Knowing this earlier, Jin Muchen would not have paid for the air ticket from the United States to Australia. www.geiliwx.com

Speaking of this trip to Australia, it was actually a spur of the moment. Before coming, I also considered that he is already a well-known figure in the Taobao world in the United States, so it is inconvenient to often go to those second-hand markets to buy goods.

Because if you are accidentally recognized, then don't think about finding anything good.

Secondly, it was also because of a series of events that happened in the United States recently, so I came out to relax, and I saw on the Internet before that this advertisement for the second-hand art sale festival in Australia was going to be held, which moved my mind.

But who would have thought that when I got here, I found out that it was not the case at all.

This so-called national second-hand art sale festival is actually a gimmick made by the Sydney government and some local performance artists.

Many so-called works of art are simply the works of some unknown local art lovers.

These guys came to European countries because of their ancestors, so their artistic hobbies are also deeply influenced by European countries. In terms of artistic creation, they closely follow the trend of European art creation.

Many of the things that have come out are avant-garde artworks that are more popular in Europe and the United States, or things that are post-modern art.

But they don't have the hundreds or thousands of years of European countries, so many of the things they come up with are nondescript.

For example, the porcelain and glass bottles that Jin Muchen saw on the first floor imitate the popular French artistic ceramic model, they look beautiful, but if you think about it carefully, you can't understand what this thing really wants to express. what idea.

In Europe, especially France, this is a famous producer of art ceramics, their art ceramics, especially modern works. Many of them are fine works of contemporary art ceramics, and there are also many internationally renowned art masters.

These works of art masters, and now they take out one piece and put it up for auction, they can fetch hundreds of thousands at random. Even millions of euros.

But the works created by others are not aimless. Although many artistic ceramics look strange in shape, they can be tasted carefully. Still able to taste the theme ideas that people want to express.

However, it is difficult for you to understand the artistic ceramics created by these so-called Australian artists. They have beautiful appearance, but they have incomprehensible connotations. To put it bluntly, they are a pair of things that have their own appearance.

In addition, many small details are not handled properly. For example, on some ceramic artworks, you can still see burrs and trachoma during firing, which shows that their firing technology is not in place, even not as good as domestic ones. What about those unknown kilns in Jingdezhen?

Jin Muchen was greatly disappointed by the first floor alone. Not to mention the woodworking handicrafts on the second floor, which are some original things, such as rocking chairs with relatively fine workmanship, and some wooden table and chair furniture imitating Chinese style.

In terms of workmanship materials, it can be regarded as fine, but looking at the price, it is not so comfortable.

At such a price, I can buy better things in the United States. After seeing those things, Jin Muchen cursed inwardly.

On the third floor and the fourth floor, Jin Muchen took a look around. They are all created by some modern artists without any fuss, and many of them have to be far-fetched to bring a little local indigenous features, such as those wood-carved sculptures of indigenous chiefs, obviously with the style of North American Indian chiefs. However, it is necessary to depict the tattoo pattern that the local indigenous people like on the face. It looks very complicated, but the price is extremely expensive. Jin Muchen only looked around for a while and was not interested in continuing to read it.

It only took less than an hour, Jin Muchen watched it all at once, and then walked out of the venue.

when coming out. He kept shaking his head, what the hell, I won't come back next time in this bad place. At this time, all he could think about was to book a plane ticket when he got back to the hotel, and then hurry back to the United States.

This broken place is completely unnecessary, making him waste time and energy.

After getting into the car, Jin Muchen was not in high spirits because of his disappointment, so he asked the driver to drive directly back to the hotel.

The driver of the car was a young white man named Maureen. This guy was a chatter. When he came, he was chatting non-stop all the way. When he saw where Jin Muchen came out of the dejected, this guy had a bit of a wink, no. Dare to talk nonsense.

But just as the car was approaching the hotel, the trip slowed down because of the traffic jam.

Mo Lin, who had been holding back all the way, looked at Jin Muchen sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and asked tentatively, "What? Mr. Jin, are you disappointed with that art exhibition?"

"Yeah! I didn't expect it to be like this at all. I thought there would be some good things, but I didn't expect the things in it. It's really not on the table. I think there are many skills like apprentice workers, which can't be called at all. It's art."

