Ai Weiwei - Straight (2013)
“It was the Sichuan earthquake in May of 2008 that turned Mr. Ai from cultural purveyor to iconoclast. He rightly believed that the tragedy of this event, a thousand miles from Beijing in the heart of rural China, was magnified by the state’s refusal to investigate its particularly tragic circumstances: the death of more than 5,000 children due to shoddy school construction.
In the years that followed, Mr. Ai put this belief into action. He visited the devastation, documenting the sites in photos and videos, and organized what he called a ‘citizens’ investigation’ to identify and memorialize each child killed in this disaster.
Straight is made up of 38 tons of rebar (steel rod) recovered from Sichuan after the earthquake and is a rough and powerful work regardless of what else we know about it.”

Ryan Everson - Fear
“My most recent work comes from abstract emotional states stirred up from specific self reflective moments. These moments arise as I become more aware of myself in the present and my inability to control the future. I capture these in-between moments of self doubt and inward reflection and impose them on the viewer. […] I want the viewer to feel like they should be doing something besides just viewing. The work is begging to be activated but is frozen at its peak which accentuates the works beautiful but dark theatricality
