THE GAO BROTHERS | DISSIDENTS ABROAD
“The Gao Brothers' art is a stark appraisal of some of the most sensitive elements of current Chinese society, from politicians to prostitutes.”
- Ai Weiwei, artist & curator of their Beijing exhibition
Beijing-based artists Gao Qiang and Gao Zhen are known as the Gao Brothers. They have collaborated on projects in a wide variety of media including sculpture, painting, performance, and photography since 1985. Much of their work is inspired by their family’s experience during China’s 1966-1967 Cultural Revolution. In 1968, brothers’ father was arrested as a counter-revolutionary, and days later, died in custody.
The Gao Brothers' Exhibition opens to the general public without charge:
