  • ok, nice work, impressive,

    & he give some work for lot of peoples, but in the same times, no one uses mask or other protection staff, when using toxic painting, pffffffffffffffffffffffff

  • Eating seeds is a pastime activity...

  • @LTee2010 after meaning find facts? thats not how science works you stupid cunt, fact dont tell the truth and they dont lie thats why they are facts. They cold not be facts if they could. I am not here to open my mind or like an ill-thatched roof so passion has made its way into your unreflecting mind. You need to stop seeking meaning, and see it. This is not art. it is a waste of time money and resources. Please do not respond to this as you seem to be a waste of life

  • @JesusSanchezz it is important to know the the meaning first, after meaning you should find the facts, if the fact is telling you the truth. Then it means that you have done your homework. I did mine...so that means you didn't open your mind for open discussion to yourself. There is anger inside your word....i would first erase that and then try to know the meaning of his art. I bet it will be a relieve to your heart.

  • @LTee2010 He made a bunch of fake seeds why is that important in the least bit? People starving to death and shit everyday...this man wants some fake fuckin seeds...your imagination must be rusted and wrinkled you god damn retard. There is no mystery to a painted rock...lol please dont talk to me any more you are a waste of life.

  • @FloridaRaider Yes in a perfect world, these people would be working on more economically productive work, however they said their selves that many porcelain factories have been shut down due to lack of work. Who's to say that this project wasn't useful and tangible anyway? It was exhibited in the most popular modern art gallery in the world and has succeeded in bringing this argument about, over the low pay and exploitation of Chinese workers.

  • @JesusSanchezz if this man is stupidest fucking thing u have ever seen then you haven't grown to the level of people who understand the philosophy behind it. I think you should read some history and then compare it to the present situation of world and specially the system of china. It's far more beyond even my imagination. it's that complex.

  • @Muckydoggy1 Yeah I understand what art is. I'm happy that they are getting paid for doing SOMETHING even it is to placate an artist. But that isn't be best use of of manpower to increase the overall standard of living. Producing something tangible and useful would add much more to strengthen that community.

  • @FloridaRaider The craftspeople who made the seeds were paid at double the average pay of a normal Chinese worker. How is that exploitation? Just because you don't understand a piece of art, or your definition of art is that of your own twisted opinion doesn't mean you're right to voice an unjustified and truthless fact in protest against that which you don't, or choose not to, understand.

  • very powerful , very impressive ,not just beatiful but "spirit of people"
