Perhaps not the best show, or most thought provoking but still loads of fun was Sun Yuan & Peng Yu, DEAR, at Galerie Perrotin in the Rue de Turenne. A statue of an old granny seems to be taking her ray out for a stroll amid a flock of exotic stuffed birds, while in another room a social gathering has turned a bunch of swells into rock heads. There were several other elements to this show, including an interesting video, a live performance at the opening by a creepy man with no arms or legs, an air hose gone berserk and a large pot of spilled bean soup. This is a show that would look good in the windows of a department store, but also was a welcome tonic after seeing alot of deadly dull high end minimalist painting, which seems to be fashionable in the quartier.
