"Humanity" is a comprehensive retrospective of the renowned contemporary artist Ai Weiwei, showcasing his immense talent and unwavering commitment to social justice. Beyond his status as an artist, Ai Weiwei is an ardent activist and fierce critic of authoritarian systems, using his art as a powerful platform to raise awareness and challenge oppressive regimes.
The exhibition, titled "Humanity," encompasses a vast array of Ai Weiwei's key works from various stages of his career. It delves deep into the theme of humanity and artistic responsibility, exploring the profound impact of his oeuvre on society. Through meticulous examination, the catalogue sheds light on concepts such as surveillance, censorship, human rights, freedom of expression, human displacement, radical responsibility, the power of beauty, and the truth of poetry.
Guided by these profound ideas, the exhibition offers fresh perspectives on the relevance of Ai Weiwei's artistic language. It encompasses a diverse range of art-historical paradigms, including the readymade, alongside more radical activist strategies, all aimed at exploring the extremes of the contemporary human condition on a global scale.
The exhibition will be held at Abertina Modern, from March 13 to June 26, 2022. Visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Ai Weiwei's thought-provoking artwork, which has the power to inspire, provoke, and challenge us to think critically about the world we live in.
