SAM is excited to pilot a new Chinese language tour! This 60-minute Mandarin guided tour of Ai, Rebel: The Art and Activism of Ai Weiwei explores how Ai Weiwei's art disrupts authority through scale, materiality, repetition, and humor. Take a close look at artworks made across 40 years of Ai's career and learn how his artistic and activist practices have evolved.
A Mandarin-speaking SAM docent will guide participants in understanding Ai's absurd juxtapositions, thoughtful material choices, and biting commentary in the artist's native language.
Any visitor with a timed-entry ticket who has entered the exhibition can join the tour. Tours meet inside the exhibition's entry. This tour will be entirely in Mandarin. English-language tours are offered every Saturday and Sunday at 1:15 pm.
