Ai Weiwei

Ai Weiwei is one of the most influential artists of contemporary political art. His work confronts power, censorship, surveillance, exile, memory and human rights. He uses sculpture, installation, photography, film and social media to turn art into public resistance.

Ai Weiwei does not separate art from responsibility. His practice links personal history with collective trauma. It also exposes how states control bodies, images, speech and memory. In his work, beauty often carries accusation.
