taken Dam Square, Amsterdam. supposed to be chinese avant-garde art of some sort. damn pretty scary looking if you ask me.
i wonder which "xianfeng" characters they are:
1. 先锋? (which, according to the dictionary, exists. something like front line army troops or something.)
2. 先疯? (first to go crazy)
3. 仙疯? (immortal crazy or maybe crazy about immortal/s?)
or possibly even
4. 鲜疯? (freshly crazy?)
Option 1 makes most semantic sense, but maybe this is a pun on the word 锋, which leaves us with option 2.
there is much fun to be had when you are given only the pinyin. =)

I think some of his pieces were on display at the Esplanade once? I tried to take a photograph, and the security guard stopped me, saying that the artist didn't want people to photograph his works, which I'm sure isnot true, but just some bullshit reason. I think he was just being assholic.
yah - singaporean security guards are funny. everything cannot, and reasons are even more lame.
don't know what the artist's name is. think "xianfeng!" is the name of the exhibition?
the artist is yue min jun...probably one of the most exportable chinese artists around. hmmm, but all chinese artists are exportable nowadays - super flavour of the decade!
