Ai Wei Wei’s work Fairytale involves the transport of 1001 Chinese citizens to Kassel Documenta in five stages. Awaiting their arrival are 1001 wooden chairs from the Qing dynasty, spread throughout the four main venues of Documenta, and it’s okay to sit on them.
By the way, most of the people he transported were from villages and have never seen such a big art show in their life before.
