Couverture / Jaquette

Ai Weiwei is best known as an artist, activist and public figure. But he is almost unique in the way he glides across disciplinary boundaries: into architecture, design, collecting and curating. In Spring 2023, a retrospective on Ai Weiwei will open at the Design Museum. This is the first exhibition to examine Ai’s relationship to design, architecture and the city. To accompany this exhibition, a catalogue of the same title will explore Ai’s practice as artist, architect, designer and collector. The book will be divided into four chapters that define some of the major preoccupations of Ai’s work.
