Ai Weiwei est l'un des artistes contemporains chinois les plus engagés politiquement et les plus controversés de sa génération. Agitateur de conscience, il utilise l'art comme vecteur de promotion de la liberté d'expression du peuple chinois. Au moyen d'oeuvres, de performances et de citations, Ai Weiwei tente de briser la psychologie de la peur instaurée par son gouvernement. La suprématie du système communiste chinois a ainsi donné naissance, malgré lui, à l'un des artistes les plus critiques envers Pékin. Ai Weiwei est un artiste qui s'exprime au nom de tous, au nom de valeurs universelles et humaines dans une société contemporaine nécrosée par l'autocensure. Weiwei-ismes expose la vision de cet artiste hors du commun qui, à travers de fulgurants aphorismes, nous fait prendre conscience de la valeur des mots et des idées. Aussi artistique que politique, Weiwei-ismes est un manifeste de défense des valeurs démocratiques autant qu'un outil de changement des consciences dans une société gouvernée par le pouvoir plutôt que par les hommes.

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 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. Ai Weiwei is one of China's most influential and inspiring figures. Artist, architect, curator, and activist, he has been an outspoken critic of the Chinese government's stance on human rights and democracy.

The gripping story of post-Mao China and the harrowing fate of the artist and activist Ai Weiwei In October 2010, Ai Weiwei's Sunflower Seeds appeared in the Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern. In April 2011, he was arrested and held for more than two months in terrible conditions. The most famous living Chinese artist and activist, Weiwei is a figure of extraordinary talent, courage, and integrity. From the beginning of his career, he has spoken out against the world's most powerful totalitarian regime, in part by creating some of the most beautiful and mysterious artworks of our age, works which have touched millions around the world. Just after Ai Weiwei's release from illegal detention, Barnaby Martin flew to Beijing to interview him about his imprisonment and to learn more about what is really going on behind the scenes in the upper echelons of the Chinese Communist Party. Based on these interviews and Martin's own intimate connections with China, Hanging Man is an exploration of Weiwei's life, art, and activism and also a meditation on the creative process, and on the history of art in modern China. It is a rich picture of the man and his milieu, of what he is trying to communicate with his art, and of the growing campaign for democracy and accountability in China. It is a book about courage and hope found in the absence of freedom and justice.

A FAMILY STORY AND THE TALE OF A NATION. Ai Weiwei - one of the world's most famous artists and activists - weaves a century-long epic tale of China through the story of his own life and that of his father, Ai Qing, the nation's most celebrated poet. 'Engrossing...a remarkable story' Sunday Times Here, through the sweeping lens of his own and his father's life, Ai Weiwei tells an epic tale of China over the last 100 years, from the Cultural Revolution to the modern-day Chinese Communist Party. Here is the story of a childhood spent in desolate exile after his father, Ai Qing, once China's most celebrated poet, fell foul of the authorities. Here is his move to America as a young man and his return to China, his rise from unknown to art-world superstar and international rights activist. Here is his extraordinary account of how his work has been shaped by living under a totalitarian regime. It's the story of a father and a son, of exceptional creativity and passionate belief, and of how two indomitable spirits enabled the world to understand their country. 'A story of inherited resilience and self-determination' Observer 'A majestic and exquisitely serious masterpiece about his China... One of the great voices of our time' Andrew Solomon 'Intimate, unflinching...an instant classic' Evan Osnos, author of Age of Ambition

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."

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Art - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: This essay argues that Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is using his art to fight for violated human rights. Ai Weiwei is a world renowned Chinese artist, photographer, cultural and political critic who is ambitious and has the utmost self assurance of things working out. He was born in 1957 in Beijing, China. Weiwei comes from a family of artists who express the Chinese autocracy by means of art. The father Ai Qing was a Chinese poet and his wife, Lu Qing an artist too. Weiwei’s father was an active and very influential political and cultural activist during the mid nineteen fifties who ended up being imprisoned during the 1958 Anti-Rights Movement (Weiwei and Ambrozy, xxv). In New York, Weiwei undertook working odd jobs as a way of studying art and lived in the east village. Here he learnt more about political activism due to the frequent protests about the squatter and housing rights (Weiwei and Ambrozy, xix).

Ai Weiwei is one of the world’s most acclaimed artists and dissidents. This book presents him in conversation with theorists, critics, journalists, and curators about key moments in his life and career. These wide-ranging conversations flow between topics such as his relationship with China, the meaning of citizenship, moving his studio to Lesbos to be on the front lines of the migrant crisis, how to make art, and technology as a tool for freedom or oppression. Ai opens up about his relationship to his father as a poet and as a dissident forced into hard labor in a small village after the Cultural Revolution. He shares his thoughts on formal education and the importance of finding your own way as an artist. New York—both the city and its people—were formative for Ai Weiwei, and he speaks eloquently about how these experiences continue to influence him. Ai conjures up scenes from his long relationship with the city: dropping out of Parsons School of Design because he couldn’t afford tuition, making portraits in Washington Square Park as an undocumented immigrant in the 1980s, taking photos for the New York Times at demonstrations in Tompkins Square Park, and returning to set up the Good Fences Make Good Neighbors project across the city. These candid, spontaneous conversations reveal why Ai Weiwei has become such a major force in contemporary art and political life.

In 2007, Ai Weiwei, the well-known Chinese artist, architect, curator, and filmmaker, presented "Fairytale" at documenta 12 in Kassel: he invited 1,001 Chinese citizens of different ages and from various backgrounds to Germany to experience Europe's most innovative five-yearly art event and live their own fairytale for 28 days.Although widely discussed in the press, the project hardly fond commentaries worthy of it in terms of scope and interest. Thus, the publication intends to bring forth and reflect upon it by publishing an extensive documentation, which, in this particular case, is an integral part of the project, as well as by soliciting critical commentaries a posteriori, and from a diverse range of viewpoints.The book includes texts commissioned from several authors – Daniel Birnbaum, Director of Moderna Museet, Stockholm; Roger M. Buergel, Artistic Director of documenta 12; Raphael Gygax, Curator at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich; Christian Höller, Editor of Springerin magazine, Vienna; and Catherine Wood, Curator of Contemporary Art/Performance at Tate Modern, London-an interview realized at the opening of documenta by Fu Xiao-Dong, as well as documents, photographs, and questionnaires produced over the course of the project.In the end this book highlights the conditions of production of a work which notably called into question the foundations of participation in documenta as a 'global' manifestation of contemporary art, and of which the ideological, curatorial, and artistic parameters become more and more problematic with each new edition.Published with Galerie Urs Meile, Beijing/Lucerne.
