What’s deemed as the Tuscan exhibition of the year is dedicated to, the most famous living Chinese artist, Ai Weiwei. ‘Reframe’ is a provocative exhibition that plays upon poignent events from the past few years. For example, the installation of the life rafts, symbolising the plight of migrants trying to reach Europe in escape of poverty and war. Ai Weiwei’s exhibition demonstrates a deep sense of rebellion against Chinese and Western censorship.
