Beijing art fair

oh, poor Art Beijing, Beijing's sad little art fair that pales in comparison to the recent more rockin' Sh Contemporary Art Fair. I went to the opening party of Art Beijing and mostly spent time talking to people...the art was really mediocre and lots of art galleries I had never heard of. plus there was some downright dreadful stuff...including this Italian gallery which had some opera singer performing right outside their booth. Something tells me this would not happen at Art Basel or whatever, but since I rarely go to art fairs, I don't really know.
