Abstract

Ai Weiwei ist der bekannteste chinesische Künstler, regimekritische Dissident der Gegenwart und ein Multitalent: Seine evident politischen Botschaften vermittelt er in Plastiken, Installationen, Fotos, Filmen, Büchern und seit dem er nicht mehr ins Ausland reisen darf verstärkt über Twitter. Der Berliner Martin-Gropius-Bau zeigt in der bisher größten Einzelausstellung des Künstlers Arbeiten, die noch nie in Deutschland zu sehen waren. Ai Weiwei bespielt mit seinen Werken das gesamte, ca. 3000 Quadratmeter umfassende Erdgeschoss des Ausstellungsgebäudes. Für jeden der 20 Räume sowie den Lichthof entwickelt er eine eigene Komposition, mehr als die Hälfte der Werke entsteht direkt für die Berliner Schau. In kurzen Einführungen zum Tafelteil vermittelt der Künstler seine persönliche Sicht auf die Kunstwerke. Für den vorliegenden Band werden diese Werke eigens aufgenommen und präsentieren zusammen mit den fundierten Texten der wichtigsten Kenner des _uvres von Ai Weiwei einen umfassenden Überblick über das ebenso faszinierende wie berührende Schaffen des "chinesischsten aller Künstler, die wir aus China kennen", wie ihn Gereon Sievernich, Direktor des Martin-Gropius-Baus, charakterisiert.

Abstract

"The first comprehensive monograph on this key figure in China's burgeoning art scene. Often working with ancient materials - beams from destroyed temples, Han dynasty urns - Ai Weiwei (b.1957) creates ingenious sculptures that break new artistic ground while commenting on the rapid transformation of contemporary China. Ai Weiwei's work is consistently innovative and unmistakably original, ranging from his sculptures and photographs to his numerous architectural commissions, and recalls the work of his artistic forebears Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. A towering figure whose influence can be seen in the multiplicity of his roles: not just an artist, designer and architect, but also curator, publisher, web blogger and cultural compass for an entire generation of Beijing artists."--BOOK JACKET.

Abstract

Born in Beijing in 1957, Ai Weiwei is one of the most influential artists at work today and has exhibited widely in Asia, Europe and North America. He is the first artist living and working in the Asia-Pacific region to be commissioned as part of the Unilever Series to create an artwork for the vast Turbine Hall at Tate Modern. Ai Weiwei has said "Liberty is about the right to question everything". His works in a wide range of media are characterized by social and political engagement and a constantly enquiring mind. Whether as an artist, curator, critic, designer or architect, he has played a key part in contemporary Chinese art and culture of the past two decades, not least through his collaboration with architects Herzog & de Meuron in designing the 'Bird's Nest' stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Published to accompany Ai Weiwei's first major large-scale commission in Britain, this book will provide important insights into the creative processes of one of the most exciting and dynamic contemporary artists.

Abstract

This compelling book is the result of a project intended to visually communicate the hardships endured by Iraqi communities. Utilizing art materials donated to camps by the Ruya Foundation for Contemporary Culture in Iraq, these 350 drawings were created by some of the country's 1.8 million refugees, providing a necessary outlet for their immense suffering and struggles associated with being temporarily displaced from their vocations as lawyers, teachers, farmers, and mothers. Originally presented as an exhibition at the 2015 Venice Biennale, this publication features a large group of these drawings exclusively selected by the artist and activist Ai Weiwei. Harnessing the power of visual art as a means for both personal expression and socio-political awareness, this innovative book represents the humanistic effort to provide a voice for the underrepresented and their unimaginable strife.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/traces-of-survival-9780300218206

Abstract

Ce catalogue réunit une sélection des œuvres du plus célèbre des artistes chinois de 1995 à aujourd'hui et présente des travaux récents et des interventions spécialement conçues pour les espaces du Palais de Rumine réunissant une ultime fois les institutions ayant fortement contribué à l'identité du lieux dès son origine, à savoir les musées d'archéologie et d'histoire, de zoologie et de géologie. Des œuvres en porcelaine, bois, aluminium, marbre, jade, verre, bambou et soie ainsi que des papiers peints, des photographies, de la vidéo et un film témoigneront de la richesse de cet œuvre et de la connaissance profonde que possède Ai Weiwei, fils d'un éminent poète chinois, de la tradition culturelle de son pays. Mais en même temps, l'artiste détourne ces motifs, modes de fabrication et matériaux traditionnels de manière ludique ou iconoclaste (on y décèle un esprit proche de Marcel Duchamp) pour aboutir à une critique ? tantôt cachée tantôt plus manifeste ? du système politique chinois. Des œuvres plus récentes constituent autant de commentaires au sujet de la complexité problématique de nos relations internationales (dépendances économiques, flux des réfugiés, etc.).

Abstract

Writings on human life and the refugee crisis by the most important political artist of our time Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is widely known as an artist across media: sculpture, installation, photography, performance, and architecture. He is also one of the world's most important artist-activists and a powerful documentary filmmaker. His work and art call attention to attacks on democracy and free speech, abuses of human rights, and human displacement--often on an epic, international scale.This collection of quotations demonstrates the range of Ai Weiwei's thinking on humanity and mass migration, issues that have occupied him for decades. Selected from articles, interviews, and conversations, Ai Weiwei's words speak to the profound urgency of the global refugee crisis, the resilience and vulnerability of the human condition, and the role of art in providing a voice for the voiceless.Select quotations from the book:"This problem has such a long history, a human history. We are all refugees somehow, somewhere, and at some moment." "Allowing borders to determine your thinking is incompatible with the modern era." "Art is about aesthetics, about morals, about our beliefs in humanity. Without that there is simply no art." "I don't care what all people think. My work belongs to the people who have no voice."
