The AGO- Ai Wei Wei Exhibition

I've very recently visited the Art Gallery of Ontario mainly for the Ai Wei Wei Exhibition. I know there is tons of controversy about this person, but that doesn't mean his art is any less astounding. His art is so creative, so different and unique, i enjoyed the exhibition very much.









Timeline of his life (no he is not dead)

Took them apart and put them back together without the uses of any nails or screws, and turned it into one piece of amazing art work




I had no idea what these things were until i saw everyone looking through the hole in the centre...

Turns out you can see all of the moon phases, how freaking awesome is that. Mind is blown.



A piece of log from thousands of thousands of years ago, he managed to carve a map of China right in the centre. You see you see?????

CRABS

So look at this rebel, taking an urn from the era of the king's dynasty and dropping it like "mehh whatever"



So these are all urns from the kings dynasty which he dipped and dyed. "Taking something old and turning it into something new"

He took the names, age and school of 5000+ children who died during the Sichuan Earthquake





Took apart bikes and put them all back together as one. This was so cool


Part of his protest art


An urn with the coca cola sign
A snake made from 500 school bags. I guess it's a tribute of some sort to the children lost in the Sichuan Earthquake
