Switzerland's 'Good Guys', Beijing
Featured by its post-modernistic spirit of irony, low-key and mix and match, more than 400 pieces of contemporary works are displayed on rows of dragonlike shelves made from over 100,000 pairs of chopsticks, either putting or hanging on the chopstick shelf. Most of these exhibits are related to the theme of reality, representing the unique standpoint and critical sense of self-examination of all the participating designers in regard to the mix and match in this globalization era.
Date: Till Oct 17
Venue: National Museum of China
