More quotes by Ai Weiwei
I never think any place is better than others.
Ai Weiwei
This so-called contemporary art is not a form, but a philosophy of society.
Ai Weiwei
The whole attitude of society has become much more open and realistic. They realize that the only way to make a more democratic and free society is to let different opinions come out.
Ai Weiwei
Your own acts tell the world who you are and what kind of society you think it should be.
Ai Weiwei
China seems unpredictable because it has a distinct culture and social system. It is still a mystery to other parts of the world, even though the veil of China has been lifted many times as a result of globalization.
Ai Weiwei
Individual that means he has his own special way to communicate, which creates the form of him. In the information age, this expression and communication has become so different.
Ai Weiwei
If I really have nothing to do, I just watch my cats, take some photos, and go back to my personal blog.

I think it's more important to show your work to the public.
Ai Weiwei
If you don’t act, the danger becomes stronger.
Ai Weiwei
The whole Chinese system - not just the political leadership, the military too, the whole power structure, our education system, the whole of society - is suffering from being cut off from the free flow of information. That's why the country can't face up to open competition - unless it resorts to measures like North Korea.
Ai Weiwei
I don't think I was very structured in that society and I don't really believe in personal success, which most Americans believe in.
Ai Weiwei
Once you've tasted freedom, it stays in your heart...
Ai Weiwei
I saw [Allen Ginsberg] more as an old man who liked poetry and who had a lot of physical and emotional problems. We liked our time together.
Ai Weiwei
I think the pearls - one is a necklace, and another you have five hundred pounds of pearls, which may be one million pearls in a bowl - really show a kind of [society] condition.
Ai Weiwei
Everything is selected by the central government without good judgment or an understanding of culture to make it really safe. They will become nobody to maintain their power and be raised to the next higher level.
Ai Weiwei
My musician friends are banned from playing concerts in China because they share the same views as I do. My name cannot appear on the web, because my opinion is different from the Party.
Ai Weiwei
Mass production is nothing new. Weren't cathedrals built through mass production? The pyramids?... Paintings can be painted with the left hand, the right hand, someone else's hand, or many people's hands. The scale of production is irrelevant to its content.
Ai Weiwei
Freedom of speech implies the world isn’t defined. It is meaningful when people are allowed to see the world their way.
