Seattle Art Museum curator Foong Ping unpacks the story behind Ai Weiwei’s piece "Illumination," an iconic work built from thousands of LEGO pieces. "Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei" traces four decades of the artist’s bold ideas for challenging authority and amplifying truth. This landmark exhibition marks Ai’s first U.S. retrospective in more than ten years and his largest in the country. Exhibition ends Sept. 7. Created by Vincent Pierce.
