So - I finally got a chance to get to Civic Center and see Zhang Huan's colossal sculpture "Three Heads Six Arms." It's gorgeous and stunning - and is perfectly placed across from San Francisco's beautiful Asian Art Museum. The sculpture has caused a bit of a stir here - both because it's been the target of spraypaint taggers and because christians are making a stink saying that if the city erected a three faced, six armed JESUS statue that it would be met with protests and screaming vs. adoration and happiness.

I think it's simply one of the most beautiful sculptures I've ever seen.
