"Wooden horse"

Ready made

 

Qiujiang road is an old street in Shanghai. On one side of the street there are many shops of second-hand goods where you can find those foreign goods which you¡äve never seen.

There I found a shop where wooden horse of only two RMB were sold. I saw that the seller wanted to sell it as quickly as possible, so I bought 100 wooden horses with 1,6 yuan each horse. And I prepared to sell it in ten yuan in the ¡§Suzhou River Party¡§of East Link. (I thought ten yuan was a good price, thus I could have a profit of 600%. I was sure that I could sell all because of the number of people in the party.)

Process of the production: The wooden horse is 15cm high, 24cm long and 5cm wide. We wrapped the horses in the kraft paper boxes and put labels on them. We also did a head portrait of Deng Xiao Ping dressed in Nepoleon¡äs clothes riding in the horse. (10cm*10cm)

Process of sale: After the opening of the exhibition, there were two beautiful girls who sold the horses in English and Chinese. People who wanted to buy the horse could see the portrait of Deng Xiao Ping.

Stock-taking: After the exhibition finished, except those given as presents and someone we kept, the other horses were all sold out. Finally I spent the money that we made in inviting all the artists to have dinner in a Hunan restaurant.
