“The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.” -
Ai Weiwei
Exhibited in YSP 18th century chapal which has recenlty been revonvaed to a high standard is Ai Weiwei's iron tree, 2013, the exhibition also clevery forms a connection between father and son, acommpaning the piece are poetry reading by Ai Qing, Ai Weiwei’s father.
The 6 metre tall iron sculpture presented outside the chapel suggests the idea of freedom, I liked it's situation when i visited, being outside trees are naturally free to grow and live to their fullest, whereas if it were confined in a space it could not bloosm
which relates to freedom in someways, such as outside brings alot more oppertunities then if you stay inside.
The sculpture also represents the individual within society, whilst also connecting with the history and character of the building.
