“Ai Weiwei has remarkable sensibility and strength in his visual expression, which is effective in conveying a rather complex and significant content. When I met Ai Weiwei in his studio he had just been held under house arrest for a few days. He was calm but keenly aware that he was already in a very uncertain and tenuous situation. After the events of the past year I think that it is ever more important for elements of his political work to be present in the exhibition.”
/Tessa Praun, curator at Magasin 3, met Ai Weiwei in fall 2010 at his Beijing studio to begin work on the exhibition.

“Both Andrea and Magasin 3 are thrilled that the exhibition will travel and be able to reach another public. BALTIC is an exciting institution for contemporary art with extensive programs and the exhibition will be open throughout spring 2012,” Richard Julin, Chief Curator at Magasin 3 and curator of the exhibition.
