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.

Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…
Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.
