Did anyone else get to Nathan Phillips Square to see the Ai Weiwei zodiac exhibit?
A reinterpretation by Ai Weiwei of the 12 bronze animal heads representing
the Chinese zodiac that once stood in the gardens of the Yuanming Yuan (Garden
of Perfect Brightness, Old Summer Palace), an imperial retreat in Beijing. Exhibit was supposed to come down yesterday to
make room for a version of Weiwei’s “Forever Bicycles” sculpture – 3,000
bicycles – a Nuit Blanche exhibit this year.
In the order of the Chinese zodiac -
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig
(in the interest of full disclosure - I'm a rooster!!!)
