AI WEIWEI READING ROOM
Magasin3.com/AiWeiwei combines Ai Weiwei’s artistry and activism, presenting curated artworks, articles, interviews, videos and digital projects. The platform is used both online and in the exhibition as part of the physical reading room giving a digital overview of the artworks exhibited at Magasin 3. It will also be a link to a series of related events at other locations in Stockholm during the spring and to Ai Weiweis global influence as a online activist.
Here, visitors can learn more about the exhibition, plan their visit, participate in existing digital activism, follow Ai Weiwei’s Twitter feed and see live-streamed events discussing everything from his artistry and the current situation for contemporary art in China, to freedom of speech and the power of microblogs.
The ambition is to introduce the many sides of Ai Weiwei and make his voice heard in Stockholm between February 3 and June 10, 2012.
