Between April 12 – 15, 2012, Montreal held the annual Paper Show, number 12 this time, in French - PAPIER 12. What impressed me the most was a giant cardboard stature by the Canadian artist Sean Martindale of the Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The sculpture is 8 feet high. Next to it stands a 40 lb bag of sunflower seeds, the direct reference to Ai WeiWei’s installation at the Tate Modern Gallery in London, England, as seen in a photo in my previous article on Ai Weiwei just below this post.
This sculpture is quite magnificent and I trust you will appreciate it as much as I did.
