Ai Weiwei: Dropping the Urn, Ceramic Works 5000 BCE-2010 CE
Details
This fully illustrated catalog features four commissioned essays appearing both in English and in Chinese translation. In addition to a comprehensive, first-hand account of the place of ceramics within Ai Weiwei's larger multi-disciplinary practice by Philip Tinari, the book includes a text by critic Dario Gamboni (examining Ai's strategies within the legacy of iconoclasm); an essay situating Ai's work within the tradition of Chinese ceramics by Stacey Pierson (a noted scholar in the field), and a text by Glenn Adamson (head of graduate studies in the research department at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London) exploring Ai's ongoing iterations of his Coca-Cola Vase.
The publication also includes the first English translation of an interview with Ai originally published in his White Cover Book (1995), the second in an influential trio of volumes that marked the re-emergence of the contemporary art scene in the mid-1990s. The exhibition catalog was produced in collaboration with Office for Discourse Engineering, a Beijing-based editorial studio.
