SFMOMA says…

With China the topic du jour this summer, SFMOMA weighs in with a look at the post-Tiananmen art scene. In over 50 paintings, sculptures, and installations, the ghost of Mao lingers and a dreamlike quality pervades, revealing China as a place still waking up to its contemporary self. Fang Lijun's bald, grimacing faces romp by the sea; Zeng Fanzhi's subjects hide behind masks; and Sui Jianguo's installation fills an entire room with swarms of tiny toy dinosaurs, laid out in the shape of the Asian continent and massed around a life-sized, slumbering Mao.
