CRABS AND MERMAIDS juxtaposes two events related to Ai Weiwei’s practice in China. CRABS references “The Crab House,” a documentary Ai Weiwei produced about the forced demolition of his Shanghai studio by the Chinese authorities in 2011. Ai’s Zuoyou studio in Beijing was later also demolished in 2018. “Crab,” or he xie, is a homonym for “harmonious,” a euphemism for state censorship. MERMAIDS references an early work on the issue of surveillance, titled “Mermaid Exchange.” During the Shanghai EXPO in 2010, the Danish government relocated it’s famous statue of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen to its pavilion in Shanghai. In it’s place, Ai installed a screen that broadcast a livestream video of the statue in the Danish pavilion.
