"Everything is art. Everything is politics," says internationally
renowned artist Ai Weiwei. His statement informs this comprehensive
book that features sculptural installations, photographs, and
videos from every aspect of the artist's forty- year career and
touches on many contemporary social issues. The works featured in
the book include Straight, Ai's gigantic installation made from 150
tons of rebar salvaged from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which
comments on governmental corruption and negligence, and Sunflower
Seeds for which the artist filled the enormous Turbine Hall of
London's Tate Modern with 100,000,000 porcelain seeds, each made by
Chinese craftspeople. Also highlighted are his most recent works
addressing the refugee crisis, such as Laundromat and Life Cycle;
his provocative ventures into social media; and several early
works. Wide-ranging and penetrating, this collection of Ai's most
important work to date illustrates the depth of his conviction that
art is most powerful when it raises awareness and incites change.
