AI Weiwei: The reception of their artistic production

Abstract

Ai Weiwei is currently the most visible creator inside and outside China, especially for his prolific, heterogeneous, committed and controversial artistic production. Its proposals are of great interest and have a significant impact both on China and on an international stage. It is precisely one of the Chinese contemporary artists who has gained a greater presence in the Spanish media and exhibition spaces, an example being the organisation of the first museum exhibition of his work at the Andalusian Centre of Contemporary Art (2013) and the release of the documentary film about his life and his work Never Sorry (2013), led by Alison Klayman. AI Weiwei is a media author and the visibility of AI Weiwei develops a platform from which artistic projects that focus on certain social issues. At the same time, Ai Weiwei’s political criticism is particularly attractive in a Euro-American context which underlines his role as dissident and stirring. Those parameters will deepen the reception of Ai Weiwei’s artistic production in the international context and in the Spanish context, analysing the approximation that the press outlines about that author.
