A lovely cheeky image, with Mao looking on po faced in the background. And it's not even rude, nothing you don't routinely see at any swimming pool or beach. Maybe her legs were just hot...

The jars contain dust from Neolithic ceramic objects that were broken by the artist and subsequently pulverized to the finest particles. Both the rows of jars and the title of the work allude to urns with human remains while at the same time suggesting a memorial site. Ai points out that even the most preciouse earthenware objects consist of dust - just like us humans who shall one day return to dust.

The sculpture Grapes (2017), which references Ai's history of altering furniture, reassembles the stools into a completely different shape but uses the original structural logic so that it remains true to its original form. It provides a graceful and whimsical counterpoint to the accumulation of the 5,929 stools.

Ai Weiwei is one of the most significant and recognised artists working today..
This exhibition, developed in collaboration with the artist, is 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.
