Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has unveiled his latest public installation at the Vancouver Biennale in the Harbour Green Park.
F Grass, is 182 square meters and features 1,328 tufts of iron grass that spell out the letter “f.” F Grass is a continuation of the artist’s large-scale installation such as “Sunflower Seeds” as they both share a theme – “the relationship between the individual and the collective and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of Chinese government censorship, control and secrecy.”
Also Weiwei’s studio is located in Caochangdi, Beijing, which translates to “grasslands” in Mandarin, and the slang for the f-word is pronounced the same way as the character for “grass.”
