Ai Weiwei in New York’s Lower East Side, 1985. “I’ve always been close to art, and all the effort that I make today – be it filmmaking, writing or creating installations – is a process of redefining myself,” @aiww tells @totheme75 in #Mastermind11. “Without this process, I would not exist. So, art and I have always been an integral whole, whether I have realized it or not.” Read more from #AiWeiwei at the link in bio. Photo courtesy of the artist.
