I agreed when you said that in art, materials doesn’t really matter because it’s interchangeable and malleable, what really matter is the idea behind it and Ai Weiwei gave us in his work ‘Ai Weiwei dropping a Han Dynast Urn’ a really strong idea of activism, revenge, like if he didn’t care. He seems peaceful and his hand show the purpose.
