A comprehensive presentation of Ai Weiwei's recent Public Art Fund
exhibition Good Fences Make Good Neighbors, a powerful reflection
on the global refugee crisis Internationally renowned Chinese
artist and activist Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) transformed over 300 sites
across New York City into a compelling, ambitious public art
exhibition concerned with the global refugee and migration crises.
Good Fences Make Good Neighbors (on view from October 2017 to
February 2018) consisted of immersive large-scale sculptures for
city monuments, fences on building facades and bus stops, and
portraits of refugees and immigrants displayed on outdoor banners.
This publication documents the extraordinary project from
conception to final installation, giving a behind-the-scenes look
at the research, preparatory drawings, planning, and fabrication
that brought it to life. The book includes an in-depth interview
with Ai Weiwei about the project's personal significance, an essay
by curator Nicholas Baume, and statements from a wide variety of
individuals-including Olafur Eliasson, David Miliband, Hans Ulrich
Obrist, and Jorge Ramos, among many others-about their interactions
with the artworks. As Baume asserts, "Ai Weiwei created a
remarkable model for what great public art strives to
be-emotionally engaging and politically resonant, conceptually and
formally inventive yet broadly accessible."
