A new hand-signed edition by Ai Weiwei continuing THE SKATEROOM’s ongoing collaboration with the artist.

Produced with museum-grade quality and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

About the Artist
Ai Weiwei (b. 1957) is a Chinese artist, filmmaker and outspoken activist whose wide‑ranging practice merges sculpture, installation, architecture, photography and public‑intervention.
After spending time in New York in the 1980s, Ai returned to Beijing in the early 1990s, helping found the experimental artist‑space China Art Archives & Warehouse (CAAW). His art frequently engages themes of freedom, surveillance, and human rights: for example, his monumental porcelain installation Sunflower Seeds (2010) at the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern deployed 100 million hand‑crafted porcelain seeds weighing ~10 tonnes.
In 2011 he was detained by Chinese authorities for 81 days and later prohibited from travel—events that turned his own biography into part of his art. Today he works across multiple global bases, including Portugal, Germany and the UK, continuing to challenge the structures of power, craft, and cultural production.
