Finally made time to photograph Ai Weiwei's 'Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads: Bronze' installed along the Rose Kennedy Greenway before it leaves at the end of the month. Just amazing. Boston is very fortunate to be able to exhibit such works. Thanks to everyone in the city who made this possible.

 

Based upon from traditional Chinese zodiac sculptures of Yuanming Yuan's fountain-clock which were pillaged in 1860 by French and British troops.

A closer look at the medium Ai selected for Oil Spills reveals a deeper environmental concern. At first, using porcelain to imitate crude oil appears humorous, as porcelain’s smooth surface and delicate nature contrast markedly with the sticky, heavy appearance of crude oil. But in fact, the process of manufacturing porcelain—sculpting with gaolin clay, gazing and coloring, firing in a kiln, and putting on the finishing touch—is as harmful to the environment as crude oil. A special type of ceramics, porcelain can cause air pollution and is hazardous to human lungs. Ai created Oil Spills in Jingdezheng, China’s finest imperial porcelain manufacturing center since the Ming dynasty. While Jingdezheng is renowned for its exquisite porcelain art, its environmental problems remained unnoticed until Ai brought them into galleries and museums.
