Ai Weiwei: Making Sense

 

LEFT RIGHT STUDIO MATERIAL, 2018

 

Porcelain

 

These fragments are the remains of Ai's porcelain sculptures that were destroyed when his 'Left Right' studio in Beijing was demolished by the Chinese state in 2018.

 

You can see one of the complete sculptures, Bubble, nearby. The remains are a form of evidence of the repression that Ai has suffered at the hands of the Chinese government, as well as a testament to his ability to turn destruction into art.
