Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head

 Brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Qiang,  make all their work together.  Their pieces have been censored and confiscated by authorities.  China has not appreciated the Gao brothers work portraying political figures and events.  Their first solo show was at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art this year.  The sculpture stands outside the Kemper.

I gotta go see this. Wasn't there the last time i was at the Kemper in 5/10. Reminds me of the heroic statue of Lenin somebody set up in a little square in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle.

That is a pretty interesting statue of Lenin with a little person on his head.
