| "The Execution of Christ" by the Gao Brothers |
UNITED KINGDOM---In a recent work by the
Gao Brothers, we saw Chairman Mao Zedong's firing squad taking aim at Jesus. The piece, titled, "The Execution of Christ," (2009) is forbidden to return to China due to its controversial depiction of the leader; however, it is now is being exhibited for the first time in Europe at SHOWStudio in London. "The Execution" is the centerpiece of
SHOWStudio's exhibition "Death," surrounded by works that similarly access the transitional period between life and death. [
