Ai Weiwei: The Conscience of An Artist

The Gould Standard - Podcast készítő The Glenn Gould Foundation

Ai Weiwei is a unique presence in the world of visual art - equal parts avant-garde icon, activist and moral conscience for our times. His courage is legendary both in pushing the boundaries between the new and the traditional in art and between art and politics. He has inspired the world with his defiance in the face of authoritarianism. Join us for a deeply moving conversation, ranging from Ai's origins and formative influences, his struggles to defend freedom of expression against the forces of repression, his monumental installations and his equally bold provocations of the powerful and complacent through his documentary films. The post Ai Weiwei: The Conscience of An Artist first appeared on The Glenn Gould Foundation.
