Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei turns his attention to Alcatraz—a place he has never set foot, but that stands as a world-famous symbol of both incarceration and protest. This book offers an inside look at the site-specific body of work Weiwei has created for a major art exhibition on the island, happening from September 27, 2014–April 26, 2015. Consisting of multimedia installations, sculptures, sound works, and more, the work from the exhibition is presented here in photographs, essays, and interviews with curators, human rights activists, and the artist himself. An in-depth look of this tremendously exciting show and the important questions of creativity and expression it raises, At Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz is an essential document from one of the most groundbreaking artists working today.
