His artistic practice is inextricably linked with cultural engagement and willingly crosses barriers between different media—cultural, artistic, and social. It was perhaps his detention from 2011 until August 2015 by the Chinese government that brought his views to the greatest audience. Ai Weiwei now lives in Germany and continues to create new works and uses his significant international profile to promote artistic and personal freedom.  These twelve sculptures depict the animals associated with the traditional Chinese zodiac. Ai Weiwei’s cycle references a European rendering of the zodiac animals designed by the Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione. The original sculptures were built in the eighteenth century for an elaborate water-clock fountain at the Yuanming Yuan (Old Summer Palace), which was ransacked in 1860. By recreating the lost and displaced statues, Ai Weiwei engages issues of looting, repatriation, and cultural heritage while expanding upon ongoing themes in his work concerning the “fake” and “copy” in relation to the original.  Ai Weiwei now works in Berlin, Germany.</div>

Ai Weiwei, artista contemporáneo chino de fama mundial, es escultor, instalador, diseñador arquitectónico, comisario y crítico social y cultural, y expone su obra internacionalmente desde finales de los años noventa. Su práctica artística está indisolublemente ligada al compromiso cultural y cruza voluntariamente las barreras entre los diferentes medios de comunicación: culturales, artísticos y sociales. Quizá fue su detención por el Gobierno chino desde 2011 hasta agosto de 2015 lo que hizo que sus opiniones llegaran a un público más amplio. Ai Weiwei vive ahora en Alemania y sigue creando nuevas obras y utilizando su importante perfil internacional para promover la libertad artística y personal. Estas doce esculturas representan los animales asociados al zodiaco tradicional chino. El ciclo de Ai Weiwei hace referencia a una representación europea de los animales del zodiaco diseñada por el jesuita italiano Giuseppe Castiglione. Las esculturas originales se construyeron en el siglo XVIII para una elaborada fuente-reloj de agua del Yuanming Yuan (Antiguo Palacio de Verano), que fue saqueado en 1860. Al recrear las estatuas perdidas y desplazadas, Ai Weiwei aborda cuestiones como el saqueo, la repatriación y el patrimonio cultural, al tiempo que profundiza en temas ya presentes en su obra como la "falsificación" y la "copia" en relación con el original. Ai Weiwei trabaja actualmente en Berlín, Alemania.
