Chinese architect, filmmaker, artist and more, Ai Weiwei, has a new book. The book is Fairytale: A Reader and it is based on Weiwei's invitation to 1001 Chinese citizens of all ages and backgrounds, to come to Germany and experience Europe's innovative five-yearly art event at documenta 12 in Kassel and live a "fairytale" for 28 days.

The book is a sort of chronicle of the project and is, indeed, part of the project. It includes texts from a variety of experts, documents, questionnaires all produced during the event. The book offers a view that calls into question the foundation of documenta. It brings up questions of a curatorial, ideological and artistic nature and the problems of these at each event.

Bicha Gallery presents the book launch for Dada (aka Coex’ ae Qgam), a Naro artist, dancer and storyteller. The book is by Ann Gollifer and Jenny Egner. The reception takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on September 30, 2011 (or 30 September for you in the UK….how did we wind up writing that differently? Probably same reason we drive on different sides of the road). The event is at Bicha, 7 Gabriel’s Wharf, South Bank, London SE1 9PP. That date coincides with Botswana’s Independence Day

Dada passed away in 2008 at the age of 74 but she was aware of this book project detailing and letting the world know about her life and work. Gollifer and Egner worked compiling material for this book for over 6 years, spending time with the artist and conducting multiple interviews. The idea all along was this book and it sounds like a fantastic project.

Dada was the first woman artist in Botswana to represent her nation around the world. She was an ambassador for a small group of artists working in the Kalahari (the Kuru Art Project), for women and for all marginalized groups around the world. This book is to be her story in words and art.
