Ai Weiwei: Forever Bicycles

Ai Weiwei has a new installation at the Taipei Fine Arts Museum in Taiwan that is incredible. I love the idea of taking something you see everyday and making it in to something new and amazing. The scale is massive, but it makes me think, what other common things can I repurpose to make something new and exciting?

Ai’s most recent work, created specifically for TFAM, “Forever Bicycles.” This installation piece is made up of more than 1,000 bicycles and will be shown in a display area that is 10m high. Its layered labyrinthine space creates what appears to be a moving abstract shape that symbolizes the way in which the social environment in China is changing.
