Ai Weiwei Tree, Downing College, Cambridge, 1 Sep 2022
In summer 2016 Downing College staged an exhibition of Ai Weiwei’s “Trees”.
Now they have their own permanent tree.
In 2021 an historic cedar tree in the grounds of Downing College was felled because it was diseased.
Ai Weiwei made a “tree” from the branches and gifted it to the college.
Funding for the work was provided by the College’s Howard Foundation.
Artist Ai Weiwei's Gilded Cage installed in Doris C. Freedman Plaza, Central Park. Part of the "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors" series.

Ai Weiwei Trees, Downing College, Cambridge, 18 Jul 2016
I don't understand the meaning behind Ai Weiwei's 'Trees' sculpture, but it looks superb in a strong light.

"Forever Bicycles" by Ai Weiwei, Kunsthal, Rotterdam
[Explore]
Forever Bicycles alludes to the Forever brand of bicycles that flooded China streets during the artist’s childhood yet remained financially out of reach, for many. With the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and The Forks as the backdrops, the dizzying structure of steel and light and shadow becomes an infinite puzzle
There are 1254 bicycles in the structure
Artist: Ai Weiwei

ai weiwei made headlines back in 2008 for his quest in recovering the truth about the number of student casualties that were a result of the sichuan earthquake that hit china–his citizen’s investigation was aimed at collecting the names of all the victims of the natural disaster, uncovering the truth about the chinese government’s corruption in trying to hide the actual facts. since then he has undergone much scrutiny by chinese authorities for his activism and was incarcerated for 81-days back in 2011 for his involvement.
Seven years after the tragic event which took the lives of more than five thousand school children, ai weiwei presents his sculptural installation ‘straight’ at the 2015 Royal Academy exhibition the work is composed of 150 tons of steel rebar which the artist recovered from the sites of the collapsed schools in sichuan following the quake. varying in diameter, ai weiwei has had all of the retrieved metal parts straightened as if new, and has arranged them in stacks, creating an eery landscape which immediately brings forth a feeling of somberness in memory of those whose lives were lost; the action of adjusting the pieces in a way metaphorically speaking of the artist trying to make things right.
Woman at the Ai Weiwei exhibition at the RA. I didn't notice at the time but she's wearing one bracelet that says '24-70mm' and another that says '50mm'. Odd.
My take on Ai WeiWei's "Gilded Cage" which is (was) part of the major pan-NYC exhibit "Fences Make Good Neighbors" which will remain (was) on display until February 11, 2018. Too bad it is (was) not extended or made permanent!!! Would love to (have) catch (caught) a few more parts on my next visit to NYC...

At the Yorkshire Sculpture Park near Wakefield this metal tree, by Chinese artist Ai Wei Wei, sits beside an old chapel looking pretty damned cool.
