Elena Foster (Editor) This is a catalogue from the first Spanish exhibition of the Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei (China, 1957). This artist via photography, sculpture, architecture, installations and his blog has become an obligatory reference for other artists and particularly for contemporary Chinese art. The exhibition, Ways Beyond Art, shows legendary works such as Bubbles, The Wave and The Coca-cola Vase. Each piece has been produced from the kilns which Weiwei built for firing his own work. The Coca-cola Vase, belongs to a series which reproduces forms of Neolithic and Chinese Dynasty antique vases with the Coca-cola logo stamped on their exterior. The work is a demonstration of the ironic humour of the artist which he unites in the same object with traditional Chinese culture (an ingredient which carries enormous weight in the artistic production of China) and simultaneously, provocatively questioning the way in which Chinese society is confronting its recent convergence with the West.