Although this Maureen is Australian, Jin Muchen didn't plan to save face for Australians at all. This second-hand sale really disappointed him.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his comments, Mo Lin was not angry at all, but instead cooperated with him with a smile.

"You're not wrong at all. To be honest, I've been there once, and I don't want to go there again, for fear of contaminating my eyes. Even those **** things dare to call it art? It's a fool! Those junk, I think they should just be swept straight into the trash."

The driver said this, but it aroused Jin Muchen's interest in complaining.

"Oh? You've been to this second-hand sale before? Isn't this just held this year by the City of Sydney?"

"Haha, you're asking the right person. Mr. Jin will tell you the truth. I used to be an art student at the University of Sydney, and my main specialty was sculpture. This second-hand sale exhibition was held for the first time this year. But he used to have a predecessor. He used to be a local artist Jeff. McCann started a handicraft workshop in the rock area. In fact, it is to teach some people with little skills to make handmade furniture and wallets and other small workshops. Later, because of some fame, plus this Jeff is very good at hype, and I don't know how he got on with Mayor Perry, that old woman, so this year's second-hand sale exhibition was born."

Jin Muchen didn't expect that the young man driving the car actually studied sculpture before. In addition, he heard local people like him say that such a sale exhibition is more reliable, so he was interested in talking.

"So that's the case? So you've seen Jeff's handicraft workshop before!"

"Of course, I went to see it, and I was ignorant before. I read the newspapers that this Jeff was very powerful, so I went there a few times. But after a few times, I understood that this guy is at best a poor man. Carpenter. Think about it, what kind of good works can the 'artists' taught by such a guy make? And in recent years, because of the worldwide economic downturn, many young people can't find jobs, and the government can't let it go They wandered the streets, so they advocated this kind of activity vigorously, so that these guys could have a place to learn some crafts from this Jeff. But as you can see, this Jeff himself is an inexperienced carpenter. It's no wonder that the works created by these disciples can be sold. Because these things have no market, the government has held such a second-hand art sale exhibition. In fact, they want to use their junk works to fool some people. Big head."

Ma Lin, a local expert, of course knows more about the truth than Jin Muchen, but after hearing what he said, Jin Muchen almost fainted. Damn, it turned out that he had been looking forward to the second-hand sales festival in Australia for so long, and it was just to fool those who took advantage of it. what!

"Actually, it's not that we don't have excellent artists in Australia, it's just that after these artists became famous, they all chose to immigrate to the United States, or the United Kingdom, or to settle in those art-developed areas in Europe, and those who stayed in the country were actually all Some second-rate, or even less-than-class guys, expecting them to come up with some kind of art is pure nonsense."

Mo Lin complained to Jin Muchen while driving, and at this time Jin Muchen's heart was already cold and cold. It seems that this time when he came to Australia, he was completely impulsive!

"Is it possible that there is no good art market in this Sydney area?"

Jin Muchen asked a question very unwillingly. As soon as he said these words, he saw a strange smile on Mo Lin's face in the rearview mirror in front of him.

"Actually, it's not a bad place to go. There is Moore Park in the Rocks, where there is a big second-hand market every Saturday and Sunday. But you have to go in the morning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ preferably four o'clock Just go, between four and six, you can still see a lot of good things, of course, people there only accept cash, so you must take safety precautions before going."

When Maureen said this, Jin Muchen basically understood that there are ghost markets in the Sydney area similar to the Rose Bowl in the United States!

It is held between four and six, and it only accepts cash, which has already explained everything. Most of the things sold there must be stolen goods.

And as long as it is stolen goods, this means that there will definitely be a lot of things you want there. Thinking of this, Jin Muchen's eyes lit up.

"Mauren, do you have time tomorrow morning? I want you to be my guide and take me to the morning market in Namoor Park, what do you think? Uh... the heat won't let you For nothing, the salary is 100 Australian dollars per hour!"

"That's great... Mr. Kim, of course I'm happy to help!"

The corners of Maureen's mouth opened happily behind his ears. . . (To be continued.) Happy reading every day
