'Hype comes with the territory': CJ Hendry addresses Flower Market scalpers ahead of JuJu exhibit in Singapore

Australian artist CJ Hendry is gearing up for the debut of her 'JuJu World' exhibition at Singapore's Gardens by the Bay. The upcoming show features art created with the assistance of artificial intelligence, specifically ChatGPT, a process Hendry embraced to make art more accessible.

Hendry has spoken openly about her creative process, acknowledging the role of AI in generating the pieces. This innovative approach reflects a desire to explore new frontiers in art creation and potentially lower barriers to entry for audiences.

Hype comes with the territory

As the exhibition approaches, Hendry also addressed the inevitable 'hype' that comes with such events, including the potential for scalpers. "Hype comes with the territory," she remarked, indicating an acceptance of the market dynamics surrounding popular art. When asked about people reselling her work at higher prices, she responded with a pragmatic, "so be it," suggesting a philosophical stance on the commodification of art once it enters the public domain.
