I don't know how they made the statues so incredibly lifelike.

I also had to wonder how such an exhibit would fly in the land of the free and sexually oppressed.
It's not Mapplethorpe, but I bet the Righties would try to shut it down inside a week just because their knees jerk so reflexively.

1. WOW!!!

That is all I can say. That is amazing! I love the sculpture of mother & child right after birth. That is SOOOOOO cool.

[whistle]

2. Yep, the last four photos look like KKKarl Rove after hours

...I think the works are excellent. Funny how the Russians have moved in the direction of humanism while here in the U.S. the rethugs would rather have art which looks like this:

6. Funny you should say that....

I used that for a ROVE PhotoShop over a year ago:

3. Wow - I really like how that series of pictures misleads you

on the true size of the figures, only to reveal the dimensions in a later frame. It's a very cool photo-display of a very cool exhibit; I'd love to visit it.

(The big bald guy leaning on the wall looks very familiar - I feel like I've seen a sculpture very like that before.)

8. You may have seen that bald statue's torso here at DU; see my post above!

10. That could be, but it's more the head/face that seems familiar

Maybe I'm thinking of Marlon Brando or someone...

Your image is excellent, by the way - I look forward to seeing the real thing!

11. G. Dubya without Laura riding his ass about drinking and drugging

5. Wouldn't last 5 minutes in the US...

Heck, they had to spend $10,000 to cover up Lady Justice (or whatever that statue's name was that Ashcroft covered up for having a bare breast...)

Thanks for posting the link!
