Auflage. 21,8 x 28,5 cm (softcover) 219 pages (196 color ill.) - This monograph on Ai Weiwei's work offers an overview of and an in-depth reflection on the artist's most vibrant and celebrated projects. Since 1993, Ai Weiwei has been working as an artist, architect, curator, author, and art critic in Beijing. For the first time a major monograph sheds light on the conceptual approaches and the meanings behind Ai Weiwei's work by focusing on thematic topics and the material and media used. The publication shows a variety of works realized by the artist as installations, objects, and videos. It also includes photographic snapshots of his blog and a discussion of his social sculpture "Fairytale" at Documenta 12 in Kassel for which Ai Weiwei had invited 1001 Chinese citizens to participate, as well as his new works in porcelain.
