http://www.njtvonline.org/state-of-the-arts/ Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei has become an international celebrity. The Chinese government has revoked his passport, but through Twitter, his art exhibitions at museums like the Hirshhorn and the Tate, and the documentary "Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry", he is reaching more people than ever before. The 2013 Princeton University Press book "Weiwei-isms" is an introduction to the artist through his tweets and other short writings. State of the Arts talks to the editor of "Weiwei-isms" Larry Warsh and to Cecilia Rouse, Dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, about the political impact of Ai Weiwei's work, and about the 12 monumental bronzes that make up his "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads," on display at Princeton University through August 1, 2013.
