Ai Weiwei est l'un des artistes contemporains chinois les plus engagés politiquement et les plus controversés de sa génération. Agitateur de conscience, il utilise l'art comme vecteur de promotion de la liberté d'expression du peuple chinois. Au moyen d'oeuvres, de performances et de citations, Ai Weiwei tente de briser la psychologie de la peur instaurée par son gouvernement. La suprématie du système communiste chinois a ainsi donné naissance, malgré lui, à l'un des artistes les plus critiques envers Pékin. Ai Weiwei est un artiste qui s'exprime au nom de tous, au nom de valeurs universelles et humaines dans une société contemporaine nécrosée par l'autocensure. Weiwei-ismes expose la vision de cet artiste hors du commun qui, à travers de fulgurants aphorismes, nous fait prendre conscience de la valeur des mots et des idées. Aussi artistique que politique, Weiwei-ismes est un manifeste de défense des valeurs démocratiques autant qu'un outil de changement des consciences dans une société gouvernée par le pouvoir plutôt que par les hommes.

The quotable Ai Weiwei This collection of quotes demonstrates the elegant simplicity of Ai Weiwei's thoughts on key aspects of his art, politics, and life. A master at communicating powerful ideas in astonishingly few words, Ai Weiwei is known for his innovative use of social media to disseminate his views. The short quotations presented here have been carefully selected from articles, tweets, and interviews given by this acclaimed Chinese artist and activist. The book is organized into six categories: freedom of expression; art and activism; government, power, and moral choices; the digital world; history, the historical moment, and the future; and personal reflections. Together, these quotes span some of the most revealing moments of Ai Weiwei's eventful career—from his risky investigation into student deaths in the 2008 Sichuan earthquake to his arbitrary arrest in 2011—providing a window into the mind of one of the world's most electrifying and courageous contemporary artists. Select Quotes from the Book: On Freedom of Expression "Say what you need to say plainly, and then take responsibility for it." "A small act is worth a million thoughts." "Liberty is about our rights to question everything." On Art and Activism "Everything is art. Everything is politics." "The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay." "Life is art. Art is life. I never separate it. I don't feel that much anger. I equally have a lot of joy." On Government, Power, and Making Moral Choice "Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart and no one can take it. Then, you can be more powerful than a whole country." "I feel powerless all the time, but I regain my energy by making a very small difference that won't cost me much." "Tips on surviving the regime: Respect yourself and speak for others. Do one small thing every day to prove the existence of justice." On the Digital World "Only with the Internet can a peasant I have never met hear my voice and I can learn what's on his mind. A fairy tale has come true." "The Internet is uncontrollable. And if the Internet is uncontrollable, freedom will win. It's as simple as that." "The Internet is the best thing that could have happened to China." On History, the Historical Moment, and the Future "If a nation cannot face its past, it has no future." "We need to get out of the old language." "The world is a sphere, there is no East or West." Personal Reflection "I've never planned any part of my career—except being an artist. And I was pushed into that corner because I thought being an artist was the only way to have a little freedom." "Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom." "Expressing oneself is like a drug. I'm so addicted to it."

The “intimate and expansive” (Time) memoir of “one of the most important artists working in the world today” (Financial Times), telling a remarkable history of China over the last hundred years while also illuminating his artistic process “Poignant . . . An illuminating through-line emerges in the many parallels Ai traces between his life and his father’s.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Time, BookPage, Booklist, Kirkus Reviews Once a close associate of Mao Zedong and the nation’s most celebrated poet, Ai Weiwei’s father, Ai Qing, was branded a rightist during the Cultural Revolution, and he and his family were banished to a desolate place known as “Little Siberia,” where Ai Qing was sentenced to hard labor cleaning public toilets. Ai Weiwei recounts his childhood in exile, and his difficult decision to leave his family to study art in America, where he befriended Allen Ginsberg and was inspired by Andy Warhol and the artworks of Marcel Duchamp. With candor and wit, he details his return to China and his rise from artistic unknown to art world superstar and international human rights activist—and how his work has been shaped by living under a totalitarian regime. Ai Weiwei’s sculptures and installations have been viewed by millions around the globe, and his architectural achievements include helping to design the iconic Bird’s Nest Olympic Stadium in Beijing. His political activism has long made him a target of the Chinese authorities, which culminated in months of secret detention without charge in 2011. Here, for the first time, Ai Weiwei explores the origins of his exceptional creativity and passionate political beliefs through his life story and that of his father, whose creativity was stifled. At once ambitious and intimate, Ai Weiwei’s 1000 Years of Joys and Sorrows offers a deep understanding of the myriad forces that have shaped modern China, and serves as a timely reminder of the urgent need to protect freedom of expression.

