Ai Weiwei - Everything is Art, Everything is Politics

Everything is Art, Everything is Politics, by Frank Woodgate. Ai Weiwei is a contemporary Chinese artist and activist known for using sculpture, installation, and public art to address human rights, politics, and power. In Ai Weiwei’s work, there is no division between art and politics. Through sculpture, film, installation, photography and architecture – he has campaigned for human rights with works dealing with oppression, commemoration and Chinese identity and social history, as poignant as they are provocative.
