Well in think the reason for the art was he wanted the vistor to experience and contemplate the essence of his comment on mass consumption, chinese industry, famine and collective work.

And it had a political message which was every time you see chairman Mao in paintings sunflowers are all around him because this name means SUN, and the people around him in the party are the sunflowers.

Do you understand it a bit more???, ' smile' lol

A bunch of seeds means nothing? Tell that to the impovershed village that Weiwei employed to help create these seeds. Tell that to the Chinese people who appreciate the symbolism of the seeds. You probably couldn't inspire anything close to relative significance. Go take your shit and deposit it where it belongs: In your own mouth would be impressive.

Dumb cunt. Those were ceramic. They weren't real seeds. And they didn't go to waste either.

[Ed Zehoo]

Nothing wrong coming to the defense of someone's hard and inspiring work. Better than the apathetic that waste their lives away being apathetic.

Individually painted and hand crafted?!! Wow! I honor and respect Ai Weiwei for his determination to fight Chinese govt for freedom justice etc.but these seeds are a huge waste of precious time.
