Event details

Interlacing is the first major exhibition of photographs and videos by Ai Weiwei. Having already used photography in his New York years, but especially since his return to Beijing, he has incessantly documented the everyday urban and social realities in China, discussing them through means of blogs and Twitter. Photographs of radical urban transformation, of the search for earthquake victims, and the destruction of his Shanghai studio are presented together with his art photography projects, the project Fairytale, the countless blog and cell phone photographs. He is a sensitive observer of current topics and social problems: a great communicator and networker who brings life into art and art into life.
