Description
Dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (b.1956) is best known for his installation art, conceptual works and political activism. He is one of the most influential figures in contemporary art today. Often critical of China’s oppressive regime, Weiwei has been arrested, detained, beaten, had his studio demolished and yet, continues to make art critical of his birthplace, China. This year Ai Weiwei’s large installation, Commedia Humana (Human Comedy) is being exhibited in Rome’s ancient Baths of Diocletian. Join Professor Germano as he presents the art of Ai Weiwei in this visual lecture.
