Ai Weiwei - Evidence

by Gereon Sievernich
Ai Weiwei - Evidence
Ai Weiwei - Evidence

Contemporary Chinese art meets political resistance.

If you're drawn to the intersection of art and activism, "Ai Weiwei - Evidence" might resonate deeply with you. Ai Weiwei's blend of sculpture, installation, and narrative challenges censorship and celebrates freedom of expression. This book not only showcases his provocative works but also includes scholarly insights, offering a poignant look into a courageous artist's stand against oppression. It's both an art book and a bold political statement that echoes in today's global struggles for human rights.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Accompanying a major new exhibition of Ai Weiwei’s work, including many pieces made especially for the show, this book features numerous illustrations, texts by the artist as well as informed essays by leading scholars. A renowned sculptor, installation artist, filmmaker, author and human rights activist, Ai Weiwei is contemporary China’s most well-known and influential artist. His work has attracted international attention for its criticism of the Chinese government. Much of Ai Weiwei’s work is a reflection of his own feelings of imprisonment, rage, and powerlessness. This book offers reproductions of the approximately 50 works in the exhibition, some of which were specially created for Berlin’s Martin-Gropius-Bau museum, and some even more specifically for the building’s enormous glass-topped atrium. From large installations to smaller dioramas, these works present Ai’s most recent artistic expressions of resistance, courage, and historical truth.
