
