Krátky popis
This collection of quotes demonstrates the elegant simplicity of Ai
Weiwei's thoughts on key aspects of his art, politics, and life. A
master at communicating powerful ideas in astonishingly few words,
Ai Weiwei is known for his innovative use of social media to
disseminate his views. The short quotations presented here have
been carefully selected from articles, tweets, and interviews given
by this acclaimed Chinese artist and activist.The book is organized
into six categories: freedom of expression, art and activism,
government, power, and moral choices, the digital world, history,
the historical moment, and the future, and personal reflections.
Together, these quotes span some of the most revealing moments of
Ai Weiwei's eventful career--from his risky investigation into
student deaths in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to his arbitrary
arrest in 2011--providing a window into the mind of one of the
world's most electrifying and courageous contemporary artists.
