Published in conjunction with the touring exhibition organized by Arcadia University Art Gallery in Glenside, Pennsylvania, the book includes four commissioned essays and a newly translated interview with the artist. In addition to a comprehensive, first-hand account of the place of ceramics in Ai Weiwei's oeuvre by Philip Tinari, the book includes a text by Dario Gamboni situating the artist's strategies within the legacy of iconoclasm. Stacey Pierson places Ai Weiwei's appropriations of historical vessels and his recent porcelain works in the tradition of Chinese ceramics, and Glenn Adamson explores the artist's various iterations of his Coca-Cola Vase.
The catalogue also includes the first complete English translation of an interview with the artist originally published in the influential white Cover Book (Baipishu, 1995), which Ai co-edited; the foreword is by exhibition co-curators Gregg Moore and Richard Torchia. The essays appear in both English and Chinese.
