Ai WeiWei
Architecture
Caroline Klein
Ai Weiwei is undoubtedly one of the most
significant Chinese artists of our time. He works
as an architect, an independent curator, a
conceptual artist and is the founder of the "China
Art Warehouse" gallery. His work, in part
politically motivated, is strongly influenced by
Dadaism and the New York conceptual art
movement. Ai Weiwei combines Eastern placidity
with an artistic will to provoke. This monograph
documents the eclecticism of his extravagant and
innovative body of works.
