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.

Ai Weiwei - Making Sense
At the Design Museum designmuseum.org/exhibitions/ai-weiwei-making-sense#
"This major exhibition, developed in collaboration with the artist, will be the first to present his work as a commentary on design and what it reveals about our changing values. Through his engagement with material culture, Ai explores the tension between past and present, hand and machine, precious and worthless, construction and destruction.
The exhibition draws on Ai's fascination with historical Chinese artefacts, placing their traditional craftsmanship in dialogue with the more recent history of demolition and urban development in China. The result is a meditation on value – on histories and skills that have been ignored or erased."

This new series of Zodiac works is composed from thousands of plastic LEGO bricks. The set of twelve works incorporates imagery from two well-known series by the artist. The twelve LEGO Zodiac animal heads deriving from his sculpture series Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads (2010) are overlaid onto twelve landscapes and monuments from Ai’s Study of Perspective (1995–2003) series of photographs. Ai has been employing LEGO bricks as an artistic medium since 2007. He appreciates how LEGO is accessible to everyone, especially young people. His use of LEGO components is a response to the pixelated structure of digital images.
