The hottest thing during the Chinese Cultural Revolution was the Little Red Book that good Maoists (and everyone in China, as its ownership was compulsory) carried around to better quote Chairman Mao Zedong.

How times have changed. These days, the hottest thing in London right now is the Miss Mao show at Blacklist Projects. Miss Mao is a group show entirely built around a sculpture -- specifically, the scandalous "Miss Mao" sculpture created by Chinese brothers Gao Zhen and Gao Qiang and smuggled out of China to avoid censorship.

The Miss Mao exhibition brings together Chinese artists, Chinese-British artists, and British artists who have something to say about the situation in contemporary China. In addition to sculpture, the show draws upon billboard art, video, photography and installation pieces to probe, politicize and pontificate about post-Mao China.

The show runs through August 13th, so -- if you're not already in London -- you'd better buy your tickets soon. And bring your Little Red Book, too.
