More quotes by Ai Weiwei
The art always wins. Anything can happen to me, but the art will stay.
Ai Weiwei
As a human being, member of society, you must clearly state your mind. It's a responsibility. It is the way you identify yourself otherwise you don't know who you are and why you are here.
Ai Weiwei
To experience poetry is to see over and above reality. It is to discover that which is beyond the physical, to experience another life and another level of feeling. It is to wonder about the world, to understand the nature of people and, most importantly, to be shared with another, old or young, known or unknown.
Ai Weiwei
Somehow, we [ Tan Dun and director Chen Kaige] were all privileged at the time we could be outside of China. But at the moment, we had no sense of what the future was going to be like.
Ai Weiwei
A lot of the time [in the U.S.], I was thinking about how spending time is always questionable or is always the biggest obstacle in my life.
Ai Weiwei
Because Great Britain has self-confidence, it doesn't need a monumental Olympics.
Ai Weiwei
Dont retreat. Retweet!
Ai Weiwei
I don't believe in the so-called Olympic spirit. I speak from personal experience. When China hosted the Games, it failed to include the people. The event was constructed without regard for their joy.
Ai Weiwei
I think by shattering it we can create a new form, a new way to look at what is valuable — how we decide what is valuable.
Ai Weiwei
[Cultural department] understand nothing but bureaucratic daily affairs. They don't care about culture.
Ai Weiwei
China partially wants to become part of the world. By hosting the Olympics and the Expo, they made a big effort to tell people: Look, we are the same. They want to be accepted by the international community.
Ai Weiwei
Because Chinese art is booming, it legitimizes this profession.
Ai Weiwei
I think my stance and my way of life is my most important art.
Ai Weiwei
I suddenly realized I was getting ten opening notes a day on my mobile phone, more than when I was in New York. But this is China, where nothing is surprising.
Ai Weiwei
New York is a city where you're so alone, you're an individual, you can disappear. You can make something happen. But it's very different to make something happen in the art world.
Ai Weiwei
China has a rich history that has spanned millennia. It consists of the histories of many nations and regions.
Ai Weiwei
What is important is that we actively express our thoughts and wishes, in every realm that we can access.
Ai Weiwei
Creativity is the power to reject the past, to change the status quo, and to seek new potential. Simply put, aside from using one's imagination - perhaps more importantly - creativity is the power to act.
Ai Weiwei
Even if there have been setbacks during these past years, China is changing. China's society is opening.
Ai Weiwei
Art is always about overcoming obstacles between the inner condition and the skill for expression.
