Ai Weiei is a Chinese artist and dissident. He is a passionate and creative man, a flawed human being, a man who makes objects and serious mischief for the Chinese government, a man of courage. He is serious artist, and like every serious artist he has something which he must stand up against and push against.
Eugene Ionesco said: Art is the collision of a man against the universe. Every serious artist must pick a chunk of the universe to collide. Ai Weiwei has chosen his and demonstrates to us how this can be done in a powerful way.

About Me
- Gary
- I've taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati for 30 years. My way to art was a bit out of the ordinary. BS, Tulane University in Mathematics and Chemistry, ready to start a dissertion in mathematics at U. of Notre Dame. Dropped out to teach at a small college in E.Kentucky. Then BS in fine art from U. of New Orleans and MFA, Drawing, U. of Cincinnati. So the study of art is less the basis of my art-making than a solid liberal arts approach to the world.
