Most important icon of all China's history of art. True one man army in this critical situation in china.. From whole china only one man is well civilize that you Ai weiwei. You are guru of all art and activities..
The interviewer is REALLY good, did he plan what he was going to say beforehand? It sounded pretty freestyle the way he asks Ai Weiwei questions, and I think we got all we needed to know from this.
have been lived in Beijing for 8 years and am now living in London to seek further study and have just visited the exhibition of AI WEIWEI in Royal Academic of Arts. What I want to say about Beijing is, it is quite crowded because there are so many many people there, to seek their future or old dreams, this is where the people, especially the youth can have an opportunity to change what they want. Beijing vs China is like London vs UK. I was taking underground to get off work and go to work, its hard to imagine how bad I feel about the pressure and crowd. However, what can I do? how can I balance my dream and reality? I feel kind of lost in thinking about this. In my field, how can I to expand art? the let more people enjoy the process and beautiful environment in art, that is quite difficult to change, considering the education system, people balance , society, freedom, and social norm about capital and spiritual enjoyment. While I know, every social system has its own ads and disads, you can't ignore Beijing has given to you and help to you even though I know there is much to be done and changed and predicted. Also, people are changing too, so I will give my hope to Beijing.
I completely agree with your point! I think when society and the whole system depends so much on the financial powers things are getting harder and harder for people to have a comfortable life. Trying to pursuit art as a career is not easy and it wasn't too different than now in the past ... but talent, determination and passion will certainly help...getting a good education is the first step ;)
went to his exhibition in Melbourne ! lived in china in 11 years and I laughed alone like a psycho after I read ( I love turning over cars , it is strength sport but I like it ) , seems likenobody know what means except me e
