Description
The official catalogue for our exhibition Ai Weiwei: Making Sense.
The first book to dive exclusively into Weiwei’s approach to design and collecting, shedding light on the value we ascribe to everyday objects.
It brings Ai’s vast collections together from Neolithic stone tools to modern, mass-produced objects, creating a dialogue and tension between traditional craftsmanship and modern-day manufacturing.
Features interviews, essays, and in-depth analysis of the multi-disciplinary artist and visionary.
Contributors include Tim Marlow, Brian Dillon, Rachel Hajek, Julia Lovell, Justin McGuirk, Wang Shu and Eyal Weizman.
Edited by Justin McGuirk, Design Museum Chief Curator
