One month ago today, the Chinese government detained its best-known contemporary artist and activist, Ai Weiwei. This is the price for boldly undertaking the challenge of exposing government corruption in China and broadcasting it to the world through social media and his art. For the past 30 days, governments, art institutions, and citizens around the world have been rallying for his release.His latest work is an outdoor sculpture series, Zodiac Heads, that features the twelve animal heads of the traditional Chinese zodiac. It will debut tomorrow at the Pulitzer Fountain at Grand Army Plaza and will be on view until July 15.
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry is the upcoming documentary on Ai Weiwei scheduled for release later this year.
