Short Description:
Being In
Toronto and experiencing the Ai Weiwei exhibit as it tours north America for

geometry and repetition was involved

Direct Outcomes of this
Event/Activity
(point form précis)
I am
impressed by his ability to make artwork that speaks about a country and
population and government though objects the way he does, the school children
and the density vases are amongst my absolute favorites.
I love
how he questions tradition by breaking the vases and making that one of the
most controversial art pieces that deal with the worlds largest nation.
