Art & Quotidian - Ai Weiwei

Because i didn't blog for the Quotidian week, i am catching up. (sorry if this confuses the order for anyone).

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei explores Chinese cultural and historical issues in most of his works. In "Forever Bicycles" Weiwei celebrates the bicycle itself as being much a part of Beijing's streets and background. They are soldered together so that they go around in circles with no end. His piece evokes a complex image of a structured space by assembling real – utilitarian – bicycles. Their intricate connections produce an interplay of form, changing as the viewer takes different positions.
