Ai WeiWei "Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads" Exhibition @ Pulitzer Fountain | Hypebeast Mobile Famed and controversial Chinese contemporary artist Ai WeiWei will take his “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads” exhibition to New York later this year. The multi-year, global touring show is based on WeiWei’s interpretation of the famed 12 zodiac heads designed by European Jesuits in 18th century Qing Dynasty Emperor Qianlong’s court. Following attacks by foreign entities in 1860, the zodiac heads originally seen in the gardens of Yuanming Yuan were stolen. In WeiWei’s own take, the artist tackles issues of fake and copied pieces in the context of real as well as questions of “looting and repatriation.” The exhibition will begin on May 2, 2011 at the Pulitzer Fountain at Grand Army Plaza which is situated near Central Park and the Plaza Hotel. The exhibition ends July 15. What sort of things do you keep in mind when you’re creating a work like this? How are you hoping it will be received by the public? I think the public deserves the best.

i'm so tiny Spectacular Moleskine Doodles Explode with Energy Philippines-based illustrator Kerby Rosanes proves that doodling can be so much more than scratching unintelligible scribbles on paper. Through his Sketchy Stories blog, Rosanes shares his wonderful world of doodling in a simple Moleskine sketchbook. Equipped with an ordinary Moleskine, a few Uni Pin drawing pens, and his innate gift for drawing, the artist is able to transport viewers to a world where tiny, cartoonish creatures explode with gusto to make up larger entities. Each of the illustrator's complex and crowded sketches are filled with minute details that allow the eye to wander and discover new characters and designs at every turn.

French street artist JR is known for wheat-pasting giant, monochrome portraits of regular people.
