"In Search of Humanity" presents a comprehensive overview of all phases of the artist's oeuvre and includes a number of hitherto unpublished works. The book design in the form of a block of marble makes this an unusual volume. The catalogue examines in detail the aspect of humanity and artistic responsibility in the oeuvre of Ai Weiwei. It sheds light on concepts such as surveillance, censorship, human rights, freedom of expression, human displacement, radical responsibility, the power of beauty and the truth of poetry. Numerous quotations by the artist and a timeline which positions the individual works visually within the context of the historical events that prompted them, explore the works in a plausible manner. 546 $a Text in English. 585 $a "Ai Weiwei: In Search of Humanity" : March 16-September 4, 2022, Albertina modern, Vienna, Austria. 600 10 $a Ai, Weiwei $v Exhibitions. 600 10 $a Ai, Weiwei $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 10 $a Ai, Weiwei $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Art, Chinese $y 21st century $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Conceptual art $z China $y 21st century $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 650 0 $a Political art $z China $y 21st century $y 21st century $v Exhibitions. 700 1 $a Ai, Weiwei, $e artist. 700 12 $a Ai, Weiwei. $t Works. $k Selections. 700 1 $a Buchhart, Dieter, $d 1971- $e author. $e author. 700 1 $a Lahner, Elsy, $e writer of added commentary. $e curator, $e author, $e writer of added commentary. 700 1 $a SchroÌder, Klaus Albrecht, $e writer of foreword. $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Tancock, John L., $e author. 700 1 $a Buergel, Roger M., $e author. 700 1 $a Lumbroso, Melissa, $e author. 710 2 $a Graphische Sammlung Albertina, $e host institution. 710 2 $a Hirmer Verlag, $e publisher. 752 $a Germany $d Munich. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230302020445.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=89B307BC72D911EDA0B05B7C49ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
