Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry trailer
Ai Weiwei is China’s most famous international artist, and its most outspoken domestic critic. Against a backdrop of strict censorship and an unresponsive legal system, Ai expresses himself and organizes people through art and social media. In response, Chinese authorities have shut down his blog, beat him up, bulldozed his newly built studio, and held him in secret detention.
AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY is the inside story of a dissident for the digital age who inspires global audiences and blurs the boundaries of art and politics. First-time director Alison Klayman gained unprecedented access to Ai while working as a journalist in China. Her detailed portrait provides a nuanced exploration of contemporary China and one of its most compelling public figures.
Happy birthday to Ai Weiwei! (What is there to say about Ai that hasn’t already been said? We just love that he always keeps us guessing.)

I really like watching time lapse videos by artists/ illustrators. It’s very interesting watching the progress of an artwork. Angie Mason has a channel on youtube, where you can find a lot of time lapse videos. I adore her unique style!
