AI WEIWEI ACCORDING TO WHAT?

The creative genius of controversial Chinese artist Ai WeiWei spans sculpting, photography, filmmaking, architecture and activism. His work explores hot- button issues in culture, history, politics and the significance of expression. Now on display at the historic Brooklyn Museum, Ai WeiWei: According to What? takes viewers through the complex mind of the world’s most provocative artists. The exhibition features gripping imagery accompanied by a heart-wrenching installation of salvaged rubble and items from the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake.

Duggal is proud of both our relationship with the Brooklyn Museum and being entrusted by them to be a part of this riveting exhibition. Marina Stark and Faye Iwata consulted with museum curators to produce more than 6,000 square feet of gallery-quality wallpaper displaying Ai WeiWei’s artwork, including the two-room earthquake installation and a complete transformation of museum staircases into visual galleries.
