Although he hasn&#8217;t been in town long, Tien&#8217;s work is sure to make a big splash. If most modern art seems to be trying to grab your attention, Tien&#8217;s project for the Triennale aims to give something back. As part of Singapore art collective Post-Museum, Tien is working on the &#8220;Fukuoka Really Really Free Market&#8221; (FRRFM). &#8220;We&#8217;re going to work with volunteers to create &#8216;free zones&#8217; around Fukuoka,&#8221; says Tien. Within the free zone people are encouraged to share objects and services for free, and Tien hopes that it will make people think about the idea of &#8220;alternative economies&#8221;. Tien says he&#8217;s met many Fukuoka people who are excited about the project, and says he&#8217;s looking forward to seeing a Fukuoka interpretation of &#8220;alternative economy&#8221;. So get out there and share the wealth!
