Ai Weiwei in Conversation will explore the artist’s creative approach as well as the parallels between Weiwei’s work and the art of Andy Warhol. Delving into ideas of shared motifs in their work, Weiwei will offer his thoughts on their engagement with the ready-made, documentation of contemporary life and most notably, their relationship between politics and celebrity.
Andy Wahol | Ai Weiwei is a word-first exhibition, exploring the mutual interests of both artists through showcasing sculpture, photography, screen-prints, painting and multi-media. Presenting more than 300 works, the exhibition will also see new commissions from Weiwei, including several major installations.
