Renowned Chinese contemporary artist and architect of Chinese modernism, Ai Weiwei is expected to host an exhibition in Morocco in 2025, according to information obtained by Hespress.
Ai Weiwei’s works are considered to be among the most valuable in the global art market.
The Chinese artist visited a number of Moroccan museums in April, namely in Rabat and Marrakech, leaving him with a positive impression of the country’s museum landscape, according to the same source.
Ai Weiwei is expected to host a special exhibition showcasing his experience in the upcoming two years, at the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in the capital.
Ai Weiwei left a written commitment assuring that he “will return to Morocco,” expressing that he “feels great love for this beautiful country.”
Ai Weiwei is a dissident critic of the Chinese government, a vital instigator in Chinese cultural development, and one of the nation’s most vocal political commentators.
His sculptures, photographs, and public works are printed with his firm opposition to tyranny and anything that touches on freedom of opinion and expression, which led him to be imprisoned in his home country of China for 81 days in 2011, before eventually leaving to seek refuge in Germany four years later.
When asked about his past solicitudes, the Chinese artist believes that there is no work of art made of pure beauty, as “beauty only comes from one’s own suffering.”
