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.
