Ai Weiwei + MOMA + Beastie Boys = Cosmic Bouyancy
I was lucky enough to be in NY for the one of the late Thursday events this spring. Spring night, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys spinner platters, and Art!
The most affecting thing I saw was a series of photographs take at famous locations around the world by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The series includes the White House, the Eiffel Tower, and, below, Tienanmen Square. Ai was detained by the Chinese authorities this spring and released last week. The conditions of his release are still fairly restrictive.
A good write up on the Chinese government and Ai is here.
Other great things were the design exhibit and of course getting to visit "my Duchamps."
