  • This is just one of the 92,829 postcards sent from Alcatraz to prisoners of conscience all over the world for @aiww’s “Yours Truly” installation. A book chronicling “Yours Truly” — from Weiwei’s inspiration for the work to the lives of five of the postcard recipients — titled “Ai Weiwei: Yours Truly — Art, Human Rights, and the Power of Writing a Letter” is out now. It even includes four pre-addressed, tear-out postcards so that readers can participate as well. Follow the link in our profile to read an interview with the book’s editor, David Spalding, and learn more. #ArtAboutPlace
  • Calling all West Coast-ers, art world jet-setters, and Ai Weiwei enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for @aiww’s L.A. takeover later this month. Weiwei has three — yes, THREE — concurrent shows: “Ai Weiwei: Life Cycle” @marcianoartfoundation Sept. 28; @utaartistspace Oct. 4; and @jeffreydeitchgallery Sept. 29.
  • Sharing a post from @alexiawebster highlighting a portrait from her ongoing Street Studio series. We’re including the full caption of Alexia’s original post below — please take a moment to read it. #PublicArt provides an important platform for dialogue around difficult issues, and we applaud artists like Alexia for helping us to see and understand them, and doing so in a way that celebrates the beauty of our shared humanity. . . . . Nyaloki Mayor, 13, poses with flowers in a United Nations IDP camp in Juba, South Sudan. In May 2016, with the amazing support of the @theiwmf , I travelled to Juba, South Sudan. During the trip we visited an IDP camp of South Sudanese that had been displaced by on-going conflicts and we created a Street Studio in the camp as part of my long term project. The Street Studio sets up portrait studios on street corners and public spaces in areas of uncertainty, and offers free printed portraits to any one passing by. This series was recently defaced by vandals who drew swastikas and scratched out the faces of people of colour during a public exhibition with @festivalpilours Saint Gilles Croix de Vie in the South of France. I hope this won't be an opportunity for fear and racism to have another platform but rather highlight the need for public art and how important the debates it raises are.
  • “…having to work, to earn a certain image, feels right. If it comes too easy, it might be suspect.” . . . A little inspiration for your Thursday, courtesy of artist #AbelardoMorell. Check out the full video, created for FOR-SITE’s past exhibition “International Orange” by visiting FOR-SITE’s YouTube channel (link in bio). There you’ll find many other artist interviews and interesting tidbits from our projects and programs over the years. #ArtAboutPlace #TBT
