Ai Weiwei at the RA
The RA is famed for its 'Blockbuster' exhibitions and the new display by controversial artist Ai Weiwei is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
As a political activist, and highly critical of the Chinese government, chosen works on display focus on themes of creative freedom, human rights and censorship, all stemming from his personal experiences, including his own incarceration.
The stunning Bicycle Chandelier, adorned with hundreds of crystals, is a statement conveying that owning a bike in China has become a luxury and acts as a critique on the rapid modernisation over the past decades.
