During the 2009-11 Vancouver Biannual Art Exhibitions, 14 playful bronze sculptures called A-maze-ing Laughter were added to Morton Park in Vancouver, Canada. The faces are the likeness of Beijing artist Yue Minjun and have become his signature trademark. Each ten foot statue strikes a different, almost cartoonish pose of hysterical laughter and solicits smiles, smirks and laughs from those who walk around them. The collection was purchased in 2012, so the laughing giants will be permanently displayed near the shore of English Bay.
