According to What? Ai Wei Wei (food for thoughts on Art/Craft)

I tend to snap photos of things I want to think about later. In October, we visited The Hirshorn at the Smithonian in Washington, DC, and had a chance to see for the first time the work of Ai Wei Wei. I was aware of his politics, but not of his art, so it was very interesting for me to see his comments, the shear beauty of the arrangement of materials to express meaning in a bigger context of moral & political outrage, and more food for thought for the ongoing debate, what is Art, what is Craft, and moreover, “According to What?”
