'If artists betray the social conscience and the basic principles of being human, where does art stand then?' Ai Weiwei - artist, architect, curator, publisher, poet and urbanist - extended the notion of art and is one of the world's most significant creative and cultural figures. In this series of interviews, conducted over several years with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, he discusses the many dimensions of his artistic life, ranging over subjects including ceramics, blogging, nature, philosophy and the myriad influences that have fed into his work. He also talks candidly about his father, his childhood spent in exile and his criticism of the Chinese state. Together, these extraordinary discussions give a unique insight into the outstanding complexity of Ai Weiwei's thought and work, and are an essential reminder of the need for personal, political and artistic freedom.

Excellent livre pour entrer dans l'oeuvre d'Ai WeiWei et comprendre le sens de son travail. On y découvre un artiste travaillant fortement le lien entre tradition et réflexion contemporaine sur la Chine, mais aussi sur la difficulté d'exercer et l'impact toujours puissant de l'art sur le monde.

The book is a very easy read- can be read in many moods. It is inspiring, historical and leaves you with a greater curiosity and more questions than you began with.
I read it twice over a weekend and I will possibly carry it with me on travels to read parts again.
Every reading I feel unveils something that I missed before.
