HANGING MAN IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: The Arrest of Ai Weiwei Author: Barnaby Martin Publisher: Faber and Faber () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 245 Dimensions: 21.6 x 13.7 x 2 cm +++ by Barnaby Martin +++ The most famous living Chinese artist and activist, Weiwei is a figure of extraordinary talent, courage and integrity. From the beginning of his career, he has spoken out against the world's greatest totalitarian regime, in part by creating some of the most beautiful and mysterious artworks of our age, works which have touched millions around the world.  After Weiwei's release, Barnaby Martin dodged the secret police to interview him. Based on these interviews and Martin's own intimate connections with China, Hanging Man is an exploration of Weiwei's life, art and activism. It is a rich picture of the man and his milieu, what he is trying to communicate with his art, and of the growing campaign for democracy and accountability in China.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books.