The gripping story of post-Mao China and the harrowing fate of the artist and activist Ai Weiwei In October 2010, Ai Weiwei's Sunflower Seeds appeared in the Turbine Hall in the Tate Modern. In April 2011, he was arrested and held for more than two months in terrible conditions. The most famous living Chinese artist and activist, Weiwei is a figure of extraordinary talent, courage, and integrity. From the beginning of his career, he has spoken out against the world's most powerful totalitarian regime, in part by creating some of the most beautiful and mysterious artworks of our age, works which have touched millions around the world. Just after Ai Weiwei's release from illegal detention, Barnaby Martin flew to Beijing to interview him about his imprisonment and to learn more about what is really going on behind the scenes in the upper echelons of the Chinese Communist Party. Based on these interviews and Martin's own intimate connections with China, Hanging Man is an exploration of Weiwei's life, art, and activism and also a meditation on the creative process, and on the history of art in modern China. It is a rich picture of the man and his milieu, of what he is trying to communicate with his art, and of the growing campaign for democracy and accountability in China. It is a book about courage and hope found in the absence of freedom and justice.

Marcat per les experiències personals més doloroses de l'exili, Ai Weiwei sempre s'ha sentit un estranger, i és a partir de la seva experiència artística que aconsegueix donar a aquest estat singular una dimensió universal. «Les persones sempre han fugit, des dels primers compassos de la humanitat. És un procés pràcticament tan natural com el moviment de l'aigua, el vent o la gespa». A Manifest sense fronteres ens ajuda a entendre que l'exili és sobretot un problema de ser, no un problema de tenir, tot i la indefensió de les persones que han hagut d'abandonar casa seva. I ens il·lumina transmetent-nos el seu compromís amb la humanitat i l'arrel de les motivacions de la seva esplendorosa creativitat. Ai Weiwei és l'artista xinès més destacat de l'art contemporani, i és conegut per centrar les seves creacions en temes polítics i socials, i per la defensa dels drets humans i la llibertat d'expressió.

In his widely anticipated memoir, Ai Weiwei--one of the world's most famous artists and activists--tells a century-long epic tale of China through the story of his own extraordinary life and the legacy of his father, Ai Qing, the nation's most celebrated poet. Hailed as the most important artist working today by the Financial Times and as an eloquent and unsilenceable voice of freedom by The New York Times, Ai Weiwei has written a sweeping memoir that presents a remarkable history of China over the last 100 years while illuminating his artistic process. Once an intimate of Mao Zedong, Ai Weiwei's father was branded a rightist during the Cultural Revolution, and he and his family were banished to a desolate place known as Little Siberia, where Ai Qing was sentenced to hard labor cleaning public toilets.

Die hier gezeigten "Bilder einer menschlichen Katastrophe" des chinesischen Künstlers Ai Weiwei sind unter anderem entstanden im Flüchtlingsnotlager Idomeni an der griechisch-mazedonischen Grenze. Sie zeigen auch eine riesige Sammlung von Alltagsdingen, zurückgelassen von den im Lager festsitzenden Menschen nach dessen Evakuierung im Jahr 2016. Es sind dokumentierende Bilder, die das Wort Katastrophe in all seinen Facetten und Bezügen illustrieren. Jedes weitere Wort dazu erübrigt sich.
