展览地址和时间：Victoria and Albert Museum, Ceramics Gallery from October 15
until March 18.
In his new exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, notorious trickster-a
ctivist Ai Weiwei playfully approaches serious subject matter.
The show will feature Weiwei's works from the early 1990s to the present, ma
ny of which address globalization's toll on China's history and culture. The
show will feature 'ready-made' Neolithic vessels from 5000 BC revamped in n
eon paint and corporate logos. According to the gallery, these will be "show
n alongside a short film of Ai Weiwei producing the ‘ready-mades’ and a ph
otographic triptych after which the display is named, showing Ai dropping an
urn dating from the Han dynasty."
While fun and accessible, Weiwei's pieces are driven by a brave voice of pro
test and an investigative eye turned toward the meaning of value and where w
e place it. Weighty matters such as modernization and the global economy are
thrown off their untouchable pedestal with Weiwei's playful aesthetic and m
ischevious style. As a major dissenting voice for modern China, Weiwei craft
s pieces that are more than just fun to look at, but fun to look at neverthe
less. |
