Laughing Statues at English Bay, Vancouver BC 2 " Vancouver Biennale 2009-2011 "

[GalacticPacific]

investigation of the artist who is sanctioned by the Government of China shows his works portray laughing Asian men with horns as in"Between Men and Animals. In Vancouver, the statues are titled Amazing laughter, the artist claims ecstatic joy but it is not joy despite the smiles. Most revealing postures is the statues hands raised behind the head as devil horns. Chinese slang for white people is Foreign devils "Gwello" Very telling indeed. I believe they are laughing at our ignorance.
