Ai Weiwei is known as one of China’s most provocative and vocal artists. His focus on human rights and social change eventually led to his nearly three-month detainment by Chinese authorities in 2011. Since his arrest, Ai Weiwei has been kept under constant surveillance by the government, having a tremendous impact upon his work. Curator of Contemporary Art Sarah Green discusses the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s featured exhibition (April 5–July 21, 2013), highlighting a broad spectrum of the artist’s practice—from sculpture, photography, and video to site-specific architectural installations.

Public programs and opening celebration for Ai Weiwei: According to What? are sponsored by Barnes & Thornburg LLP.
