"According To What?"

This is the title of the Ai Weiwei show that has been on at the Art Gallery Of Ontario (AGO) since August and which I finally got to see it this week. They actually allowed photography so I will show some pics over the next few days. The show "spotlights the complexities of a changing world" including such issues as human rights and freedom of expression.

    I sure hope he pronounces his name "way-way" and not "wee-wee". I now, juvenile of me. I can't help it! :)

    Enticing sign...what? I shall look forward to how Mr. Weiwei deals with or explains these "complexities" of our changing world. Maybe he'll have some answers. :)

    I have of course heard about it- if I'm passing through Toronto, I'll have to check it out.

    This should be fun to see. I have seen some interesting work by Wei Wei and some not so interesting work.

    A great example of the art of signage. Imposing body language forms part of the sign.

    Great sign, and I like the "Grapes" photo. I, too, was intrigued with the shadows of the stools.

    Love it when they allow you to take photos at exhibitions, gives more people a chance to experience the art.
