Feng Yigui´s Monumental Sculptures

It may be hard to understand the fate of Chinese sculptor Feng Yigui since all we know about him is that he was born in 1942 in Si Chuan province where he graduated from an art school. Then he served in Chinese military for eight years. On his return to civilian life, he entered post-gradual studies and in 1976 he was involved in erecting the gigantic Mao Memorial.
For the most part, Yigui made figurative works. It wasn´t until the ´90s that he got involved in creating monuments on the state´s request. While he was making objects in bigger scale before, the state requests allowed him to work on giants like a 170 meters long Lying Budha sculpture.
Yigui died in 1995 just when the system started to loosen up its grip on art a little bit.

An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the “scandalous” realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.

Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future.
