Kansas City, MO – This will be the Gao brothers' first museum exhibit in the United States, and one of the most complicated that the Kemper Museum has ever taken on. KCUR's Sylvia Maria Gross spoke to Gao Zhen, Gao Qiang and curators about the show.

Gao Brothers: Grandeur and Catharsis runs through January 2, 2011 at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
