Description

Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei turns his attention to Alcatraz—a place he has never set foot, but that stands as a world-famous symbol of both incarceration and protest. This book offers an inside look at the site-specific body of work Weiwei has created for a major art exhibition on the island, happening from September 27, 2014–April 26, 2015. Consisting of multimedia installations, sculptures, sound works, and more, the work from the exhibition is presented here in photographs, essays, and interviews with curators, human rights activists, and the artist himself. An in-depth look of this tremendously exciting show and the important questions of creativity and expression it raises, At Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz is an essential document from one of the most groundbreaking artists working today.

Author Biography:

Ai Weiwei is a Beijing-based artist and activist whose work encompasses sculpture, installation, photography, film, architecture, curation, and social criticism. His art has been featured in major solo exhibitions including the retrospective Ai Weiwei: According to What?; and exhibitions at the Pulitzer Fountain, New York, 2011; and at Tate Modern, London, 2010. He collaborated with architects Herzog & de Meuron on the design for the 2012 Serpentine Pavilion in London and on the 'bird’s nest' stadium for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Among numerous awards and honors, he received the VAclav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent from the Human Rights Foundation in 2012.
