Ai Weiwei: Sunflower seeds
Ai Weiwei is one of the most popular Chinese artists of our time. For Tate Modern's The Unilever Series he has been commissioned to produce a new work. The sculptural installation titled Sunflower Seeds looks rather minimalistic at first sight. What seems to be an ocean of sunflower seed husks, is in reality a flat landscape of over 100 million individually handmade porcelain replicas of the seed.
Visitors are invited to walk across the surface of the work. It's a sensory and immersive installation, which visitors can touch, walk on and listen to as the seeds shift beneath their feet.
Although they look identical from a distance, every seed is different and handcrafted by skilled artisans. Sunflower Seeds is the largest work Ai Weiwei has made using porcelain, one of China's most prized exports. Previously Ai has created imitation fruit, clothes and vases. Sunflower Seeds weighs over 150 metric tons, covering 1000 square meters of the Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
Ai Weiwei was born in 1957 in Beijing, China, where he lives and works. He has exhibited internationally, including recent solo shows at Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, and Haus der Kunst, Munich. He has participated in the Sao Paulo Biennial, Documenta 12 in Kassel, and Tate Liverpool. Ai Weiwei also founded the design company Fake Design and co-founded the China Art Archives and Warehouse in Beijing.
The Unilever Series: Ai Weiwei is curated by Juliet Bingham, Curator, Tate Modern, supported by Kasia Redzisz, Assistant Curator, Tate Modern. The Unilever Series of annual commissions was launched in 2000 when Tate Modern opened with Louise Bourgeois's I Do, I Undo, I Redo. Since then, the following artists have created work specifically for the Turbine Hall: Juan Munoz, Anish Kapoor, Olafur Eliasson, Bruce Nauman, Rachel Whiteread, Carsten Höller, Doris Salcedo, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, and Miroslaw Balka.

Garotas Boazinhas
GAROTAS BOAZINHAS
Thais Ueda apresenta a exposição “Garotas Boazinhas” que é composta por 10 desenhos produzidos entre 2007 e 2010 - feitos em grafite e pastel sobre papel.
A série foi inspirada a partir do ditado em inglês ‘good girls go to heaven, bad girls go to everywhere’ (garotas boazinhas vão para o céu, garotas malvadas vão para qualquer lugar) e retratam garotas em fundo infinito branco – referência aos editoriais de moda – onde a ausência de qualquer traço do mundo exterior se mostra numa possibilidade de um mergulho profundo no eu e na liberdade de ser e agir sem pressões e padrões impostos pela sociedade. A artista também apresenta a série ‘Aviso aos Predadores’, que faz parte desse mesmo universo de trabalho.
Thais Ueda é desenhista e trabalha com técnicas diversas, transitando entre pintura, desenhos e objetos. Dona de um traço delicado, chama a atenção por suas criações extremamente sensíveis e, ao mesmo tempo, voluptuosas. Seus desenhos costumam ter formatos pequenos e ser em preto e branco, no intuito de instigar a proximidade do olhar.Tem exposto regularmente no Brasil; já expôs no MAC de São Paulo e foi premiada pela Fiat Mostra Brasil - concurso de artes visuais – em 2006.“Em 2010 lançou o livro “Tenho pena de você”, pela editora Item72.
