Ai Weiwei: The Liberty of Doubt | Author: Andrew Nairne
$49.99
Kettle's Yard, Cambridge, exhibition catalogue on the internationally renowned Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (b. 1957, Beijing) in which new and existing work will be shown alongside historic Chinese objects. The exhibition explores notions of truth, authenticity and value, as well as globalisation, the coronavirus pandemic and the current geopolitical crisis.
Ai Weiwei reflects upon the liberty in the West, in contrast to China and other authoritarian regimes, to question truth and authority, express doubt and seek transparency in political matters. However, in relation to art appreciation, the Chinese have a long tradition of a more fluid and less fixed view in relation to authenticity than is the case in the West, often valuing the act of copying.
