Chinese Artist Arrested Over Tiananmen Burger Sculpture

A Chinese man was arrested by the Red Chinese government because he made a sculpture of Tiananmen Square out of sausage meat. Maybe he should have used ground dog meat instead.

From the DailyMail here:

A Chinese-born Australian artist has reportedly been arrested in China following his recent media interview about the student-led protest and military crackdown in June 1989, also known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre.

The 52-year-old made contact with friends via text message to inform them that he’d been taken from his home in eastern Beijing on Sunday night.
The former soldier has also caused a stir with his latest art work – a diorama of Tiananmen Square covered in 160kg of minced pork.

The alleged arrest comes after a profile of Guo, a former protester in China’s 1989 pro-democracy movement, appeared in the Financial Times newspaper on May 30 in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the military crackdown on the student protest centered around the large city square.
The article also featured images of his latest installation ‘The Square’ covered in ground meat – which had turned a greyish green hue due to the hot weather – was created by the artist as he ‘wanted to do something privately to mark the anniversary’.
Guo was also highly critical of the People’s Liberation Army’s actions during the 1989 incident.

160kg of meat is a lot of food! He massacred several pigs to make his massacre sculpture. I gotta admit, I’ve never seen Tiananmen square look so tasty- at least before it rotted in the sun.
