This book was published in conjunction with the exhibition of new commissioned works by Ai Weiwei at the Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and the Campbelltown Arts Centre in Australia, where a major survey spanning twenty years of the artist's career was also organized. Through his work, Ai Weiwei raises a series of questions about cultural violence and critically reflects on China's history. As stated by Gene Sherman, Chair and Executive Director of Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation, “Ai Weiwei continues to fashion the cultural landscape of China resolutely, collaboratively, courageously and with uncompromising vigour… He has become, and will remain, a key cultural figure of our time."

With essay by Charles Merewether, preface by Gene Sherman and introduction by Lisa Havilah. Artist biography included.
