Ai Weiwei sets sights on borders with fences throughout NYC

New York

AI WEIWEI, the provocative Chinese artist, will build more than 100 fences and installations around New York City this fall for Good Fences Make Good Neighbours, one of his most large-scale public art projects to date.

The exhibition, which opens Oct 12, was commissioned by the Public Art Fund to celebrate the organisation's 40th anniversary and will comprise about 10 major fence-themed installations and scores of smaller works spread across multiple boroughs, including Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn.
