Ai Weiwei - Venice Biennial, 2103

(...) Ai Weiwei has made a map of China entirely out of cans of formula milk. It comments on another of those running national sores he loves to rub salt into: in 2008, tainted baby milk made 300,000 children ill in China and killed six babies. People no longer trust domestic formula milk and now try to get it from abroad. (...) This is the moment of Ai Weiwei, an artist who will be the stuff of legend.
