The Plain Version of the Animal That looks Like a Llama but Is Really an Alpaca
2017
Ai Weiwei, Berlin
This wallpaper is composed of a clever combination of images merging the Twitter logo, surveillance cameras, shackles, and handcuffs, as though seen through a kaleidoscope. Here the artist is referring to his freedom of speech on social networks, but above all to his detention by the Chinese authorities.
*I really like this wallpaper*

Ai Weiwei’s installation “Safe Passage,” at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The installation covers the 4 columns at the front of the building with life vests worn by Syrian refugees who journeyed from Turkey to the Aegean islands.
One of the main sections of the exhibition are numerous portraits of past and current political prisoners, done in LEGOs. Snowden and Manning are here, as well as many people held at Guantanamo and by many other countries around the world. Weiwei, showing some humility, did not include an image of himself, even though his passport was seized by the Chinese a few years ago, so he is not allowed to travel outside of his country.

Stools (2013), comprising 5,929 wooden stools from the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties and the Republican period, gathered from villages across northern China. The accumulation of individual stools forms a 72-foot square, creating an enormous variegated surface. Very few of these stools remain in Chinese households today, but they were once a ubiquitous staple of domestic life. Each stool reveals traces of use and evokes the experience of generations of lives. Ai Weiwei admires the stools for their simple design and solid structure, a design language that remained unchanged for thousands of years.
