...Another band of Chinese artists has pushed boundaries by depicting the lost souls trying to find their place in a rapidly developing society. Surrounded by the capitalist trappings that China's leaders hope will sate a politically repressed populace - chic clothes, cell phones, fast-food wrappers - these lonely figures wear blank or artificially cheery expressions. "As a child, my classmates and I sang revolutionary songs, and we had to write Mao's expressions over and over," says 43-year-old Zeng Fanzhi, whose portrait of a masked man with a cauterized visage sold for $1.63 million in London last month...

...What was most striking about the whole interaction was neither the doggedness of Repent America nor the humorous antagonism of the crowd. (At one point, Borat showed up and agreed that “The homosexuals, they wear blue hats, they must be execute.”) It was how concerned everyone seemed. Eric and his cohorts stayed for the full two hours debating with the man on the stepladder. I asked the man holding the less-offensive sign (John 14:6) what they hoped to accomplish by talking to a crowd of inebriated people in costume...
