Ai Weiwei's Pacific Northwest Tour and Exhibition at Former Prison Through April 26

Ai Weiwei has declined exhibitions in China for over twenty years. A pop-up exhibition features a comparison between Baidu and Google. His work is part of a large-scale tour across the Pacific Northwest, extending into Canada. An exhibition at a former island prison remains on view until April 26. The tour includes artists Slater Bradley, Sarah Sze, and Lola Montes Schnabel. artcritical's The Review Panel will convene on January 27 at the National Academy Museum, located at 1083 Fifth Avenue, starting at 6:30 PM. New panelist Anthony Haden-Guest joins veterans Michèle Cone and Berlin-based Ana Finel Honigman. A personal statement from artcritical's China correspondent accompanies an editorial on the subject. Readers are encouraged to sign a petition and demonstrate at consulates or embassies on Sunday at 1 pm. Shows about earthquakes, tsunamis, and capsized cruisers eerily foreshadow a hurricane.
