Does provocative art need an authority against which to react? How does art feed memorials? How do art pieces age?

On 21 April the legendary Chinese contemporary artist, documentarian, and activist Ai Weiwei was at the Intellectual Forum at Jesus College to discuss this and more with Fellow Jeremy Baumberg.

Ai Weiwei discusses the relationship between authority and art, visibility in the arts, and artistic process and time, in a wide-ranging conversation.
