  • The city and environment in which an artist lives and works naturally influences their ideas, practice and form. Here we focus on Beijing and its most famous formerly detained resident, Ai Weiwei.
    Artist Cities is a new series co-produced with The Guardian, in which we explore the native or adopted cities of a range of major international artists. We learn how each artist has identified and developed a relationship with the landscape and city they call home and how such connections materialise in their work.

    I have been lived in Beijing for 8 years and am now living in London to seek further study and have just visited the exhibition of AI WEIWEI in Royal Academic of Arts. What I want to say about Beijing is, it is quite crowded because there are so many many people there, to seek their future or old dreams, this is where the people, especially the youth can have an opportunity to change what they want. Beijing vs China is like London vs UK. I was taking underground to get off work and go to work, its hard to imagine how bad I feel about the pressure and crowd. However, what can I do? how can I balance my dream and reality? I feel kind of lost in thinking about this. In my field, how can I to expand art? the let more people enjoy the process and beautiful environment in art, that is quite difficult to change, considering the education system, people balance , society, freedom, and social norm about capital and spiritual enjoyment. While I know, every social system has its own ads and disads, you can't ignore Beijing has given to you and help to you even though I know there is much to be done and changed and predicted. Also, people are changing too, so I will give my hope to Beijing.

    He is wrong, he aways think the others all like himself, the young peoples in China doesn't need freedom of speech,they prefer Money and apartment .
    And i think the surveillance cameras are important to the city , it's not to just control ,but to protect, as you see this is a huge city, most of the accident and crime need to find clue in the surveillance cameras.
    He aways criticism the things subjectivity.
