Hi Britta
I can not pass your comment about using dead humans - can you tell me more
about the the artist and context and medium ... photographs?

I am continually amazed at the gutsy and critical content that comes from
many chinese artists and also that the government tolerates these opinions -

'the last laugh' was in reference to the discussion on this list about the
sensation exhibition, and that i had raised the issue that it did not tie
into the direct focus of this list ... and then ....  i resurrect  a comment


....
