Ai Weiwei: Art / Architecture
.jpg)
When Ai Weiwei was invited to mount a big solo exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz one and a half years ago, no one could have foreseen the present situation. At the beginning of April 2011, the artist was arrested at Beijing Capital International Airport and, after two-and-a-half months of uncertainty, was released on bail. While Ai Weiwei is thus no longer being detained, he must nevertheless fulfill strict bail conditions. He is forbidden to leave Peking without permission for the next 12 months, to speak about his captivity, and to give press interviews. He is accused by the Chinese government of economic offences. According to a close friend, the tax authorities have imposed fines in the millions.

The works by the Erfurt-born photographer, who today lives in Leipzig and who regularly travels the globe to create his photo-series, are represented in public and private collections worldwide. His photographs are also on view in the MKM's presentation of the Ströher Collection.

Amy Croft: up there down there
.jpg)
'up there down there' is the first solo exhibition by the British artist Amy Croft. The exhibition’s point of departure is the physical and psychological states of orientation and disorientation within the built environment, and how the sensory experience of a city’s form affects ones ability to identify or distinguish oneself from it.
