Ai Weiwei’s Travelling Zodiac Heads

Boston Calling

Available for over a year

The Chinese government bans the artist Ai Weiwei from travelling abroad— but his art continues to fly around the world. And that includes his major exhibition ‘Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads’, which has just landed in the small Wyoming town of Jackson. Jim McNutt— president of the National Museum of Wildlife Art, which is the temporary home for Ai Weiwei’s work— discusses the exhibit with Boston Calling host Marco Werman.

They are cast in bronze and are displayed outside at the National Museum of Wildlife Art in the Wyoming town of Jackson. Courtesy of the National Museum of Wildlife Art
