The Artist

Ai Weiwei is a Chinese artist who you may want to know about.  This guy has done a ton of cool art.  He's also fought against oppression in China and elsewhere in many significant ways, with many provocative projects.  He's no slacker.  He's no buttcracker.  He's a man with a restrospective show up in Indy right now. All of the pieces were interesting, but his work with the Citizen Investigation team to uncover facts and names about the 90,000 people who died in the 2008 earthquake is fascinating. We loved his whole gig. And we admire his audacious life.
