Ai Weiwei's new public art installation "Camouflage" debuts at FDR Four Freedoms Park, marking his first major work in NYC since 2017. The installation, opening on September 10, coincides with significant anniversaries related to World War II and the UN General Assembly. It invites visitor participation, allowing them to share thoughts on freedom, symbolizing both reflection and resistance. The artwork features an animal-print camouflage fabric, a departure from traditional military patterns, and reflects Weiwei's critique of current political and cultural issues. It will be displayed until December 1, 2025.
The installation is a monumental new work by Ai Weiwei, marking his return to NYC and launching a public art initiative focused on social justice.
'Camouflage' features a towering structure cloaked in netting, inviting reflections on freedom, symbolizing collective memory and resistance.
