"Kippe" by Ai Weiwei (2006)

5 Facts About Artist Ai Weiwei and his work "Kippe"(2006)

Ai Weiwei is an activist.

Ai Weiwei was imprisoned for tax evasion. 

Ai Weiwei's father was a renowned poet.

Ai Weiwei stands for human rights.

In German, the word "Kippe" means "the act of mounting the parallel bars."

The way I thought about the artwork changed from the first time I looked at it because I got more insight into who Ai Weiwei is and why he made this piece. Before I saw it as a bunch of wood pieced together tightly with what looks like a few other things as well. Now, understanding he was a gymnast himself and the "few other things" were parallel iron gymnastics bars and the wood being from the Qing Dynasty Temples, the artwork has more meaning to me. After reading this information and analyzing the photo of the art more, I can now see the metal gymnastics bars and the wood piled up, almost in the way, and blocking the bars off from my point of view.
