Serge Spitzer and Ai Weiwei until 27.08 MMK, Frankfurt

Our image of China is shaped by a mixture of fascination and skepticism – an experimental combination of authority, Taoism and Modernity.

Chinese artist Ai Weiwei (born 1957, lives and works in Beijing) stands for a generation embroiled in upheaval. Likewise, the works of US artist Serge Spitzer (born 1951, lives and works in New York) focus not only on the discovery and investigation of »models of reality« but on the use of everyday materials. On the occasion of the »Humanism in China« exhibition, both artists have for the first time joined forces to create an expansive installation entitled »Ghost Valley coming down the Mountain« (2005 – 2006).
