Across the street from art hue is Sang Sang Ma Dang. Its one of those buildings where the architect got paid a lot of money. I think its three or four levels. The first level has a shop that sells cute non-functional items for way to much money. There were lots of people around for the Micheal Jackson exhibit (more on that later). The second floor had a collaboration between various products and artists. I'm not sure how putting a Nike bag next to a painting is a collaboration but what the hell. Nike looks way cooler and people actually see the artists work, so everyone wins. There were a few really cool artist's paintings which I got some photos of. Some of the art was just over done pop. Like skulls and stuff. But even that was OK. Yes it is worth checking out. The website on the flyer is www.sangsangmadang.com Tel: 02-330-6225. They also have a few books you can buy along with stickers. The next level was the Micheal Jackson Exhibit to remember him. The tiny figures were cool but most of the art work was horrible. Unless your a huge fan don't waste your time. I got stopped by two Micheal Jackson fans. Weird. There were a lot of people there which I thought was weird. I enjoy Michel Jackson's music especially his first solo record and his early 90s stuff. But I didn't see point to the the whole exhibit thing. However if Robert Pollard (Guided by voices singer) died tomorrow I'd be at his exhibit in a heartbeat. It seems like more people care about him now because he's gone. What's funny is he only put out six albums or something like that. But hey, he did have the smooth criminal dance (the actual mechanics of the stage performance was patented).
