when zhao tweeted ai weiwei, by Gentle Mental on May 31, 2012 10:00:26 GMT 1, Last night, zhao tweeted ai weiwei, showed ai images of zhao's latest prints, created a very mini twitter frenzy, before ai placed his last tweet for the night with a incredibly poignant/funny comment.
16 hours later, zhao is still shaking with excitement.
here's my very poor translation of the event:
(NOW MODIFIED FOR EASY(ish) READING...) zhao was using highlyframable's twitter account.
zhao: using very shallow, superficial, with no traditional understanding of beauty, I made a cartoon of you. Would really like to hear what you think?
Attached:
Ai Weiwei: Looks fun, could be more โhighโ. Yiteng Shi: Oh. Itโs cute/cheeky. Christina: Mao wei wei Wimish: Feels like everyone looks like mao New wave: Retro style, shallow, or are you anti deep? pretending to be what youโre not? zhao: this is a low budget promotional activity. Not graffiti. Should be legal!!
Ai Weiwei: Not bad
Attached: zhao: GIANT! Careful!
Ai Weiwei: ! !
zhao: Thanks for your โnot badโ! this will be the beginning of a global campaign! Here comes the giant!
Miao: The audience does not like this. Repeating the image on Maoโs body is unbearable. Do it on ultraman (cartoon hero) is a better choice. Taigaking12: Why does it look like Mao? Are you crazy? Fan Qiang: isnโt this Ai (weiwei) Mao? Used to be Love Mao, now the name has changed.
Ai Weiwei: Hmm. miao - "The audience does not like this. Repeating the image on Maoโs body is unbearable. Do it on ultraman (cartoon hero) is a better choice."
zhao: Itโs Chairman Ai. While in Guangzhou, I came across lots of Maos in gold frames hanging. Want to make my own leaderโs portraits to hang in every home and office
YUANZHAO1: The audience thinks itโs best you donโt say this is your creation. Ai Weiwei: Quite a few Retweets youโre getting! Zengyinng1980: Cool! (?) li2nd: I recommend a fat version of japanese hero riding grass mud horse, haha
zhao: grass mud horse? I have them! in this weiweicam piece!
YUANZHAO1: The audience thinks itโs best you donโt say you created this creation by yourself. zhao: okโฆ I did not create this by myself Ai Weiwei: I too, did not, create myself by myself. (I too, did not give birth to me.)
zhao paused for a long while...
zhao: I want to send you these artwork tomorrow morning. Can I have an address? AirSurG: 233~ Miao: really think you take craft too seriously, your craft is fine, very detailed, but your thinking is too simple and traditional. If you are a young person, please show us some young person style/spirit! Runningninin:But I mature (cooked) by myself. โAi Weiwei I too, did not, give birth (create) to myself.โ (birth has another meaning as raw, and mature has another meaning as cooked.) and so onโฆ
follow ai on twitter: @aiww follow highlyframable: highly framable
www.highlyframable.com

"STEREOTYPES" EP #10 - "WORD ON THE STREET" (Pt.1), by Gentle Mental on May 27, 2012 7:34:45 GMT 1, niceeee... looks very fun. can't wait.
more galleries should be like this, alive and involved. Be as creative as the wares they sell. A lot are not doing it for fear of cheapening the work... keeping a thick opaque distance between itself and public as the way to keep the prices artificially up.
Very refreshing! well done, mr rae & co.

Zhao ๐ธ๐ฌ Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Gentle Mental on May 22, 2012 11:36:16 GMT 1, yes, i've seen earlier version of this print, and there are a lot of nice little details in it, two to 3 screens. the deepest being a screen of calligraphic scribbles of the chinese words "grass, mud, horse" which has the same phonic sounds as a really crude phrase ai weiwei used to describe the "people-in-charge"
weiweicam.com/ is the site that inspired this piece. the site's not working in Singapore now... not sure if it does in your part of the world.
would really love to hear your thoughts on this piece. good and bad.

mau mau....what the hell???, by Gentle Mental on May 16, 2012 1:07:04 GMT 1, I think poor resale price happens when there are more flippers than genuine buyers/collectors.
add that to the fact that buyers who really want a mau mau can usually score one eventually if they try hard enough.
the opposite applies to phlegm, as phelgm gain sudden huge interest from everyone from his last print, and flippers just got in on the action, and supply has always been sparse as scarce = high price on the bay.
i think mau mau's print are gorgeous. btw. bought one cuz i like it.

Mikael, by Gentle Mental on Apr 25, 2012 17:35:33 GMT 1, yes, so glad Mikael's joining the highly framable gang.
the man is nuts. quite self destructive. but his work is big, textured, and traffic stopping.
"pretty car crashes" was what came to my mind when i first saw the early pieces two years ago.
