Astrological sign sculptures coming to Greenway

Ai Weiwei, Circle of Animals/Zodiac

In April, Chinese contemporary artist, Ai Weiwei’s 12 mounted bronze statues entitled, “Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads” will grace part of Boston’s Greenway.  The 10′ high sculptures have already appeared in cities around the world including, London, Los Angeles, Taipei, and Paris.

These look a tad frightening to me and I’m sure they will be the subject of a lot of discussion once they are on display.
