In China, there is such a city, it is called Jingdezhen (in Russian did not dare to translate), which was once known as a supplier of china imperial court. Ai Wave custom-made working as much as 2 years to produce seeds, which caused an unprecedented rise in the spirit of local workers, because long ago, this area is experiencing a crisis.

Ai Wave with his work reflects on the phenomenon of Made in China, and plays with notions such as manual production and globalization. (I understand that once China had been the exclusive exporter of goods, including the famous Chinese porcelain, and now became the most famous and largest exporter of low-quality fakes - so that each seed is done by hand - as once, and the paint rubs off - as a sign of poor quality in the present tense)

Another important political: during the Cultural Revolution, Mao was depicted in paintings as the sun, and his closest associates as sunflowers, the same who were enemies of the party subjected to sophisticated torture - they were fed only seeds.


Generally Wave is a very interesting conceptualist, I followed him for a long time watching and more and more I liked it. :)

Jingdezhen. :)

Yes, interesting.

These meanings you define, or have information that the artist is also thought of this before?

 :eek: ?
Konstantin, you are asking questions that I begin to automatically look at them the trick .
Of course, I read about it , seeing the thread in the forum and thought only translated . I do not artkrtitik and invent such can not , and , frankly , do not feel the need :D

According to the correspondent of BBC, previously Ai Weiwei, probably, remained on the special position of the authorities because he spoke about the regime is much more sharply than some activists, who was imprisoned in the past few months. The police suspects the Chinese well-known artist and dissident Ai Weiwei in the economic crimes committed by the official Chinese news agency Xinhua.

This is the first report on the fate of Ai Weiwei on Sunday, when he was detained at Beijing airport while trying to fly to Hong Kong.

Wife of artist Lu Qing told reporters that his house was searched, which resulted in the confiscation of computers and money. According to his wife Ai Weiwei, a search involving more than 40 police officers.

"I'm still waiting for the news - said Lu Qing. - While authorities did not give me any information about the fate of Ai Weiwei. "He had a premonition that his arrest" - added her husband.

She also reported that health is concerned the artist, because he suffers from multiple illnesses and are constantly in need of medication.

As the correspondent of BBC in Beijing, Joe Floto, a new investigation into the Ai Weiwei may indicate that official Beijing would like to present it as a common criminal, not political dissident.

On Wednesday, Chinese state newspaper The Global Times described the artist as a drifter, whose work is questionable from the standpoint of the law.

The author of "sunflower seeds"

This week, Western nations called on China to immediately release Ai Weiwei - co-author of the famous Olympic stadium in Beijing and the most famous contemporary artist of the country.

Ai Weiwei is not only famous for his work, including installation Push "Sunflower seeds' Gallery in London Tate Modern, but also sharp criticism of the official Beijing for failing to basic human rights.

According to the correspondent of BBC, previously Ai Weiwei may remain on the special position of the authorities because he spoke about the regime is much more sharply than some activists, who was imprisoned in the past few months.

Over the past few weeks in China have been detained for more than 20 dissidents. Chinese authorities have reacted nervously to mention the possibility of so-called "jasmine revolution" similar to events occurring in the Middle East. http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/society...c_crimes.shtml

It's not "fufel.
Seeds are painted hand.

Like them, judging by the advertisements should be out of this Chinese " bone " china and painted in this ceramic paint and then firing ? .
Made from the same dyed gray ( porcelain ? ) mass , and spent a couple of dashes incomprehensible paint that rubs off in your pocket ? .

And you'd like to see for ages, like the pyramids?

Strange desire to wound even in something ...

You also have to say - are painted in the manual, where do quality paint?
Type shalturili?
Does the fact is erased or not somehow decreases the amount of manual labor?

Like advertised , it is evidence of China's arduous work , the heavy fraction , the Chinese philosophy of life ?
I repeat . Shaltureno on technology , materials and so on . (after all, it was stated that the seeds of Chinese porcelain ! ) . And as evidence made ​​seeds symbolize China's most hack-work that we were carrying shuttles from China all these years , rather than the Chinese industry and philosophy . The artist even unwittingly made ​​in parents of the notorious master production which vtyuhal shuttle traders from Europe to China halturku .
I see this philosophical parallels and the irony , so to speak .
