Description: Humanity by Ai Weiwei, Larry Warsh Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Writings on human life and the refugee crisis by the most important political artist of our time Publisher Description Writings on human life and the refugee crisis by the most important political artist of our time Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is widely known as an artist across media: sculpture, installation, photography, performance, and architecture. He is also one of the worlds most important artist-activists and a powerful documentary filmmaker. His work and art call attention to attacks on democracy and free speech, abuses of human rights, and human displacement - often on an epic, international scale. This collection of quotations demonstrates the range of Ai Weiweis thinking on humanity and mass migration, issues that have occupied him for decades. Selected from articles, interviews, and conversations, Ai Weiweis words speak to the profound urgency of the global refugee crisis, the resilience and vulnerability of the human condition, and the role of art in providing a voice for the voiceless. Select quotations from the book: This problem has such a long history, a human history. We are all refugees somehow, somewhere, and at some moment. Allowing borders to determine your thinking is incompatible with the modern era. Art is about aesthetics, about morals, about our beliefs in humanity. Without that there is simply no art. I dont care what all people think. My work belongs to the people who have no voice.The prominent Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei has long used his fame and social media as a megaphone for his activism. It was because of his blogging and Twitter activity criticising the government that he was detained by the Chinese police for nearly three months and had his passport taken away in 2011. And his Instagram posts of the last few years have brought increasing international attention to the refugee crisis, as has his documentary Human Flow, released last fall. But now Mr. Ai has returned to a more traditional form of expression: Humanity, a little blue book...that collects excerpts from Mr. Ais thoughts and aphorisms. - Robin Pogrebin, New York Times Author Biography Ai Weiwei is one of the worlds most influential and inspiring figures.
