Ai Weiwei

Write a 2 paragraph response. Watch the short videos, "Ai Weiwei Does Gangnam Style" and "Anish Kapoor and Friends Perform Gangnam Style for Ai Weiwei". Why did these artists, starting with Ai Weiwei, choose to perform "Gangnam Style"? Do you think they accomplished their goals? Why or why not? Using Ai Weiwei's art and life as an example, explain how can art serve as a protest against political and social circumstances - or whether it even should.
