Description
This strikingly designed book explores how, through his work, Ai Weiwei raises a series of questions about cultural violence and critically reflects on China's history. He continues to fashion the Chinese cultural landscape courageously and with uncompromising vigour. Ai Weiwei: Under Construction will be published to coincide with an exhibition over two venues; May 1 - July 26 at Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, and April 30 - June 29 at Campbelltown Arts Centre, and includes works from the exhibition. "Ai Weiwei continues to fashion the cultural landscape of China resolutely, collaboratively, courageously and with uncompromising vigour ...He has become, and will remain, a key cultural figure of our time." Dr Gene Sherman, Chair and Executive Director, Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation
