Note du spécialiste

‘All humanity lives according to certain immutable conditions of life and of society. That has always been so. Artists should always aim to challenge these whenever the opportunity arises’

(A. Weiwei, quoted in ‘Where Architect Fear to Tread’, in Art India, December 2007, p.58)
