Zhang Huan’s Ash Jesus and Ash Buddha

in Art, Historical
Zhang Huan’s Ash Jesus and Ash Buddha

Yesterday’s post made me think all of you guys are secret practical Catholics (only one freakin’ like), so no more Knights of Columbus mentions here. That sucks because I was planning on lots of religious museums, collections and exhibits for the upcoming Easter/Passover holidays, well, maybe this next one will be better received. I have no idea where Macao (or is Macau?) is in the world, and because I’m an American I don’t have to. If I ever figure out where the hell it is, then I can visit artist Zhang Huan’s Ash Jesus and Ash Buddha.

Standing over eight feet high, these steel and wood frame sculptures are made of incense ashes carried by pilgrims and taken from temples. The figures are displayed facing each other, the ash gives them an eerie look, but the artist hopes people will see the similarities between the Eastern and Western religions. Last year the two deities were shown in a large exhibition entitled “East Wind, West Wind” located in a Louis Vuitton store in Macao. Did visitors get a free Jesus purse?
