  • Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case

    • Friday, September 5 7:00 PM

    Andreas Johnsen (Denmark, 2013). The Fake Case follows Ai in the aftermath of imprisonment and a retaliatory lawsuit meant to silence him. Still undaunted, the artist rails against injustice on the Internet and creates his politically inflected art, such as S.A.C.R.E.D., an installation comprising scaled-down replicas of his jail cell.
