Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by robo on Apr 16, 2023 19:26:09 GMT 1, jvp2022 it's the subject of his film 'human flow' about immigration around 20 different country there was also a giant installation in prague about it HF is now soldout for presale Wish to grab it but have to restrain and get only the vase which is a must have imo ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) This is a powerful print for me that uses its materials to support its message perfectly.
The endless circle of the displaced poor and disadvantaged walking forwards, the barbed wire and state surveillance cameras as borders, the birds of free speech with the (sunflower) seeds of globalisation and mass production in their beaks. And all on a mirrored surface that shows the viewerโฆ themselves. And then Ai Weiwei says โif there is one refugee we are all refugees.โ

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by topper on Apr 17, 2023 8:39:49 GMT 1, Absolutely, haven't been this impressed with a release in a long time. My least favourite is Middle Finger in Black and even that works so much more for me than the red version.
I also love that he remains so wholeheartedly political. No softening and no jumping on the latest cause, just goes all in.

No softening and no jumping on the latest cause, just goes all in. To me this is by far the best edition release Iโve ever seen from Ai Weiwei (though the various fingers are good!) and, yeah, probably the best drop of the year so far for me.

Ai Weiwei Avant Art Releases 2023, by Londown 01 on Apr 17, 2023 11:30:38 GMT 1, The vase is great but its also an edition based on some other work of art.
The two prints (Free Speech, Human Flow) are true artworks in the fullest sense: they genuine express an artistic vision and, as Robo has pointed out, use their medium in a creative, meaningful way. That is something that you rarely see these days.

The team is reading the thread but not sure they will answer that kind of question. Release is still for next month. I guess people in this forum have at least buy between 10-20 of each soldout item
