If you haven't yet been able to get to London to see Chinese artist Ai WeiWei's magnificent sunflower seed installation at the Tate, then here's another opportunity to see his work elsewhere in Europe.
From 18th November until the 27th of March next year, Copenhagen's Faurschou Gallery is presenting a selection of works by Ai Weiwei; including half a ton of the porcelain sunflower seeds from the Turbine Hall installation.
A number of Ai Weiwei's works created using antique Chinese vases and urns, as well as more recent works in porcelain, made according to ancient traditions will make up the show as well as 'Coloured Vases', which is a series of ancient Neolithic vases (5000 - 3000 BC), which Ai Weiwei has dipped in latex paint in bright, strong colours.
There is also the 'Coca-Cola Vase', a vase from the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 24 AD) painted over with the Coca-Cola logo, as well as 'Dust to Dust' - glass jars in a stringently minimal wooden bookcase filled with dust from Neolithic pottery that has been crushed and ground.
All in all, an important overview of works by a contemporary artist who; according to ArtReview's Top 100 this November, is actually considered the most significant artist in the world today.
