Actually I didn't see the sets I was looking for: I had the London bus and the classic 1972 police station, and several general purpose kits. Still, it brought back good memories.

Too much concept, and not enough craft.
GQ:
Wow. I wholeheartedly disagree. Do you know how much craft goes into something like this? I agree that much of its substance lies in the conceptual, but my god man, that is a beautifully crafted art object. Check out the documentary PBS's art:21 did on him. You may appreciate the work more if you see how much knowledge and artistry goes into his pieces.
CRAKE:
Sorry for the terse comment, I just used your video as an occasion to whine about a pet peeve of mine, that a lot of artists these days only do just enough work to convey some concept or message, and don't particularly care about the quality of the end result.
The half-hearted mushroom cloud is a good example - or Damien Hirst paying some contractor to do the actual hands-on work of making his pieces.
Not much love seems to go into it, is what I'm saying, I guess.
Nah. Its cool. No offense taken. I don't post videos for everyone to just agree with my tastes. I like my tastes to be challenged. I actually killed the video because I found one that I absolutely had to post, but it had already been posted. So its gone now
In any case, there is a way in which much art these days seems half-hearted, as you would put it. And though I still don't agree that Qiang's work in any way constitutes a half-hearted attempt at conveying an idea or feeling, I understand where you are coming from. Hirst IS a particularly good example, and its easy to hate him when he is selling his shit for record-setting prices. Westy pointed out that the piece ended up looking like a giant piece of floating crap at the end. I think that is part of the point. For a moment, it is really beautiful, but that is really fading. Blah blah blah. I don't know... i bet it would have looked amazing if the quality of the video was better.
