Here are some of the pictures I took from the Ai Weiwei exhibit going on in Toronto. Ai Weiwei is a very famous Chinese artist, although he can't leave the country at the moment. He is famous for designing the stadium the "birds nest" for the 2008 Summer Olympics, which had the opening and closing ceremonies on top of track and field amongst other events.

A collect of metal bars used in construction, they represent the earthquake in the Sichuan province in which many people died due to shoddy construction work.

Antique and historic vases that he has dipped in paint twice. These are supposed to question the viewers about what exactly is art and authenticity. The ancient patterns are blotted out by the modern paint.

Bikes that have been fused together so that they are an endless circle. It's supposed to represent Chinas endless love of bikes even as their use has declined.

A sculpture made from the wood of 8 pillars that were found. These pillars are from Temples during the Qing Dynasty. They were assembled using Chinese joinery techniques. There is a map of China through it and it's supposed to represent that China is composed of many cultural and historical portions.

That's a compilation of some of middle fingers to monuments that he did. Very famous, and they had many of these pictures at the gallery. I didn't take pictures of them though.
