Synopsis
The first book to dive exclusively into Ai Weiwei's approach to design and collecting, shedding light on the value we ascribe to everyday objects. Artist, film-maker, architect, activist, collector - whatever mode Ai Weiwei is in, he is trying to tell us something about the state of the world. This book presents Ai's work as a commentary on design and what it reveals about our changing values. Confronted by the rapid pace of change in his country, Ai became fascinated by Chinese antiquities. His vast collections of historical artefacts, from Stone Age tools to broken teapot spouts, attest to the way the language of objects speaks across the ages. Is this a classic tale of technical progress, or have we lost crucial qualities with the march of time? Ai invites us to make sense of these objects as he explores the tensions between past and present, hand and machine, precious and worthless, construction and destruction., Ai Weiwei's archaeological exploration of the histories and skills that have been ignored or erased, through objects from his personal collections Known around the world for his powerful art and activism, Ai Weiwei (born 1957) does not differentiate between disciplines: his practice glides across art, architecture, design, film, collecting and curating. Richly illustrated with over 200 images, Ai Weiwei: Making Sense is the first major publication to present Ai's work as a commentary on design and what it reveals about our changing values. It presents a selection of Ai's collected objects, from ancient stone axe heads to porcelain teapot spouts, from Neolithic tools to modern mass-produced products, as well as new works created specifically for the Design Museum. These collections draw from the artist's fascination with historical Chinese artifacts, placing their craftsmanship in dialogue with China's more recent history of demolition and urban development. Also featured are essays by leading experts covering dominant themes in Ai's work, such as craft, collecting and the urbanization and industrialization of China. It concludes with an interview between renowned British Israeli architect Eyal Weizman and Ai himself., Ai Weiwei s archaeological exploration of the histories and skills that have been ignored or erased, through objects from his personal collections Known around the world for his powerful art and activism, Ai Weiwei (born 1957) does not differentiate between disciplines: his practice glides across art, architecture, design, film, collecting and curating.

- a***1 (1119)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufNot "new" condition as advertised, Box was in rough condition and multiple loose pieces were in the shipping box. Won't know if there are missing pieces til the 2 open bag puzzles are put together.
- 3***e (501)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufWrong item was sent to me which the seller agreed to swap out if I returned it but unfortunately ended up refunding me instead after returning the item which I would have kept for a slightly discounted price. Either way, seller refunded me the full amount.
