I was lucky enough to be invited to go to the new Saatchi Gallery on the day it opened! It was awesome! The collection is a set of Charles Saatchi’s latest aquisitions from China. “The Revolution Continues: New Art From China” My particular favourites were “Love It! Bite It!” a huge city sculpture in the opening room made entirely from edible dog chews by Liu Wei , “Civilization, Bai Yilou’s corrupted vision of imperious power built on labourer’s toil in an installation of 12 ceramic busts with agricultural tools going through their heads, and Zhang Huans giant “Ash Head” sculpture made from incense ash!
