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.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Inglés. Ai Weiwei ist der bekannteste chinesische Künstler, regimekritische Dissident der Gegenwart und ein Multitalent: Seine evident politischen Botschaften vermittelt er in Plastiken, Installationen, Fotos, Filmen, Büchern und seit dem er nicht mehr ins Ausland reisen darf verstärkt über Twitter. Der Berliner Martin-Gropius-Bau zeigt in der bisher größten Einzelausstellung des Künstlers Arbeiten, die noch nie in Deutschland zu sehen waren. Ai Weiwei bespielt mit seinen Werken das gesamte, ca. 3000 Quadratmeter umfassende Erdgeschoss des Ausstellungsgebäudes. Für jeden der 20 Räume sowie den Lichthof entwickelt er eine eigene Komposition, mehr als die Hälfte der Werke entsteht direkt für die Berliner Schau. In kurzen Einführungen zum Tafelteil vermittelt der Künstler seine persönliche Sicht auf die Kunstwerke. Für den vorliegenden Band werden diese Werke eigens aufgenommen und präsentieren zusammen mit den fundierten Texten der wichtigsten Kenner des OEuvres von Ai Weiwei einen umfassenden Überblick über das ebenso faszinierende wie berührende Schaffen des "chinesischsten aller Künstler, die wir aus China kennen", wie ihn Gereon Sievernich, Direktor des Martin-Gropius-Baus, charakterisiert.
