Making a book in group
Zach Gibson to Host 48-Hour Book Project at Levi's Workshop August 6-7, San Francisco, CCA news
"My plan is to document what happens when a group of artists makes content for a book that is about the content they produce. Will they work together to find a common thread? Will they work separately? Will a common thread arise even if they don't work together? How will they document their experience for reproduction? Everything about the book, from the content to the design to the production, will be decided upon during the 48 hours. I will be there the entire time, starting at 12:01 a.m. on August 6, whether the shop is open to the public or not!"

Ai Weiwei : Never Sorry
A New Documentary Film Produced by MUSE Film and Television
The film is being produced by MUSE Film and Television and is slated for release in 2011.
Beijing-based journalist and filmmaker Alison Klayman has gained unprecedented access to Ai Weiwei, documenting his often quixotic crusade. From his international gallery shows to his detailed studio practice, from scholarly interviews with peer artists and critics to intimate talks with family members, Alison offers a portrait of this transcendent cultural figure, a man whose fusion of art and activism resonates not only in his homeland of China but in the world at large.

Jos de Mul, de Tao van de Chinese (Post)Avantgarde
A nice overview of Chine Avantgarde from Dutch culture-philosopher Jos De Mul (ErasmusUniv. R'Dam) who was visiting professor in China : Chinese avantgarde
Also in this article, Ai Weiwei is not precisely a leading figure...The author speaks about 80 groups of artists from the mid of 1980 and describes the famous exhibition some months before 1989 Tianmen debacle...

Selected images China-voyage
Panda's, tigers and dragons: Ai Weiwei does have a link with these...; go with the flow (forever bikes ? - not long any more ?); change and patterns, visual and not visual traditions, governement planning and/or speculation in Beijing, red everywhere, tai ji or more karaokelike groupmovements,
perspective and smog, the blur between red and green lights: never really stop is the device; unifying principles, a lot about fake but china invented everything (also the 'pluimbal' I never saw before and is the most stunning game...), and what is not visible : Ai Weiwei's paradoxical status in China (appreciation), about the atmosphere and the story of Caochangdi (where Weiwei and Frank Uyterhaeghen started what now turns to be much more hot (in termes of serious art and money) than the 798-district and might be 'passé' very soon. About the popularity of the dog...(and this time not in a dish)

Sjouwers voor de Oorlog
Vanaf 1917 werden zowat 140 000 Chinese arbeiders naar de Eerste Wereldoorlog in Europa gehaald. De Chinezen verrichtten er hard labeur achter het front. Dat eindigde niet met de Wapenstilstand: tot begin 1920 werden de koelies ingezet om puin en munitie te ruimen en om doden te begraven. De tentoonstelling brengt dit vergeten, maar boeiende hoofdstuk terug met film, foto's en tal van objecten.| Waar | In Flanders Fields Museum, Lakenhallen, Grote Markt, 8900 Ieper |

Ai weiwei cited on a webpage of China Archive and Warehouse (Frank Uyterhaeghen, Beijing)
"Ai Weiwei takes a keen interest in altering and subverting the original function and significance of representative and symbolic elements in Chinese culture. His reconstructed Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture has no more practical function but still maintains its succinct and elegant proportions. His Han Dynasty urns covered in white industrial lacquer or painted with Coca-Cola logo probably can't be valued as antique any more but they clearly demonstrate the fundamental nature of daily utilities. Lining up of feet and hands of Buddhist sculptures in a grid showcases the variety of postures and styles and lends these fragments another form of unity. His body of work is diverse and versatile, all containing contradictions, absurdity and substantial discrepancy in time and space. His application of "readymade" is a tribute to Duchamp but the value and significance of his chosen medium (antique) lends his subversive gesture exceptional weight. Is he an antique connoisseur, a minimalist architect, a conceptualist or a post-modernist artist? Accidentally or not, in Nangao where Ai Weiwei resides in Beijing, Guang Han Tang - a thriving antique furniture business, and China Art Archives and Warehouse - a space for avant-garde art, are just a few steps apart from each other."
