Around the world with Ai Weiwei: Where to get your fix of the artist’s work

Ai Weiwei is nothing if not prolific. He spent the better part of 2016 traveling around the globe visiting refugee camps for his new documentary feature film, “Human Flow,” debuting in theaters this month. That’s not all. He’s made so much art that he currently has work in 12 museum and gallery exhibitions around the world — eight of them solo shows.

In New York, the contemporary artist and social justice activist is installing some 300 works across the city’s five boroughs for the Public Art Fund exhibition “Good Fences Make Good Neighbors,” opening Oct. 12. He’s also co-curating a documentary film series at the Guggenheim Museum this month and, of course, he’s got his own YouTube channel with countless videos.

Here’s where you can get your Ai Weiwei fix in art, on film and in person.
