Description

Ai Weiwei: Making Sense is a unique exploration of the artist's fascination with the histories and skills that have been ignored or erased. Through a selection of objects from his personal collections, Ai Weiwei presents a commentary on design and its relationship to our changing values. The book features over 200 images, including ancient artifacts, modern mass-produced products, and new works created specifically for the Design Museum. Ai's practice seamlessly glides across art, architecture, design, film, collecting, and curating, making this publication a valuable insight into his diverse creative output. The book also includes essays by leading experts, covering dominant themes in Ai's work, such as craft, collecting, and the urbanization and industrialization of China. The publication concludes with an interview between renowned architect Eyal Weizman and Ai Weiwei, offering a rare glimpse into the artist's thoughts and perspectives.
